rails were discovered by track walker in time to avert an accident. Suspicion pointed to the tramp as being the guilty party, and late Saturday night Sheriff Cameron got on his trail and Tuesday he was captured'at Congress and was brought here and is now in jail awaiting an examination. The man arrested is an Italian and gives his name as Frank Halen. The brake men and conductor recognize him as the man they put off at Crowley Satur- day morning. Halen had been at work on the tunnel and also on the Ash Fork dam, and procured the dynamite used at the tunnel. and circumstances point toward him as being the party who committed the dastardly deed. as he is known to be the only person at Crowley at the time the track was blown up.

 The charge of dynamite was placed on the frog and packed with sand. and the discharge blew out about three feet of two rails. A portion of the flying rail cut one of the Western Union Tele graph company's wires. Judging from the damage done two sticks of dynamite were used.
 At S:l5 that morning west-bound freight train stopped at Crowley and put of tramp. who objected vigor- ously to being put of. The broken
