all kinds of guesses were made as to
the kind of wild beast the sack con-
tanned. Finally a head was pushed

Westbound Rock Island train, due
at Topeka at $3.50 o'clock in the morn
ing, came in two hours late today,
and with its engine limping badly at
that. The delay was caused at Law
renee where the engine broke down.
Something happened that put one side
of the engine out of commission and
the locomotive came to-Topeka with
only one driver working. Trainmen
say it is possible for an engine to
travel in this manner with a light
train as long as the engineer is able
to stop each time on the quarter but
that if the engine stops on center
it is dead"
