The Silver State of the Gath states that
on Saturday evening as Mike Sullivan,
section foreman. was returning from
work he found pieces Of rails Al ties
placed on the track in such manner as
to throw off the train near the switch
east of town. At the same time he saw
two boys run through the sagebrush in
the direction Of the Reduction Works.
He followed them to the suburbs of town
but did not succeed in catching them or
ascertaining who they were. The emf
grant train from the east was due here in
less than an hour from the time the oh.
structions were discovered on the track,
and had they been placed there little
later the train would undoubtedly have
been ditched and probably some lives
lost. Parents should caution boys of
the danger OF such practices which in.
variably lead to the State Prison.

such as no one but good chopper could
leave; SO it is fair to conclude that II was
felled by an American. and none. to the
best OF our information, ever passed
through that section prior to that time.
The stump is completely petrifed, even
to the roots. Blanchard intends to have
It dug up and presented to the Pacific
Coast Pioneers for their cabinet. The
Reporter further states that Mr.. Blan-
chard will e1cayate tunnel and deposit
therein another stump and close ii up for
