Bares Dynamite.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SPARKS, New, November "a
watchman guarding the railroad right
of-way ahead of President Hoover's spe-
cial train, bearing him home to Palo
Alto, Calf, to vote, was attacked and
injured last night and % sticks of dyna-
mite were found near the roadbed, A. A..
Lowe, Southern Pacific division in
spectcr, revealed when the train ar
rived here today.
An mconflrmed report given out by
Sheriff F. j. Harris of Elko, New, that
another guard had been shot and killed
and one of the attackers captured was
denied by Lowe.
miles west of Palisade, New, at an I'M
der-pass, where the Southern Pacific
tracks are crossed by the Western Pa
cific.
The injured watchman, Paul E. Fish,
reported to him, Lowe said, that he
heard a noise on the trestle above him
and that he went up to investigate"
Attacked on TreStle.
Fish said he was attacked by a colored
man and white man and stabbed and
shot in the hand
The inspector said four shots were
fired by the watchman in frightening
away his attackers.
After driving the attackers into the
blackness of the sage-covered hills along
the right which at that point
twists tortuously through the Humboldt
River Canyon, crossing and recrossing
the river, Fish said he searched the
tracks and found two sticks of dyna-
mite tied together, but without percus-
sion caps or fuse, railroad officials said.
Bleeding profusely, but not seriously
wounded, Fish tagged down the pilot
train, that ran as a safeguard ahead of
the Presidents special. Railroad police
and secret service men from the pilot
train searched the roadbed and vicinity.
Twenty additional sticks of dynamite
in sack were found along the West
ern Pacific right-of-way, above and 400
feet from the rails upon which the spe-
cial train was running.
Lowe said there was no indication
that any attempt had been made to
tamper with the rails or to dynamite
the roadbed or the Presidents train,
but was unable to explain the presence
of the explosive.
Delayed 40 Minutes.
The special train was delayed 40 min
utes while railroad police and special
agents aboard the pilot train searched
the right of way and country nearby
for trace of the two men described by
Fish, Lowe said.
John F. Chester, Associated Press
staff correspondent accompanying the
President, said none aboard the special
knew of the attack on the watchman
and that Secret Service agents aboard
said they knew nothing Of the dyna-
mite being found.
Fish, Southern Pacific officials said,
was taken to Carlin, New, on a gasoline
speeder after the train continued on
toward California. His condition was
not serious, they said
Sheriff Harris said he had sent a
deputy from Elko to learn details OF
the attack, but had heard nothing from
| him.
When the train arrived here it was
still 20 minutes behind schedule and
stopped only long enough to change
engines for the run up the Truckee
River to cross the Sierra Nevada Noun
| tains through Donner Pass and into
California.

Shaw made the trip over on an A A plane bringing fat clean up along. After transacting his business in Nome he will return home.

COLONEL MC NE|DER
 HAS b|C TASK MAKE
 VETS FORGET CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, Sept, 3, -Col. Hanford McNeider, minister to Can- ada and former National Comman- der of the merican Legion, who has turned in his resignation to President Hoover, says that he de- sires to return to private life.
 It is understood that McNeider'S resignation was prompted by his desire to reconcile World War Vet erans, who have become disgusted with the Hoover Administration be- cause of their failure to secure inn mediate payment of the bonus. McNeider will attempt to have the veterans return to the fold and for get their grievances against the Republican administration. He will set up headquarters in Chicago.
 McNeider at one time was a strong advocate for the payment of the bonus but he will now have the task of trying to talk them out of the bonus, at least for a while. He intends to go to Portland for the American Legion Convention there
