Mr. Webb believes that the striking knights Of
Labor arc responsible only for this wreck. but for
several attempts to wreck trains which nave been

Kn-lts and train wrrcking: 1t has been our aim to
project the companys property rather than anything
else So that the company would have no chance OF
raising any point against u.s. sincerely hope tho
criminals will meet their inst deserts. During eVerw

avail themselves Of every chance 10 rob- pillage ana
destroy. They have nothing To y<e and they are tne
people who start all riots with a view TO possible
