week Engineer Frank Joiner said
the man came from clump of bushes
near the track and deliberately step
ped in front of his train. The train Is
an express and at the time was making
about forty miles an hour. Just be
fore the train struck him, the man
looked up and waved his hands at the
engineer. He was tossed high in the
air and landed some distance away,
alongside the track Nearly every
bone in his body was broken. The
train was stopped and backed anG the
lifeless body put ON the train and
brought to this city, and delivered to
undertaken Samuel Stockton. The
case was undoubtedly one of suicide.
There was nothing found on his person
to reveal his identity, the only article
found in his clothing being razor.
The man was deeently dressed, wear
ing blue serge coat and pantaloons,
an outing shirt and brown Derby
hat. He had small dark monstache

ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN.

Three boys apparently about ten or
twelve years of age, attempted to
wreck the North bound evening pas
sengef train on the Pennington
Branch, on Tuesday of last week, by
placing railroad ties on the track IN IA
deep cut, a mile this side of Ringoes.
The train left the station here Mt g. 90,
with abont forty passengers aboard,
miles mn hour when it passed Bovine
Station and started to round the sharp
curve which terminates III II deep cut
Just this side of Boss's Road As the
engine neared the end of the curve,
Samuel Cooley the engineer saw n
pile of ties on the track Just ahead.
He applied the air brakes and sue.
ceeded in considerably reducing the
speed of the train, hut could not pre-
vent the engine from butting into the
obstruction, which, fortunately, was
showed ahead thus preventing the To-
connective from leaving the track Just
before the train struck the obstruction,
the engineer saw three young boys
leave the bank of the cut and ran
across the adjoining fields "a fast as
their legs could carry them.
When the train came to n full stop, En-
gineer Cooley sent brakeman Hillpot
after the boys, but they got away. The
ties that the boys placed on the track
were only deposited along the side Of
the track the day before by the section
gang It is supposed the boys placed
the ties on the track to see the fun
when the engine struck them. Con
ductor Harry Van Horn informed the
officials 10y wire upon reaching Ring
oes, and steps were taken to have the
boys apprehended, but without result
thus far. The attempt to wreck was
kept quiet and only leaked ont day
or two after it was made.
