Pile distractions on Street Car Tracks
For Fun.
A crowd of michievous boys on North
Pine street are educating themselves
for train wreckers and consequently
paving for themselves a road to the
penitentiary. They are between 10
and 10 years of age and go up and
down the street placing obstruction on
tracks, sometimes heaping pile of
stones on one of the rails and some
times piling bursh and limbs across
the track. Yesterday afternoon at
$50 as one of the Edison cars was COM
ing down the track stones piled on the
track in three different places were en-
countered and a large mesquite bush
was run into. These were enough to
have thrown the car off the track had
they not been discovered by the motor
man and removed. They can be seen
easily enough in the day time, but at
night they are apt to cause trouble.

the belief that such was the case, which
encouraged the short selling.
Mr.. Letter is credited with the state

clique would get, 1t would be promptly
shipped but the bears looked upon this
as bluff. In December very little was
