Attempt 10 throw n Train off
the Track.

LAPoRTE, Ind, Aug. PA bold attempt
was made last night to throw the freight
train going East, on the NJ. s. & MIR. R..
Oft the track, about mile and half west OF
here. A man formerly in the employ of the
company, was coming down the track from
Hawesville about 8 o'clock p. m, discovered
I rail laid across the track, and few fect
further on, tile placed in the same manner.
The man laid down his carpet sack, con-
tanning among other things $50 in money,
and stopped to pick up the rail to remove it,
when some one fired pistol at him, the ball
passing through his coat. As he straight
ened UP he encountered man who seized
him by the throat and again fired, the ball
taking effect in the mans hand, cutting one
finger off. He released himself, ran to this
station and gave the alarm
Mr.. Paine, Division Superintendent Of the
Western Division, Sheriff Mead and others,
took aa engine and ran to the spot in time
to stop the train. The rail and tie were still
on the track, but could discover no one. -,
1t was so dark the fiend could not be recog,
nized. No signs of the saspet bag could be
discovered-the rascal probably carried it off.
