The Elusive Bovine.
Passengers on thetrain from New
Haven which was due in Berli at
about S:45 o'clock this morning were
startled when the train suddenly came
&c an abrupt stop. Investigation dis
closed that the train was blocked by
Dalky COW which absolutely refused
To leave the tracks.
The incident took place near the rail-
road pond. A conductor alighted from
the cars and commenced to chase the
bovine. The COW, however, proved
to be too elusive for him and after
a fruitless chase of about ten minutes
the conductor gave it up as poor
job. Bossie seemed to take things as
huge joke an devidently thought the
conductor was trying to tag her.
Circltng about several times the COW
managed to get on the other side Of
the tracks.
At this moment freight was seen
| approaching. The COW stood directly
| In its path and 1t looked as il Bossie's
| existence was to come to an end. The
conductor of the train ran a short dis
| lance up the tracks and endeavored to
| flag the freight. As there is a curve
| at this point the engineer in charge
| Of the soncoming freight dId not see the
flag until 1t was too late to stop But
Bossie fooled them all. She stood In
| the renter of the tracks until the
freight was about Ave fet in front of
her, Then with quick movement she
Jumped aside escaping by a hairs
breadth.
/ K As the passenger train again COM
/ menced its. journey Bessie stood on
the side Of the track and wagged her
i tail and shook her head. as If to say:
1 That's the time fooled yor."
