cABoosE ON A MAD FRoLIC
Startled Citizens Watch Its Flight at
More Than a Mile
Minute

Special to The Herald.
COWANESQUE, Pa, April 1S.-The
wild fight of a runaway caboose
on the Buffalo and Susquehanna rail-
way is the talk Of railroad men of the
county. Detached from the train at
the summit, near Sabinsville, on the
main track, while all the crew were out
attending switching, propelled by
the high prevailing winds, the caboose
started down the steep grade on
lark.
1t went through Sabinsville at fast
clip, and before the operator could
raise Westfield, 1t whisked by that sta
ton. Cowanesque got the word how
ever, and threw a switch, but the roll
licking runaway, which now resembled
simply a red streak brushed aside a
handcar, jumped switch frog, landed
square on the main track, and con-
tinued it's dizzy fight. Approaching
Knoxville, it had long level stretch
without grade, and by the time 1t
reached the latter place 1t had recov-
cred it's head and was moving with de-
corum.
A switch was thrown, and 1t glided
gracefully into 1t and slowed down, as
a caboose should.
The thirteen miles were made in
twelve minutes. Luckily no trains
were in the block.
