Monday night some unknown person
or peraopa^got aboard the locomotive
ol the Seaboard, opened the. throttle
and turned It looee. The engine
spedptray up the track, but on ac
count of the boiler being full of water
and the Are be Inn banked for the
night only a email ?mount of steam
was available and It stopped about
half war betweiv here and Fran 1^In
ton. As yet no clue has been gotten
as to /who the parties were and It is
not. kpown whether they remained
on the engine to Its destination or
not. The engine was caught by Mr.
H. S. Yates who manipulated the ma
chinery and brought it back to Mr.
Raefleld's the section foreman of this
road and Kev. J. F. Mltchiner, having
been telephoned to from Frankllnton
finding the engine stopped come on to
Louisburg on his automobile after
the flreman. and the engineer who
brought it back to town. Several of
our people heard the engine leave but
none euppected what was up and
were surprised the next morning on
learning the Tacts. No damage, how
ever was done. ,
It is to be hoped 'the authorities
can capture the perpetrators and
deal with them as their act was a
most dangerous one, not only to prop
erty but to human life and terrible
results were only defeated by the
condition the engine was In when
left by the employees that nlrtit af
ter returning from the Tegular ahoo
fiy trip from Frankllnton.
