THIS BULL FROG
CALLS IN FLACMEN
Said to be Two Feet High
With Voice Like a
Locomotive.

Hyndman, Pa, May 2S.-This
section is considerably stirred up
over the repor'sot a giant frog,
who has his abode near a big rock
In Willis creek. HIS frogship has
caused CONSERVATION among the
trsinmen on the Baltimore d Ohio
railroad because Of his ability to
initiate the deeptoned whistles ON
the freight engines. According
to the trainmen, the frog gets upon
the rock and sends his deep hroat-
cd bass sounding down the valley
exactly as the big Mogul engines
sound their whistles when thew
call in the flagman. Several flag,
men, thinking, they had beer given
the signal to return to their tram
left their posts aud wrecks were,
narrowly averted. Brakeman j. w.
Fleegle of Cumberland, Md, who
saw the frog, says he stands two
feet high and has eyes as big as
teacups. So far no affidavits have
been obtained.
