 It's a Switch Engine

BOHEMIAN. Mont. Dec. 23-. Bruno, fleet yellow stag hound, has adopted railroad locomo- tive.
 The dog always may be found close to switch engine No. 911. He never rides, but runs beside the locomotive, averaging some 60 miles day. He eats with the engine crew, and when it works overtime he puts in extra hours. too At night he sleeps in the roundhouse beside his mogul idol.
 Bruno turned up at the round house three years ago, and hasn't missed day since. Scampering up and down the Bozeman yards daily, he has worn a path along the right of way. Trainmen say he knows the switchmen's signals and that, hearing the release Of locomotive airbrakes. he starts ahead or backward before the en- zine gets under way.
