Rabbit Wrecked Railroad Car.

Incredible stories of the size and powers of the jack rabbits of the western plains have filtered through to the east, but the most astounding of all is that of the rabbit, which the other day ran across the tracks of the Iron Mountain railroad at Knobel, Ark., about the time the motor railway car of Roadmaster A. A. Miller came along. The long-eared creature became tangled up in the wheels of the car in such a manner that the vehicle was thrown off the tracks. Mr. Miller sustained fractured bones and Internal injuries that necessitated his removal to a St. Louis hospital. A rabbit that can wreck a railway car Is something of a curiosity, even in Arkansas. —Utica Globe.
