It seems that a freight train in­ cluding many cars, o f hogs and sheep lecame uncoupled while traveling westward. The locomotive with sev­ eral cars attached proceeded, to a point- opposite the Ervin- stone quarry hnd drew to a quick stop. A 'half pule up the' track, the tear portion rolled on down grade with ever /in­ creasing" momentum. It', was early dusk, apd while at play, in opr fron t •yard, I paused to ascertain why the train had come to such a,sudden halt. Then I, heard.what I thought was an* bther • train thundering, down behind the kilns, I Tan into the house shout­ ing “ There's gonna he- a wreck. Uome Mother,' there’s gonna be ’ a wreck!” Just as mother said “ Oh, reckon not”,, there was a terrific crash, and from the .fron t doorway we observed a ball of. fire burst up a hundred, feet like an ascending rocket. The - run-away cars had crashed into, the other pprtipn .of the, train, and a score o f cars werel tum­ bled about-or smashed into kindling1 wood. Much o f the livestock was kil­ led -pr so -badly’-Injured that’ it was teotaary .to dtatroy. thenu^.Other o f mso ’ frightened- ' animals became scattered about the countryside,.and both Villagers and farmers turned out to round them up, Quite a flock sheep found their way to the vicinity o f the James MeM>llan farm where he turned them in with his own Dock for tenipOraiy, shelter. As a result o f this net, James let himself in fo r no little trouble and a lot o f good natured tenter on the* part o f local pranksters. For when it came time fo r railroad authorities to lay claim to these,scattered animals, they were so diligent in Jim's case thpt they insisted on including several lead o f his own prized'ewes. The difficulty almost involved the' un­ fortunate Jim in a law suit, both to; retain hiB property and good name. But local jokesters had their day, and ever afterward the Good Samaritan to suffer the ignoble title— “ Sheep Jim” McMillan. * Across the railroad; tracks was. the Conway Sweepey SalaOn, and a block beyond, the Pendlum blacksmith shop.
