A Fiendish Deed

A second attempt at train-wrecking on
the Grand Trunk the other morning about
mile east of South Lyon was horribly
successful. Some fend had taken the
bolts out of the fish plates and taken out
apart of a rail and dug out several ties
with the apparent purpose Of demolishing
the first train that came along. special
eastbound freight, leaving South Lyon
shortly after 3 o'clock, was the sufferer
the engine and eight cars being badly de-
moralized. The engine was smashed to
atoms, and all the cars which left the
track were badly wrecked. Engineer
Thomas Davis and Fireman Edward Hill
man stuck to their engine and were buried
Ia the wreck when il rolled over in the
ditch The engineer escaped with only a
trifiing injury, although that he was not
Instantly killed seems almost miraculous.
Fireman Newman was killed, his body be
ing terribly crushed. He lived at Fort
Grafton where he leaves wife and two
children and a widowed mother Brake
man Campbell oflFort Gratiot also fell un-
der the wreck and was injured internally
and so seriously that it is feared he can
not recover.
IL is thought some one must have done
it who had n spite against the railroad
company, as this is the second attempt
within a short time TO wreck the train in
nearly the same place. IL cannot be the
work of any of the trainmen, but the
iendish work was evidently done to injure
the Grand Trunk.
There is no clue TO the wreckers. Excite.
ment runs high, and should they he caught
a iynching would probably follow.
