Two mexicans, Satora Gonzales and
Refulgio Sovala, two section hands on
the T. & M. between Endee and Glen
rio, attempted to wreck train No. AZ,
east-bound passenger Friday morn
ing. Three ties were placed on the
track, one near Endee, one near Glen
rio and one about half way between,
so it is stated by witnesses.
The east-bound passenger was run
ming slowly as it pulled out Of Endee
and had not gained much headway
when the engineer saw something on
the track. He stopped the train a
few yards away from the object and
found it to be tie wired to the track
Removing this he continued eastward
removing the other ties which were
tied to the track. He reported same TO
railroad special agents and they locat-
ed the guilty parties. Gonzales was
arrested but Sovala got away and is
still at large.
Gonzales was brought to Tucumcari
where he was given preliminary trial
before Judge Hunter. He confessed
his guilt and said Sovala threatened
to kill him if he didn't put the tie on
the track. He said he put the ont
on closest to Endee. The reason given
for attempting to wreck the train was
to get even with the section boss who
had made them mad
