BOULDER HALTS TRAIN WITH OF.
FICIALS ABOARD

Irvine, KY, February 19-Louisville
& Nashville Train No. 8, from Lex
ington to McRoberts was brought to
a sudden stop near here this after
noon. Less than half a dozen passen-
gers knew what the stop meant. Even
the division superintendent, a passen-
ger, was not advised.
That a wreck was averted was due
only to the keen eyesight and presence
Of mind on the part of Walter ellison,
the engineer. Running at the rate of
about twenty-five miles an hour, near
Gawan, flag station near here, max
ing up time, Engineer ellison saw an
immense boulder on the track. The
train was brought to stop less than
ten feet from the boulder.
The aid of half dozen men and the
use of some railroad ties was required
to move It. The track at this point is
lined with high cliffs on both sides
and 1t is thought the boulder became
loose and fell from the top of one OF
the cliffs, nearly 100 feet. Similar
boulders have been loosened by heavy
rains.
NJ. Sergeant. Superintendent of the
Louisville & Nashville division here
with headquarters at Ravenna, was a
passenger on the train. He knew
nothing of his narrow escape until a
reporter was received at his office this
afternoon.

today concluded the examination Of
witnesses into the coal car shortage
investigation and postponed further
hearings until next Friday morning
when 1t will hear any other interests
that desire to be heard.
Shippers and coal brokers are ex-
pected to ask for hearing to contra
dict testimony of railroad men, many
of whom placed the blame for the
present coal congestion upon the
practice by brokers Of reconsigning
cars.
Hayward H. Kendall, of the Kendall
Coal Company, Of Cleveland, testify
ing before the commission today de-
MED that the coal brokers were re-
sponsible for the present congestion.
On the contrary, he said, If 1t had not
been for the reconsignment of coal by
dealers many factories In large indus
trial centers would have been COM
PEELED to shut down this winter.
II. e. Speaks, general superintend-
ent Of the Toledo and Ohio Central

Figuring that the American
nation possesses and supports
ohe cat for every four or five
persons, our cat population no

souls. If one out of every four
cats kills five birds per season, it

We believe that the Journals

There are many half-wildcats

accepting the Journals estimate,
our cats are far too expensive.

both should be made a state

they may be the refraction OF
some great truth still below the

argues an infrmity of character

errors and mistakes the wise and

more from a mans errors than
