Bricks Scattered On
Walks Causes Falls

The thoughtless acts of young men
and boys have been the cause lately
Of several ugly falls sustained by Fair.
mont citizens, to say nothing OF skuffed
shoes and stubbed toes. Since the
bricks for the new country road paw
ing have been piled along the streets,
It has become a habit for many pass.
ersby to scatter the bricks along the
sidewalks and in the streets. The
former practice, however, has result.
ed in the most Of the accidents. since
at night the shadow from the pile OF
bricks hides the scattered bricks. and
have resulted in many tripping and
falling. 1t is not thought that the
work was malicious but merely
thoughtlessness and would no doubt
be stopped IL brought to the attention
OF the perpetrators. Besides the in.
convenience to pedestrians, the bricks
are being more or less mutilated by
throwing them against the hard pave.

SEVEN BULLION
CARS DERAILED
Railroad Men Declare Mexi-
can Deliberately Threw
Switch, Causing Wreck.

A bullion train, made up Of seven
Rational railways of Mexico cars, was
vrecked Monday afternoon while cross
ne Santa Fe street near the santa re
railway station The wreck was caused
by some person throwing the switch,
in the opinion Of railroad men,
The cars had just been brought from
Juarez and were being run to the santa
Re station by a switch engine. The en-
CINE and two cars had crossed the street
when the switch was thrown This
threw the remaining cars onto another
trac' One car made the jump, though
derailed, while the second one was al
most snapped in two. The two follow
ing cars were also derailed. tearing up
rails and ties The trucks of one OF the
cars plOwed through the brick paving,
and the switch was smashed
Railroad men state that it was i'm
possible for the switch TO be thrown
unless deliberately done so. Persons
who witnessed the wreck stated that a
Mexican had been seen standing near
the switch for some time before the
train passed. One theory advanced is
that the train was wrecked in order 10
delay the shipment of the bullion
All OF the cars with the exception Of
the one that was smashed and one from
which the trucks were torn. were soon
returned to the rails and taken to the
customs warehouse
