While the prosecution was making its
damaging accusations the three soporinc
ones were absolutely happy. Resting
their tired heads upon the back OF their
respective chairs. they slept the sleep
OF the Just, unmindful OF their sur
roundings.
In vain did their attorneys franticaliy
endeavOr TO interest them in their case.
They did not care what happened. they
merely wanted to be let alone.
At the close Of the prosecution one
or the attorneys for the defense arose
and stated that two Of the defendants
were under seventeen, and. therefore,
could nor be tried before the regular
Polio Court.
Then James was called upon the
stand.
Did you steal anything from the
company asked his lawyer.
James glanced longingly at his chair,
and tried to arrange himself more COM
forfably in the witness stand.

Phantom Train Frightens RaiIroadsrs.
Bloomington, 1ll.--A phantom freight
train on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
is worrying some OF the trainmen of
that road. The train is said to have
whirled thru Watseka at speed OF
sixty miles an hour. A heavy freight
train in charge Of Conductor Fox and
Engineer Hazard was occupying the
side track when the phantom rushed
by.
Operator Eckerty, who was on duty,
says he saw the train, too, and made
an entry in his trainbook to that effect.
When he reported the train to the dis
patcher. the latter reprimanded him,
stating that no special train was on
the division, and for him to wake up.
When the crew corroborated the story
Of the operator and described the train
rushing by, regardless of the stop sig
nal, the dispatchers began to take no.
Hce, and ask for further particulars.
When Operator Burnett, of the To-
ledo, Peoria & Western, which crosses
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois at that
point also reported seeing the strange
train, the phantom began to take on
the appearance of realty. All crews
are on the alert to see II there will be
