The Kemper Herald reports an
attempt to wreck train on the Mo
bile g. Ohio railroad last week south
of Scooba. We believe in ha"ging the
miscreant who will attempt the
wrecking Of train, without any Of
the formalities incident to courts if
his identity is POSITIVELY established
Every State should so amend its
criminal laws as to make ''train
wrecking' capital offense, whether
it results in the death of any one or
not, aud the attempt to wreck train
should be punished when proven, to
the same extent and in the same
manner as though the premeditated
act had been accomplished.
