Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

The train of cars on the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis road, going south, on Thursday evening last ran into a flock of sheep about one mile and a half from Joliet, belonging to R. Zarley, killing and injuring about two hundred. The sheep were lying about the track near a curve, and consequently could not be seen by those having charge of the train until too late to avoid running over them. Fortunately, the cars were not thrown off the track.
