Cattle on Track Delayed “Hoosier Limited” Monday.

Montlcello Journal. The Hoosier Limited, going south Monday afternoon, was delayed this side of Rensselaer by a drove of cattle that had broken into the right-of-way and persisted in keeping on the track in front of the train for more than a mile. Trainmen tried to drive them off but to no avail. Another cause of delay was the extra large amount of mail received at Hammond by transfer from other roads that consumed fifteen minutes in loading. President Delana’s private car was a part of the train as far. south as Monon. He was-on his way to Lafayette to address Purdue students and to attend a dinner party <ln his honor at the Lahr bousa given fry Samuel Murdock, a director of the Monon. Mr. Delano used the delays to his train to point a moral and make an illustration in his address. *
