one, believed to be dissatisfied en-
ploye Of the Lake Superior Consolidat-
ed company, attempted this morning to
blow up part of the Algoma Central
railway track with dynamite. The
damage was not great, only few feet
being destroyed. Repairs were quick-
ly made and the trains are running as
usual. Militiamen on guard to prevent
such occurrences are too few for the
purpose. More trouble is possible, as
disgruntled woodsmen claim to have
more dynamite than was generally
supposed.

II have caused a careful investiga-

very few cases within the past two

that such a serious condition and

used 20 be reported In the newspapers
