HELD AS TRAIN
 WRECKERS Two Negro Boys Under
 Arrest. SPIKES DRIVEN OVER RAILS Several Attempts Were Made on Louisville and Nashville Line. On the Evening of March the First Effort Was Made to Derail
 Engine at Bridge Near
 McGehee's Switch.
SPIKES DRIVEN OVER RAILS

Charged with having attempted upon two occasions to wreck a train of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Ca
 pell Hill and Henry Hayes, two young | negro boys. were arrested Saturday morning by Deputies George Wilson and Frank Pettus. and locked in Jail. The arrest was made at McGehee's s Switch, near which place the alleged attempts at wrecking were made on
 the evening of March 3, and again on March 4. Both negroes live at Me- Gehee's.
 Since the discovery of spikes and crossties which had been placed on the track of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad at the Plntlala Creek crossing near McGehee's, the officers have been on the lookout for the perpetrators of the deed. The long search and quiet investigation resulted yesterday in the arrest of the two boys.
 Neither of the negroes is more than 14 years old. It Is suspected that the attempt was made, not out of inten- tions of robbery or revenge, but from pure boyish mischief The two Will be given a hearing before Justice B. c. Young on March 30, until which time they will remain locked in jail, unable to make bond.
 The attempt to wreck the Louisville and Nashville passenger train was frus- trated by two flagmen, who discovered an obstacle of bent and twisted spikes upon the rails just as the approach to the 100-foot span of Pintlala Creek bridge, on the evening of March 3. The spikes had been driven into the cross ties and bent over and across the rail. They were driven so thick and the ob- stacle was thus made so large and firm that swiftly moving engine, If striking thereon would have inevitably been hurled from the track.
 The trainmen clared the track just before the train from Mobile arrived at Pintlala Creek bridge.
 The next evening, March 4. the ob- struction was discovered again at about the time for the arrival of the train from Mobile. Again the track was cleared, the train passed In safety, but the section hands returned to find cross ties piled across the track, evi- dently meant for the southbound train.
 The organized search by the officers started at that moment. Special rail- road detectives were stationed to pa- trol the threatened section of the track. and the county officers worked also. The patrol was vigilant upon the next evening but no further attempt was made, though one of the watchers spied man skulking in the brush that lines the track near the creek and shot into the undergrowth several times with his rife. A chase was made. but without result.
 Since March 4 a quiet search has been undertaken and several clues followed The efforts of the officers resulted on yesterday in the arrest of Hill and Hayes.
 The boys profess their innocence, and declare they were in other regions upon the day of the attempt

 Immediately after the granting of the charter to drive the river the part ners had offered them an opportunity of acquiring about 3O.OO0oOO feet of timber remaining from Morrison S Daly's original holdings. Orde finally completed the purchase on long time notes. Below the booms they erected a mill. The following winter Orde spent in the woods. By spring he had b~nFe' ~' eco HNn f~@t

Orde thought that a steam barge could be built powerful enough not only to car " its own hold and deck loads. but to tow after it the two schooners. New mark agreed with him. Thus the firm went into the carrying trade. The most important acquisition was that of the northern peninsula timber. Most operators called the white pine along and back from the river mex haustible But Orde saw the time not far distant when the world would be compelled to look elsewhere for its lumber. and he turned his eyes to the almost unknown north. After long investigation he purchased 300Oo0.OO0 feet. This was to be paid for mostly by the firms notes, secured by Its oth- CT property.
