9Th to throw the Boston express train off the
track near Suncook depot. Two men were seen
placing ties upon the track by woman, whom
they beat to insensibility and dragged to con-
cealment among the bushes. She recovered
consciousness and managed to reach Sancook
in time to give notice Of the Instructions, thus
saving the train from impending destruction.
