Tramps Blamed for Placing OBJ
structions on Rutland Rail-
road near Rendezvous.
MOTIVE FOR ACTS UNKNOWN
Locomotive and Three Cars
Jump the Rails near Wal
iingfOrd and Traffic
Is Tied Up.

Rutland, June 6-Rold attempts were
made, probably by tramps, before day
light this morning to wreck both the
north and southbound Rutland railroad
sleeper trains over the Bennington di-
vision, al "A point near some woods, a
great hobo" rendezvous, two miles
south of this city. The trains run about
an hour apart. Three men are held on
suspicion by Special Railroad Policeman
John w. Brislin of this city, The pur-
pose of the dastardly acts, which did
not result in any real damage to road
bed or rolling stock, nor injury to a
human being, Is not known
The southbound train, which is due to
leave this city at 1855 o'clock, was the
first over the line. The LOCOMOTIVES, while
running at high speed. struck five wooden
ties, which were piled on the rails at a
point where the track is built up 10 feet
above the level Of the surrounding fields.
The ties had been left near the track by
section men. Some Of the ties We're
thrown 30 feet by the impact of the To-
motive but the jar to the train was not
great, passengers say.
Officials of the railroad had not yet
reached the scene of the attempted
wreck when the northbound train, due
in Rutland at 2:3O o'clock, came along
and struck a handcar, heavily loaded with
tools. which the wreckers had secured
by reaking into the car house in this
city. having run it to the scene. The
car was demolished by the crash. AS
soon as the train reached the station
here officer Brislin WAS summoned and
he went to the spot. Lying in a field,
just over the fence from where the wreck
ers made the two attempts, Mr.. Brislin
found two Polanders who could not speak
English. They had a bottle of liquor
but were not drunk. Walking the track,
the officer met a young tramp, who
himself.
Mr.. Brislin brought the foreigners to the
city jail and gave a description Of the
third man to a detective who was in the
city for circus day. This officer went to
the spot and found his man still hanging
about the vicinity. Although tramps have
for years made the woods a resort, the
railroad has never before had any trouble
with them. a cattle train was wrecked
near the spot 20 years ago.
The northbound morning passenger train
from Bennington and Troy, due in this
city at 1910 a. m. also had a mishap to-
day, the locomotive and three cars leav-
ing the rails about two miles south Of
Wallingford. No one was hurt but traffic
was tied up for several hours. passengers
being transferred around the wreck.
Spreading rails probably caused the trou-

A Trivial Mistake

A Kansas editor says that the
most embarrassing typographical mis-
take that ever occurred in his ex-
perience was in connection with a
marriage notice. The bridegroom
was a man by the name of Gunn,
whose father was a leading citizen.
The editor wanted to give the
young couple a good send off, but
turned in the copy and trusted to
drunken printer and a drunken
proof reader to see that it got into
the paper all right. The next morn
ing the announcement was headed;
"Gun-smith, the girls name was
Smith. The notice went on to
say that the blushing bride was
tasteful'y arrayed in dress OF
white mule instead of white null
and she carried large red NOSE" /"
He had written in regard to the
groom that he was the "weM liked
son of A. Gum" The compositor
set it; "the groom was wall eyed
son of a gun" The editor fired
both the compositor and proof read
er but just the same he has never
been able to square it either with
the bride or groom or the old man

RULED OFF

In session in Des Moines last Sat

Atlantic had but two champions at

Speeding In Extra

1t is matter of common oserya-
tion that there is too much fast
driving in Extra, also that it is on
the increase.
The speed limit is dead and for
gotten. 1t is rare thing to see
1t observed if the roads will permit
of violating it.
This is not the point, however
Life is less safe than is should be,
owing to the recklessness of people,
who do not mean to hurt anybody.
They are certain to do so ANYWAY
sooner or later. 1t seems to be on
ly question of time when some
bad accident will come.
Drivers really ought to have
higher consideration, of course than
the laws governing speed. They
should see to it that, so far al
they are concerned, the life and
safety Of others shall not be imper-
lied by their carelesness. Every
driver should seek to be, first of all
a safe driver; and if he can not
train himself to be this, he should
voluntarily quit driving. This
speeding is becoming bad business;
already this spring two or three
bad accidents have been narrowly
averted. Certainly there are some
more on the way.

Our band boys are practicing reg

quite an improvement noticed each
time they meet. Mr.. Petersen, the

so that the young men readily COM

They hope to- be able to furnish
music for street concerts soon. and
all we want by the Fourth of July.
We hope the proper encouragement
will be given the boys and that
they will not attack grade of
music fit for amateurs, but pound
at grade that they can handle.
