The Whisky Bottle Speaks

"RUN over and her head smashed to a jelly as she lay across the track, and nothing was found in her pockets except a half-filled flask of whisky."

Thus the record of a San Francisco horror; and the reporter adds that nothing is known of the cause of the "accident." Heavens, man; did not the half-empty bottle of liquor give all the information needed? Did it not tell the story more fully and tragically than you could if you had seen the poor wretch crushed beneath the locomotive wheels? Who wants to know more, when the whisky bottle has once spoken? —Record-Union.
