road has thoroughly angered and alarmed

will etlectually prevent similar attempts IN
the future. The effects of these numerous
attempts are already manifest I'm tine de-
creased passenger travel upon the road,
and "A further continuance may bring that
porlio of the roads traffic practically to "a
stand still.
