A big city lawyer came to town to defend the railroad in a lawsuit brought by a framer who'd lost his prize bull when the train went through his place. The attorney immediately cornered the farmer and started bargaining with him to settle out of court, at last getting the old coot to sign a release and accept a check for half the amount he wanted for the bull.

As they walked outside, the lawyer confessed, "You know, I hate to tell you this, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn't have won that case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your property. I didn't have a single witness to put on the stand."

The farmer scratched his head and, with a slow drawl, admitted, "Well, I was a little worried about winning that case myself because that durned bull came home this morning."
