TRAIN TAKES HEN AND NEST
Cars Conc on Which Biddy Used TO
Lay All Her Eggs, and She
With II.

Oaktown, Ind.-A brown hen, be-
longing to Daniel Coleman, who lives
neal the G. &c e. I. passenger station
here, used the rolling stock Of the
G. & e. /. railroad for a nest. She laid
an egg every day, sometimes using
a fiat car, sometimes a box car; some
times the coal dust and sometimes
the steel frame under coal cars.
The hen delivered the customary
fowl announcement Of the arrival OF
an egg for several days, but members
of the Coleman family we're unable
to find her nest. When egg prices
suffered upward revision close watch
was kept on the hen. She was seen
to fly in a box a partly filled with
baled straw. There she disappeared
for a time, only to reappear in the
car door, cackle for a few minutes,
then fly to the ground.
The hen disappeared for good a few
days ago when the door Of a box car
into which she had made her daily
pilgrimage was closed on her by a
railroad employee and she was soon
on her way to Terre Haute.
