and demanded the arrest of neigh
boris threshing crew that was yiolat-
ing the Sabbath, says an exchange.
The county attorney was pulling
weeds In his garden and he suggested
that the complainant go before the

but he was informed that the justice
was fixing his windmill. He was then
asked to telephone the sheriff and
have him attend to the matter, but
he was loading cattle at the stock
yards. The farmer was exasperated
and resolved to saddle horse and go
for the constable, but his good wife
who was canning fruit, informed him
that the boys had driven the horse
to town and were playing ball.

The inspection will be the first

has been made under the direction Of
the interstate commerce commission
under the authority granted to 1t by
congress, which appropriated $50.
600 for the purpose. One device
consists OF an arrangement attached
to the track and projecting above it.
When the signal is set for danger the
device is also set for operation and
should the signal be overrun, a valve
Is opened underneath the engine
which let's out the air and sets the
brakes.
Another device is guaranteed to
make a collision of any kind, even
on single track, an impossibility. 1t
is said that the device is such that
when train enters a block" it
sets a stop apparatus at the other
end of the block. With this set for
operation II an engineer attempts to
disregard the signal and to enter the
block from enither direction, the au-
tomato stop opens the air valve on
the locomotive, setting the brakes
and bringing the train to full stop.
