THE TRAIN WAS NOT THIRSTY.

the owner IL by any good fortune IL
should be killed by a train.
But there are still some people who
have the mania for suing railroad
companies. One OF the most remark
able cases recorded was told of q few
days ago. There Is a tank about half
a mile from the own I'm which the
complainant lives. The freight train
which reaches that town at a certain
time OF day stops at the tank for
water. Some worthless negroes who
loaf around the depot are accustomed
to jump on the train and ride down
to the tank. Some time ago one OF
these negro hoys while beating a ride
got into trouble.
The train for some reason did not
stop at the tank as had been the Gus
tom but went on by at q stir pace. In
trying to get off the aforesaid loafing
negro suffered an accident by which a
leg vas broken. And now he wants
to sue Cor damages. He approached
strongly that he laughed the matter
in his hands. 1t so happened that the
legal gentleman is the counsel for the
railroad in that section. and the farce
Of the situation appealed to him SO
