The enclosing OF tho Cleveland 4
Pittsburgh railroad, at Martins Ferry,
with high board fence took serious
turn yesterday, and riot was narrowly
averted. Barney McEntee and his wife
and Mrs. Cleyis made things exceedingly
lively for the fence builders and police,
Revolvers were drawn and one arrest
was made. .t5 x. q 1 8 M :
About 10 o'clock the railroad workmen
who had built the fence down the east
side OF the track as far as the saloon Of
Mrs. Cleyis, began extending it past her
saloon, which opens out on the railroad,
She warned the workmen to keep of
her premises, a part Of which are claimed
BY the railroad company, but they paid
no attention and proceeded. Holes were
dug and posts put in them, and Mrs,
Clevis pulled the posts out and filled the
holes with gravel, and tried in other
ways to prevent the fence from going up,
but the men were too much for her and
soon had her place fenced in. Is. 4.
Barney McEntee, who had been on
picket duty for fifty hours without
sleep, followed suit, when the men made
preparations to extend the fence on
down in front OF his house, and made
things so lively that work was stopped
on the fence and not resumed during
the day. Barney put some of the men
of the ground and plugged the holes
tight and put up a notice warning ali
persons to keep OF his premises, Nj

sEDALlA, No., Nov. Train No. 8
wcut bound, on the Missouri Pacific
was wrecked by train robbers tire,
miles east OF Otterville, near tho notori
GUS Robbers Cut, at 2:4O this morning
Tho train consisted Of seven coaches, In
cluding mail, express and baggage. The
robbers had removed the spiked bolts
and iish.plates for, a distance Of three
rail lengths and placed crow.bars under
the raila so that they would spread.
When the train touched tho loosened
rails it jumped the track, broke loose
from the tender and ran flftyfe on the
ties and turnen over. Fireman Lyons
jumped and escaped injury. Engineer
John Boyd stuck TO his post and re.
ceived a severe wound on the back OF
his head and his hand was badly cut.
The tender turned across the track, cross
ing part of the mail thirty feet. There
were four postal clerks in the car, and all
were alightly injured. The baggage and
express cars were completely wrecked.
The smoker, which was filled with pas.
sengers, was turned upside down, and
the car was seriously smashed. Strange
to say, not one was seriously injured.
The train was going only about eighteen
miles an hour when the engine struck
the loosened rails, to which fact Is due
the miraculous escape Of the passengers
and the train crew.
A significant fact in connection with
the wreck, is that Detectives Frank Tut
and William Barrett, OF the Missouri
Pacific Secret Service, and several wit
nesses in the noted case Of the Otter
vile train robbery were ON the train.
They were en- route to Otterville to
testify in the case Of Hughes aud Huff

bers' Cut" robbery, whose trial was to
have been commenced TODAY.
