FLYNN'S PREDICAMENT
W. VV. Flynn, at .Mile tfi on the

had an exciting experience with a cow
moose and her calf. He was riding on
a handcar and came round a curve onto
tiie moose and her calf. The cow
charged him, and leaped upon the
handcar. Mr. Flynn found the car was
not large enough for both Dim and the
moose and sprinted for a telegraph
pole with tiie enraged moose tickling
his neck with her whiskers. The aui
ttial was too close to try to climb the
pule, and after dodging about for some
time some dogs nearby drew the ani
mal’s charge and Mr. Flynn again hit
the handcar, with the moose in pur
suit. Hounding a curve a number of
section hands were encountered who
charged in mass formation rescuing
Mr. Flynn from a serious predicament.
