MILWAUKEE, Dec 19.-An attempt was
made at an early hour this morning to
wreck a train on the Wisconsin Central
railway, half way between Elkhart Lake
and Plymouth, about fifty miles from this
city. The attempt it is supposed was di-
rected at the express train reaching here
at in the morning, or the pay car which
passed recently. A large number of loose
rails were placed across the rails i'll a
lonely spot, but fortunately a wild freight
train was the first to reach the place, and
striking the obstruction the engine was
thrown from the track, but kept the road
bed; brakeman was Immediately sent
back to flag the coming express train.
When but short distance back the
brakeman was accosted by a man who
asked if the pay car had passed, and, be-
ing answered that it had, pulled revol-
yer and demanded the brakeman's money,
which he gave to the robber, amounting
to about $40; simultaneously with the
first demand two men appeared on the
other side of the track from the under
brush. After the robbery all disappeared,
and no trace has yet been found of them.

men and robbed of a considerable sum of
money. The murderers escaped and a
large reward was offered. The sheriff
and police traced them from town to town
until they lost all trace of them in this
city and started home. The city police
worked up the case and soon arrested one
of the men on flat boat, ice bound here.
Another, Mel Haines, was detected by
means of tin-type in the hands of the
police A third, Hosea Devall, the first of
the gang, was found in another fiat boat
at Louisiana The fourth, Bob Morgan,
eluded the officers, who traced him to

relieve people in the river towns of a
great incubus.
