Pacific Train No. II at point just west
of Mission siding yesterday afternoon.
A large plank was placed across the
track and two large stones were placed
on either end of it. The stones were as
large as a 10-pound lard pail, and were
evidently intended to inJure the cylin
ders of the engine. Engineer Manser
saw the obstruction, but not in time to
stop his train. The pilot knocked the
board from the track, but the large rock
broke the cylinder cocks from one side
of the engine.
