Persistent Efforts to Wreck
Trains.

Jules Pointboeuf, assistant en-
gineer at the power house, was
arrested Friday, Jan. 70, and
Charged with an attempt at train
wrecking. For about a month the
trainmen in the Southern Pacific
some one Was making persistent
efforts to wreck trains. Several
times it was discovered that a switch
had been tampered with, but for
tuna'ely it was found out in time to
avoid any serious accident. De-
tective Long of the Southern Pacific
Company detailed Henry Gianel-
lonr, a railroad man, to keep close
watch and to capture the culprit if
he made any further attempts.
A, II O'Clock Friday night.
GianeIloni says, a man approached
the switch near the electric power
house, broke the lock and SO ar
ranged the rails that any incoming
train would run into some cars
standing on a side track. Gianelloni
says that he recognized the man as
being Jules Pointboeuf. The man
walked about two acres to switch
on the Louisiana Western tracks.
He repeated what he did with the
other switch. The removal of this
switch was calculated to cause fear
full damage to both life and prop
er,y.
After shifting the rails. Point
boeuf. i'll order to complete his dia-
boiical work, threw away the lamp
whose red light might have given a
signal OF dali ger to the trainmen.
At this juncture he was covered by
Gianelloni's pistol and was told to
throw up his hands, which he did.
He was taken to town and turned
over to Marshal Peck of the police
force. He protested his innocence,
and insisted that he had not tam
pered with the switches. He still
claims to be innocent.
Pointooeuf was for number o.
years employed as engineer, bu
was discharged and given an inferio
position, which he held for som'
time, and quit TO work for the tow
! at the power house. Pointboeuf i
about forty years old and has wifi
and five children.

undergo a surgical operation on
account of the injuries he sustained
some time ago at the hands OF row.
dies on the excursion train between
Duson and Crowley. This affair has
caused much suffering to Mr.. Gull
beau, to say nothing of the expense
and trouble. and We are sorry that
his condition is such as to necessl-
tate another surgical operation.
Reference to this matter will recall
to the minds of many people the
outrage which was perpetrated on
the night Mr.. Guilbeau was so mer-
c1lessly shot. The shooting took
place on the 18th of last November,
over two months ago, but nothing
has yet been done looking toward
the punishment of the guilty. The
question of jurisdiction has not
even been settled and there is a
large number of people who still
believe it was done in this parish
1t is not for US to say who is or are
guilty in this affair, but there was
unquestionably enacted on that
night in this country, which boasts
of law, .order and civilization, a
scene which would have disgraced
the most barbarous of savage tribes.
