He aWibed the strength of the

U ADirty Dastardly Deed.

oottnd tplnpls o. Iiy,-wa9 approach:
ing ineyara jimixs oi oranam, xne
engine came in contact with .a cross
tie maliciously placed on the track
by some Uuknownlscoundrel. For
tunately when the engine struck te
obstruction, it turned thetie around
in such a manner as to 'prevent-the
throwing of the engine from tne rails
it became lodged under the machine
and was carried several .yards before
the train Was thought to a stop and
the piece of timber removed. It
was a narrow escape and bad the
purpose of the miscreant been car
ried out great damage might have
bee a done and perhaps many lives
lost. There is no clue, so far as we
have,beeri able ... to Jearn, who the
culprit is that committed the dirty
