Has Practically Confessed.
Special TO Tlmes-Republ1can.
Ottumwa, July 19.-Henry Hitler,
former section hand of the Burlington
at Washington, who because he was
discharged tried to wreck a passenger
train, endangering the lives of passen-
gers and crews on the train and only
for revenge on the company for dis
charging him from their service, has
been arrested. On the night of July s
an attempt was made to wreck NO
between Brighton and Oska loosa. A
heavy bridge timber had been placed
upon the track, where it ran upon a
long high trestle. Fortunately, the en-
gineer was very careful, experienced
man Hefwas running slowly and
keeping a sharp lookout He struck
the timber and crushed and splintered
it, but the engine was not derailed, as
would probably been the case If the
speed had been greater. The matter
was reported to headquarters and soon
some of the company's best men were
at work on the case.
After hooking the ground over very
carefully, Henry Miller was arrested
by the deputy sheriff of the county and
taken to Jail. He practically confessed
that he had tried to throw the train
from the track in order to be revenged
upon the company.
