In the meantime the boys, disap-
pointed because of their failure to
see a real train wreck after their
first attempt, secured some long an
gle bars and the long rods Of a box
car and stretched them across the
tracks. The section foreman coming
along the track in the evening in his
motor car struck the bars, throwing
the car into the ditch and injuring
the foreman slightly. He removed
the bars before the train arrived.
Investigation led to the arrest OF
the lads by the Sanborn county of
~ficials. who secured a confession
from them.
