Last evening, while going over the Gen.
terville bridge. an electric car ran into
huge stone placed on the track. This
spot is very poorly lighted. conse-
quently the cur was almost upon

severe shaking up, no serious damage was
done. The conductor and motorman
with difficulty rolled the rock
one side. This 10 the third
time that an obstruction has been
placed in the way of the electrics at this
point. This was meant for the car COM
ing down, in the opposite direction, and
had the plan been successful the car
would probably have BEEN shattered.
Last night thieves broke into the COM
pany's station at Clyde and stole motor
mans cap and badge belonging TO Rem
