A man named Michaud, living above Grand Falls, built a railroad car. It consisted of four wheels, two large and two small, round which went a square linked chain. The car is moved by a crank, and goes at incredible speed. Michaud lives at St. Basil and works at St. Leonard. In the morning he goes to work on his car, in the evening he rides home on it. A few evenings ago, just at dusk, the section men saw what they thought was a phantom flit along the road. They pursued and captured it. It was Michaud and his car. They sent it to Gibson and it is there now a marvel of untaught ingenuity. – Fredericton Star.
