Attempt to Wreck a Train.

A most dastard1y attempt was made
Tuesday night to wreck trsin-in all
probability the passenger-within al

rscle, apparently. and nothing else
saved frightful wreck and probs bly,
two or three lives.
Wednesday morning when the sec

the spikes had been drawn from rail
and the bolts taken out from the fish

lengths from where the treacherous
work had been done. The rail had
been moved just little in order that it
would not be noticed by the engineer
This piece of cussedness had evident

before and it is supposed the intention
was to wreck passenger No. 10. The
rails showed Indications that the pas
senger and probably four or five
freights had passed over it, as the
edges on the ends were cut from being
out Of place. The fact that one spike
remained, which the scoundrel had
tried to draw and could not, probably
saved the train. 1t was on the high

New Depot at peCoS,

A Pecos special to the HERALD says:
''The p. E. & N. E. road is going to
build depot of it's own here. Here
tofOre it has used the T. & P. depot
but when 1t extended it's line from Ros-
we'll to Amarillo it announced that it's
stock rate would be $50 per Car from
Pecos to Amarillo, whereupon the cat
tlemen at this end of the line gently
reminded the management that they
would continue to drive across the
plains rather than pay it, and several
big herds were at once started. Then
the road announced a rate of $50 per
car and this seemed to be satisfactory
all around, whenthe T. & p. raised a
kick and invited the z. V. & N. E. to
get out and keep house to itself. The
result will be q fine depot one block

A1plne'S Future.

When it is definitely settled that
Alpine will get the roundEouse, ma
chine shops, dispstcher's Office, etc ,
the old town will put on an entirely
different appearance, and to predict
what its growth will be within two
years it would take good calculator
to tell, but the opinion is freely ex-
pressed that Alpine's population will
at least be doubled within one years.
time. This is the best location fo- q
good town between San Antonio and Ell
Paso and when once some enterprise is
underway to give Alpine a start the
town will steadily improve. The town
will not only receive support from the
people, but one business will
call for another and there will be
many enterprises to start up to help
make this one of the best known in
West Texas. Fine schools with sew
eral teachers, hotel for health-seekers,
and many things DOT thought of now
will come to Alpine if once a stir ia
created and the right spirit is display

GRIEVANCE COMMITTEES.
Plenty of Business For Them on All
Roads at Present.

IL seems as if the grievance commit
tees of the -arious western roads have
their hands full at present. The
Southern Pacific officials are being en-
tertained at San Francisco by the
grievance committee of the B. OF l.. F.
At Houston, W. M. Stockwell. of
this city, j. A. Forgsson, of San An
tonic, John Logan, of Algiers and w.
J. Hoover, of Houston, who compose
the general grievance committee of
the Order of Railway Couductorsof the
Southern Pscitic, are interviewing the
officials at Houston and, il is said, that
their business merely relates to the
Interpretation of certain rules laid
down for the guidance of the employees.
The grievance committees along the
line of the Union Pacific railroad are
also very busy while the A. q T. and
the Santa Fc have ski.mishers out in
ali directions. Just how all this will
end is q question. At some points
trouble is predicted while at other
points trouble is the least of their
thoughts
1t Is an acknowledged fact that some
of the employees have, what is known
in railroad parlence, as "a kick COM
ing" and in such cases it is very evil
dent that their demands will be recog-
niZed, while in few cases, 1t is said,
that the railroad companies will make
hard fight to have the claims OF the
grie vance.committees thrown out.

HOpeleSSIy Insane.

Engineer Newcomb, who has been in
care of the Santa Fee hospital authori-
ties at Topeka, was brought back yes
terday afternoon and ken to the ter
ritorial insane asylum. Mr.. Newcomb,
his many friends will regret to learn,
is hopelessly insane and his commit
ment was an absolute necessity.
1t has been noticed for some time
past his mind was failing, but his con-
dition became serious only within the
past two or three weeks. When he ar
rived here yesterday afternoon he was
stark, raving mad. He has lucid inter
walls when he recognizes friends as is
his usual wont. In a flash, how ever,
his mind gives way and his raving
begins new, talking in frantic man
er on religious subjects for minute
or two and then again threatening
the lives of those around him. His
mental condition is such as to make
him unsafe to be at iberty.-Optic:

speech delivered in the house of rep
resentatives by Mr.. Lincoln in 1913.
James X Polk was president. the
Mexican war was in progress. and
Lincoln's speech was based on reso-
luton to refer the presidents mes
sage, which dealt mainly with the
war, to a committee. Lincoln opposed
the war because its real purpose was
the acquisition of new territory in
which TO extend slavery: and, though
it had been declared by congress, in
mis- speech he deprecated it and vigor-
ously flayed the president. As the Du-
buque Telegraph comments: The
man who did this is now universally
regarded as one of the greatest states
men of all time: yet, while the mem
ory of Lincoln is honored and is des-
tined TO be perennial, those who now
criticise the president for waging
war not authorized by congress, and
which threatens the republic with
even a greater danger than Mr. Lin
coin assumed slavery TO be, are pro-
claimed as enemies to their country.
In 1913 Lincoln was placed in the
same category, but he subsequently
proved that he was a patriot and a
humanitarian. Time and them selves
will similarly vindicate those who
prefer adherence TO the Declaration of
Independence to conquest.
