The Peculiar Texas Steer.

Says a Rocky Mountain truth-teller: A Wyoming man saw a Texas steer standing on the railroad track,, and knowing that the express train was due tried to induce the beast to move. Several pieces of board thrown at the ferocious monster failed to ipove it, until at last the train rushed down the track at lightning speed, he seized the steer by the taxi and twisted it like a wet towel. At this .moment the train struck them both and the result w'as stupendous. Tlie steer was found two days afterwards browsing peacefully in a cornfield, with two driving-wheels hung on its horns. No trace of either the man or the engine has been heard of since.
