ALMOST AN ACCIDENT. - AS the
train was passing along last night, at
the rate of about eight or ten miles
an hour, about ten miles beyond Vim
ceunes, the locomotive met with an
obstruction, 10 the shape Of cross
tie placed on the track. The cow
catcher passed over the tic. which
lodged against the front wheels Of the
engine. As the train was running
quite slow, the wheels revolved with
out passing over the tie The train
was stopped rs soon as possible, but
it required some time before the tie
could be loosened and removed, Had
the train been running at the usual
speed it would have inevitably been
thrown from the track, and possibly
many lives would have been lost
For a man who would be guilty OF
such an act, no punishment could be
severe enough. It is to be hoped the
scoundrel or scOundrels may be found
out, arrested and punished as the
crime deserves. The people in the
vicinity ought TO assist the railroad
men in bringing the rascals to justice
