Cow Causes Accident

When ti.<' l.:orning freight train
that lett Wa; H,own for Candy at $3.50
YVES sailing u'ong merrily between
t'.ltanlont d.: Ioritz. S. H., last Mon
dav about $50 o'clock, a young 10
vine, a female of the species that was
grazing in the tall grass on one side
of the right OF way, suddenly took
notion in her head to cross over to
the other side of the track just ahead
of the freight, which was in charge OF
engineer Whipple and Conductor
Clark. Her judgment of the speed of
the oncoming train, unfortunately,
was bad. and just as she got in the
middle of the track the ''cow-catcher
or pilot of the big locomotive and the
COW came together with dali thud.
The engine went on over the carcas
Of the critter but the first truck of the
box car behind the engine jumped
the track as it passed over the COW,
tearing up the track for q distance OF
at least 100 feet. When Engineer
Whipple finally got his train stopped,
he found his engine pilot smashed,
one car off, a badly bunged up track
and the remnants of an impulsive
COW.
The Wrecking train from Tracy was
sent to the scene Of the accident as
soon as it could get there, and by
evening the track had been sufficient
ly repaired to enable the passenger
trains to get thru. In the meantime
the passengers from the east bound
morning train were transferred by
sending up train from Candy to the
scene and returning with them to
Tracy-Canby News.

THE CROPS

The acreage of wheat this
year was small due to the dis
satisfaction of the farmer with
market prices last year for
wheat. They seem to have
shifted their time and soil to
the production of rye, barley,
and oats. The yield of wheat
measures about an average Of
10 bushels an acre.
Corn is now being cut for
silo and is looking fine.
The hay crop also shows up
in large yields. Glover pro-
duction averages 2 to 3 tons
per acre and timothy from 3
to 4 tons an acre.
Rye and potatoes are fair
crops thruout the country.
Flax is giving excellent yields
except on too low ground.
Oats are in a healthy state
with bright heavy kernels and
a good yield.
