Here's One of the Best Stories of Season

Three men came down to the depot, inquired about a train, found, that it was an hour late, so they went across the street to a saloon, and settled down to doing a little heavy drinking.

So engrossed were they in this occupation an hour or so later that they did not even hear the train when it came in, and only when the whistle blew signaling the train had started did they become aware of the situation. So they busted through the saloon door and made a wild rush for the train, now moving slowly out of the depot.
