Attempt To Wreck A Train

ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN

Was Made on the American Express Yesterday

THREE MILES FROM HERE

Plan Failed and Detectives are Now Working on the Case

A brief telegram to Sheriff Gillen, last evening, brought information that some one had attempted, last Thursday, to wreck the 2:30 express over the Michigan Central at a place about two miles this side of Geddes station. A quantity of fish plates had been piled upon the rails but the fast train dashed through without damage. A slower train would probably have been derailed, This morning Sheriff Gillen and Detective Rosier, of the Michigan Central, went to the scene but could find no clue to the perpetrators. Mr. Rosier has not given up the chase and hopes to bring somebody who is responsible to justice. The fish plates were placed on the track after the 1:39 went through and before the American express.
