Tuesday morning; abou,t half past seven o’clock, as Mr. Emmet Kannal was driving his herd of six valuable cows to a pasture lot north of town, and was just crossing the railroad near M. L. Spitler’s residence, the belated morning express train from the south came along at a fearful rate of speed, aucl before Mr. Kannal | could hurry ail the cows across, | the engine caught two of them, j One was jammed head first into J the ditch on the left and the other | was carried nearly a hundred feet, ! and then flung clear to the fence [beside the track, to the right. Strange to say neither cow was killed out-right nor were any bones of either broken, but both are badly bruised and beaten, and perhaps will die of internal injuries.

And *it might be well for the young man” of the Oxford Tribune to remember that when all that takes place, that neither nor Attica will be the real center of the C. & I. C. railway system, but, instead, a little town in the sand ridges of Jasper county, called Fair Oaks, and we venture the prediction that the principal machine shopte of the company will there be located. Theyoung man, aforesaid, may also as well remem. ber that all the money donated to the road while in the possession of its former owners has been of no benefit whatever to its present possessors, and will cut no figure at all iu determining the location of the machine shops or other works ot the company.
