A pet dog belonging to Section Fore

peculiar accident few days ago. The
dog is small; of the wooly-pooly poodle
variety and had large bushy tail al
most as large as himself. He decided
to pass underneath the Limited pass

ing through Holbrook at full speed. AS
a result of the experiment, the dog is
minus much of his bushy appendage,
but, strange to say, in some way the
animal passed under the rapidly moving
train without sustaining other injuries.
