Traffic on the north-bound passen-

belonging TO Jesse Malatesta, OF

Broomall streets, Chester, and, as
cending the railroad embankment,
ran along the tracks. only being
halted when their legs went between

this was accomplished and traffic
was resumed on the north-bound
track.

When the maddened animals reach

its struggle. broke the harness and in
some manner fell to. the ground, its
four legs being broken. other in

County Engineer James Wilson,

reasonable.
"We must remember, however" 4"

There are few roads in New Castle
