ferrous movements among the official, of
the Rock Island and Lake Shore railroads
to-day over three distinct attempts to
wreck two passenger trains last night

One OF the attempts was to wreck the

The train consisted of an engine, five
coaches and two sleepers, and was flled
with passengers. A three-Dound iron
wedge was placed in the guide
near the cylinder head, which blew out
the head and bent the frame of the Guide
totally disabling the engine. While this
was being done the theater train, which
left an hour later, passed the Omaha
train, when an attempt was made to
wreck 1t by turning the signal lights in
the rear, aud was only discovered by acct
dent In time to prevent the Omaha train
from crushing into 1t, from he.

was successful, was made
