Davenport. Has . Record.
The capture OF the man, W. H.
Pieper. in the act of attempting to
tamper with q switch go as 10 wreck
a Rock Island passenger train in
Davenport Saturday night, brings
back to the Democrats memory some

right in line with the character that
a great many railroad men have i'm.
puted to him, the Democrat says,
and goes far to strengthen them in
the belief that they have held ever
since the Rock Islands No. was
derailed in the edge of Des Moines
one night about three years ago
the belief that Pieper did that piece
of work.
About that time the Rock Island
had little trouble with few of its
employees. and among them was Pie
per. He had worked for it as bag
gageman and brakeman, and for
some reason, the road claimed for
good cause, he was discharged. 1t
was known that he was bitter against
the road. and it was reported that he
had talked OF revenge. or intimated
that he would seek satisfaction.
None Of his acts were especially sus.
picious, however, and no watch was
kept on him.
One night the train mentioned was
thrown from the rails at a switch in
the edge OF the city OF Des Moines.
The place was lonely one-like the
location Of the switch Pieper was
fooling with in Davenport Saturday
night in his fiendish effort to cause
q derailmeat and wreck-and it was
not at all impossible that the switch
might have been fixed. At any rate
the train left the rails there and piled
up, and when the trainmen and
jostled passengers got together te
pick up the pieces they found Pieper

Of the switch where the derailment
occurred.
Acquitted Him.
He was badly hurt, and as the in
cident is recalled now, was insensiblt
when found, but became consciou!
soon after. He was asked how h.
came to be there, for it was claimed
that he had not been in any of the
cars on the train previous to thu
wreck. and his presence in the mids
of the scraps seemed suspicious ane
the more SO in view of his we'll known
antipathy to the Rock Island road
He said that he had been riding
on the platform, between the cars
and that he had been thrown off ant
hurt when the crash came. He wa
held as the cause of the wreck, bu
sitter a trial was acquitted. Hi
story could not be fairly refuted b,
the company, and there was no posi-
tive evidence against him.
