SAN ANTONIO, Ten, June IA bold
attempt was made last night to wreck
the east-bound Southern Pacific passen-
ger train. which arrived here this moru-
ing slightly delayed. A tramp
near Spofford, $50 miles west
of here, discovered crowd of men en-
camped at a siding at CLOCK this

GUS that the tramp hurried to SpOfford
and told the section foreman of what he
had seen. The train was due in an
hour, and the foreman hurried out
to the camp of the desperadoes, who
fled. Investigation showed that the
wreckers had broken into a deserted Sec
ton house near by and stolen therefrom
hammers, Crowbars, etc. and with these
removed one rail and otherwise so dis
abled the track that had the foreman
with force of men not repaired the
damage the passenger train would have
been deraIled and dashed down q ravine
several feet. Officers are scouting the
