piled along the track. He Immediately

air brakes, but did d.nut succeed In stopping
the train until half Of it had passed the
obstruction, which was thrown aside by
tho COW catcher. The wood had been
placed along the rails In such way rs to
catch The wheels and throw the engine
from tho track, and the job had evidently

attempt to commit murder and injure
property was obtained"
