butter by the various creameries and
dalries located along the line, and was

that 1t could not be avoided. The COW
was instantly killed, and its body rolled
in under the wheels of the baggage
car, derailing 1t. The milk cans We're
all in the baggage ear, and the turn

turning the milk all over the surround

the cause of the accident.
The car was soon picked up, and in
30 minutes traffic was resumed through
