TWO WRECKS ON CENTRAL.
Attempt Made to Wreck and Rob
Passenger Train.

What was supposed tn have been
"a daring attempt % wreck and rob
the east bound Central passenger
/ train Saturday night one mile this
/ side OF Sardis, resulted in ditching
/ tea cars Of a west bound fast freight
which had orders to meet the pas
senRer train at SArdis. The wreck
occurred about s:4J when the train
was running about twelve miles an
hour.
The scene Of the wreck was at the
gravel pit switch, near the farm Of
Rev. Il. +. Butler. a heavy steel
rail had been carried some distance
aud placed on the track between
what H. known as the safety rail
and the main line rail. When the
eugine of the freight train struck
this obstruction It passed over safs-
ly and remained on the track. bat
when the cars came in contact with
the rail they began jumping the
track Ia every direction. Nine of
the wrecked ears were emptv and
they are piled upon each other iu a
perfect mass. The track was not
seriously damaged bat some of the
ears were badly torn up
The passenger train which was
due here al 9:0J Saturday night did
not arrive until about six O'Clock
yesterday morning. The short run
was sent Il the scene OF the wreck
TO transfer passengers and convey
Them TO Ennis. The through train
turned here yesterday aud returned
to Fort Worth on its regular time,
Passengers for the west having been
brought over from Ennis on the
short run train.
Officers and trainmen believe that
the obstruction was placed on the
track for the purpose Of wrecking
the passenger train and robbing the
express car. That there was more
than one man In the plot is very
evident from the size OF the rail
