power enterprises and their willing
ness to again assist in financing pro-
, jects with which Mr.. Cooper is con-
inected speaks well for his ability and
indicates their general faith in such

"A dispatch from Galesburg says:
Detective Snyder of the Burlington,
has under surveillance a man whom he
, suspects of the attempt to wreck

suspicion is a resident of one of the
towns between Elmwood and Peoria
who had been in Peoria and on a
spree 1t is said that he admits that
he placed the ties on the track, but
can give no accurate account of how
he happened to do it or of any of the
circumstances. He states that he had
| mo knowledge of how he got home
from Peoria, but admits memory OF
placing the obstruction on the track
He was in beastly state of intoxi
cation when discovered by the officers
: and it is possible that his magma
! ton is playing part in the admission
5 of the crime.
