Hunt Coons With Train.

Birdsboro, Pa. —Catching raccoons from a freight train .was the unusual experience of John Cavanaugh, a brakeman on the Reading railway. While his freight was passing Modena, along the Brandywine, it being moon light, Cavanaugh saw the coon on the limb of a tree and pulled him down. After the animal was carried into the caboose he made a determined fight* and It was only with the aid of the train crew that the raccoon was finally dropped into a bag.
