An attempt to wreck a passenge r
and express train on the Norfolk and
Western Railway about two miles
from White Post, Clarke county, Va,
last evening was foiled, when Track
Foreman E. J. Lowe found hidden
under one of the rails several pounds
of dynamite, so placed as to explode
when the train, which was due in
! about half an hour, passed over it.
After removing the dynamite, Mr..
Lowe Immediately reported the find
ing of the explosive to Agent J. M.
Bowers, who Immediately Sent the
information to the company's head
quarters at Roanoke, who have sent
secret service men to the scene.
The only theory that is advanced
as 10 the motive of the crime is that it
was done with the intention of wreck
ing the train for the purpose of rob-
berry. A large amount Jof money is
known to have been in the express
safe. A diligent search is being made
to locate the guilty person or per-
sons.
