and more particularly for the plausible
shell-game gentlemen who pulled the
wool over the eyes and off the backs of the

stopping the second section OF the train
plant and two camels were killed outright
while the rest OF the animals escaped. This
is the second time the Wallace train has
been wrecked within a month.
