 TRIED TO WRECK TRAIN

TUCSON. March 5-No arrests had been made up to an early hour this morning in connection with an unsuccessful attempt to wreck the Golden State Limited westbound train of the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad four miles east of Tucson Friday morning shortly after mid night.
 Police and railroad officials are securing Pima county for two sus poets whose trail was found yester- day noon by bloodhounds from the office of Sheriff Rye Miles.
 The scene of the attempted wreck was two miles east of Aldona and a mile and half east of the fair grounds The wreckers, who eyi- dently were well equipped with spe- cial tools, had recovered two angle bars and the spikes from three ties, as we'll as the nuts and bolts at a rail junction. The bars and spikes were laid alongside the joint, making a break in the rail foot long The Colleen State Limited. speed. { obstruction at a rate of 45 miles an hour. at 12:10 yesterday morning The engine jared perilously. but set. tied back on the rails and pulled the ! train across safely.
 At 3 o'clock in the morning a ] freight also passed safely The first train had crushed the bars so that they were less of an obstruction. No theory as to the motive for the | ties. unless robbery be ascribed There had been no labor troubles and no entrainment of soldiers from the border was due over this line.

THE BAND PLAYED 0N-BUT
ONLY FIVE WERE LEFT

PARIS, April 27-Almost dali re-
ports of manifold feats of heroism by
men who fight have almost completely
overshadowed the heroism of the men
who battle solely with musical instru-
ments as doggedly as their comrades Of
the bayonet-
Here is true story OF the 4oth
French Infantry band, which. before
the war, used to play. summer after
noon concerts in Paris. The band, COM
posed of fifteen musicians under Band
master Laty. never ceased to play
though ten were killed or wounded be-
fore the troops conquered the town OF
yauouois. Advancing with the regi-
ment, Laty was beating time for the
.Marseillaise" when the first bandsman
fell. Immediately afterward another
was wounded but be continued to play
where he fell. Bullets were flying ev-
erywhere as the band advanced.
With the "Marseillaise" half played
the casualties numbered four, the alto
and flute placed out of action by an
exploding shell. Soon the regiment

latter shook him off and marched on

a height in the town. The noise was
terrific but the remnant of the band
forged ahead without break in the
music. Blanchard, the big drummer,
was the next to drop. The same bullet
wounded another flute player. The
troops were now engaged in hand to
hand fighting with the Germans in the
streets of Vaquois.
The bandmaster signalled his remain
ing men for the "Marseillaise." 1t
came promptly though not so loud and
strong as on the first occasion. Pre-
vost, first trombone player dropped his
instrument when a shell splinter shat
tered his hand. Menuier. second trob-

reached place where it came under
heavy enfilading fire. Another bands
man was shot through the heart.
When the day was won there remain
ed but five of the heroic bandsmen who
had escaped intact. One of these was
Bandmaster Laty who had continued to
beat time with his white gloves
throughout the entire engagement. Ey-
cry instrument was damaged by bullets
or shrapnel A saxaphone was torn
from the hands of its player by
shrapnel splinter.
The foregoing is why the general
orders few days ago said that the
"46th Infantry Band played under the
enemy's fire to encourage the attack
ing troops in spite of heavy bonn
bardment."
