SHOT EAGLES FROM TRAIN
Baggageman on Western Road Dis
played His Hardness with
4 Gun.

When the Missouri Pacific passenger
train was speeding on its way vest
ward one day lately, says the Stafford
(Kan.) Republican, Tom kinney,
baggagemen, saw an eagle perched on
the cross arm OF telegraph pole some
distance east Of Kingman and made
the remark to himself: I'll get that
fellow this evening"" He informed
the Eain crew of the prospect ahead,
and the engineer and fireman agreed
to be on the Lookout on the return trip
in the evening, and II it should prove
that the Mr.. Eagle in question Was
still there a little Of the air pressure
would be applied and the train brought
down to about Is miles an hour, so as
to give Tom the tip of the birds pres
ence as well as a fairly good chance to
see what he could do with rife.
When the train arrived near the
place mentioned In the evening, not
only the eagle Of the morning was in
sight but its mate had also come and
taken up position at the other end
of the telegraph pole cross bar. Tom
was given the tip by the steam being
applied and he made ready for action.
The boys say that when Tom fired the
two shots 1t sounded almost like one,
so quick did they follow in succession.
and the result was that both birds de-
scended to mother earth, each pierced
by bullet. They were taken on board
the train and Tom was the hero OF the
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1906-08-16

Prussian railway cars have only
about three-tenths the carrying CD
pacity of those used in the United

New and heavy all-steel cars are
about to be put into service for the

Japanese railways, as amended by the

Sir Charles Metcalfe, the consulting
engineer of the Rhodesian railways,

construction on the railroad above Vic

miles of track were laid in IL hours.
William G. Brown, who has just

view of the Bible. THE Evolution OF

book in all It's details and conclusions,
but all must admit its sincerity and
fairness.
Mr.. Mann has summed up for popu-

been for some time a general desire
for a condensed and unpolemical state

and of the steps by which they are
reached. IL The Evolution OF Great

FIRST USE OF AIR BRAKE.
Westinghouse "Kickshaw" on In
itial Trial Rendered Further
Talk Unnecessary.

PersoEs who should have known bet
ter thought Westinghouse visionary
when they were told that he. proposed
to stop q train by air. Nobody seemed
inclined to let him try his plan on a
real train, but they did not object to
his working a model OF 1t In a shop
where he couldn't do any harm, nor in
voIve anybody else in expense. writes
Arthur Warren In Success Magazine.
He knew his scheme would work, but
he could not make anyone else believe
It. So he continued to sell his inven-
ton for replacing derailed cars on the
tracks, and to talk about his brake to
any railroad man who was willing to
listen.
well, have you ever stopped
train with this air thing Of yours?"
they would ask.
No, he couldn't say that he had done
SO. Nobody would let him try 1t even
on a train of dump cars.
One day he arrived In Pittsburg,
selling his other invention and talking
about his brake notion to man con-
nected with railroad out there.
That's great idea OF VOWS" said
the man, we will try 1t on our line!"
So the officials of this railroad per-
mitted Westinghouse to put his new
