The worthy car checker and general pusher of the DSS&A, located at Mackinaw came near meeting with a serious accident last Monday. A Consignment of household goods including a number of ducks were unloaded on trasfer shipment. Jim endeavored to drive a pair of ducks to water and the ducks flew in his face and nearly blinded him. But under the skillful treatement of Dr. Reycraft he will keep his sight and learn to let the ducks alone in the future.
