Trail Carrying Corn For Allies is Wrecked.

Mystery surrounds the plunging from the track, several miles east of Gary Thursday noon of a fast Baltimore A Ohio freight train laden with corn, consigned to New York, whence it was to he shipped to the l nations at war in Europe. The mishap was kept a secret until a squadron. of railroad detectives were 1 and made an investigation. The Inin buckled m the middle and tore up several hundred yards of track. Operators and other employes were called in and more than 10 men ware called to repair the damage and clean up the debris. Since the corn was consigned to warring nations it led to the belief that an attempt was probably made to wreck the train.
