any Killed on Raiiroad Tracks Have |
No Business There. a
The fearful slaughter of trespasser
on the Penn yenia railroad trac
has once more awakened the attention
of the railroad, municipal and county
authorities to the fact that something
should be done to prohibit people from
| walking on the dangerous iron high-
w says the Pittsburg Post. The
blood record ever made in one
week has just been established on the
| Pittsburg division of the Pennsylva-
| nia. Wednesday morning the south-
western express killed two men, a
! freight train killed another man near
Johnstown and Conductor George
Vance reported that an unknown man
| had been ground to pieces in the Ar-
| dara tunnel, and that the body of an-
| other man who had been run down
ad been forwarded to Greensburg.
The night before another unknown
man was instantly killed east of
Greensburg by the Pittsburg limited,
and an aged colored man who was
picking up coal was killed near the
| same place. Andrew Soricin, a for-
| eigner, was struck by the day express
near Radebaugh and died before he
could be taken to the hospital. Yes-
terday one of the fast morning trains
killed another man who is thought to
have jumped from a freight train in
| front of the rapidly moving passenger
| engine. Shortly after one of the fast
trains shot out of the Ardara tunnel
| yesterday three men stepped on the
| track and came near being ground up;
| in fact, nothing could have saved them
had it not been for the fact that tha
train was moving on a cautionary
block and was brought under control
by the emergency brake. The engi- |
neers of the fast trains are careful
men and it almost unnerves them |
when they see a human being hurled
into space. But they are powerless to
avoid such calamities, as the careless
track trespassers still walk right to
| their doom regardless of every warn-
ing. A railroad official in talking about |
| the slaughter that is going on yester-
| day said that he could see no way to |
prevent it, as people weculd persist in |
walking on the tracks. He related
a conversation between an American
and an English railway official while |
both were riding on the rear end of a |
limited. The Englishman perceived |
| some men walking on the tracks and |
said: “Why do you allow that?’
“Well,” said the American, “what do |
you do with such trespassers?’ “We
st them,” sald the Englishman. |
“Well, we do worse than that,” said
[ the American; “we kill them, and yct
we can’t keep them off the tracks.”

Sheep in Spain.
In Spain there are some ten million
| of migratory sheeep, which every year
travel as much as two hundred mile
from the ‘delectable mountains
where the shepherds feed them till
the snows descend. These sheep are
known as transhumantes, and their
mareh, resting places and behavior are
regulated by ancient and special laws
and tribunals, dating from the four-\
teenth century. At certain times no |
one is allowed to travel on the same |
route as the sheep, which have a right!
to graze on all open and common land
on the way, and for which a road nine-
ty yards wide must be left on all in-|
| closed and private property. The shep-
herds lead the flocks, the sheep follow
and the flocks are accompanied by
mules carrying provisi and large
dogs which act as guards against the
wolves. The merino sheep travel
four hundred miles to the mountains,
and the total time spent on migration
there and back is fourteen weeks.—
