were heard. The reports came in
rapid-tire order and the train crew
as well aa the neighbors did not know
what to make Of 1t, Police officers
were nearby, and they we're of the
opinion that drunken men were on the
train firing their reyolyers. but the
train did not stop and nothing could
be learned Of the shooting
Later however, when the train ar
rived at Thallmann. the conductor was
communicated with by the local oper-
atcr. and it was learned that about Is
torredoes had been placed on the
track
The torpedoes were the ordinary
kind used in signalling trains. 1t IS
not know who placed them on the
treck or for what purpose, but it is the
impression among the officials that
some miscreant obtained the torpedoes
placed them on the track and then
secreted them8elyes to hear the ex-
posion, The conductor realized what
it was as soon as the engine struck
them and did not even stop his train.

snag of some kind ana sunk. Efforts
We're made to save the boat by the In.

The owners of the Ingersoll claim
that the bark was sunk through the
negligence OF the tug boat and enter

The case has been set for Monday

223, an increase Of ffty-fve, or about
eighteen each year. The smaller
