A Fiendish Act.

PEORIA, ILL.,, August 16. "A most afro,
cious and fiendish act was perpetrated on
the Indianapolis, Bloomington and West

this afternoon. When the engineer OF the
evening passenger train coming west came
around bend at that point, he noticed that
he had run over something, and reversed
his engine. On pulling back they discov-
cred a boy, Willie Tandril, son of Mike
Tandril, section boss, lying just outside Of
the rails insensible and on closer examina.
ton it was found that he was tied to the
rail. A physician who happened to be on
the train, examined the lad and found that
two of his ribs were broken, and that he
was otherwise badly bruised. He was TAX
en- aboard the train and carried to Pekin,
where his father resides, but before reach
ing there he recovered consciousness, and
on inquiry told how he happened to be tied
to the rail. He said he had been digging
potatoes and was approached by we'll
dressed man who asked him to give up his
money. He had none and told him so, but
this did not seem TO satisfy the assailant,
vino thought he had some money concealed
about him, and he tiedrhis legs fast to the
rail, as he thought to scare tim. AT this
juncture his fendish captor heard the rum

him, but the knot was 50 tight he could not,
and he then run away to some timber near
by. This was corroberated IN a measure
by the train men, who say they saw man
come out of the woods after they passed
and on their backing up he returned to the
timber. The boy had almost worked him.

lower the grain rates, and thereby make
them more reasonable when compared with
stock rates. Heretofore the chief contro-
