Marion. — A car loaded with cattle belonging to Ed. Peterson caught fire from a spark from the engine, as the train was running between Kathryn and Eastedge. Owing to the strong draft created by the moving train, the fire made rapid headway before it was noticed, and it was with great difficulty that Mr. Peterson, assisted by R. Bomberg, held the fire in control until the car could be cut off at the next station, and the flames extinguished.
