Railroad Officials Find Switch Tampered With. Freight Train Is Derailed. An Attempt, it is belie-ved, to wreck a solid I hilltnan rassenger train on the Pennsylvania line, due in Indiana Harbor at r M vas frustrat,.d iHi.t Thursday evening when an east bound freight tia'n was derailed near the I'uff.ngton plant of tho Universal Portland Cement company. The switch at this point was found to have been tampered with. Had th" fast running Xo. EM struck the open switch a di wis tor would have resulted, with the loss of many lives. Fortunately the cr.-w of tho freight train escaped injury. PAST Or TK.AX7T OPT &AJLS The freight was running cast at aboxit 7:40 in tho evening when suddenly the engine gave a lurch, and pounded Ht.d jolted as It leaped from the rails and ground along the ties snd gravel. The engineer applied the brakes end brought the long train to a stop before a serious disaster cou! 1 result. The nose of the engine was burled deep in the gravel c.f the road b.l. INTENDED FOB TXTXR An investigation wo- mndo immediately by the general road foreman of tn railroad, which disclosed that srmn unseruptilous person or persons had thrown the switch In what mut have been a dastardly attempt to derail 'ho Pennsylvania, byer. This train is a fast running limited, and a h-irrib1- disaster would undoubtedly ha" r'iiltol had th dlspicable act not been revealed. ' WTREC1TSK F BOM C33CAOO A wrecker and derrick were called from Chicago nil arrived nt the sr-n-of th derail mont soon after !t id occurred. Tiie trr-ck was immediately cleared and the freigiit was ab'e to precede In a few hours. A determined effort to get nf tha bottom of th nffatr Is being made by the railroad officials. This sort of dirty vrork has been th causo of n nrj" number of terrible accidents resul'ing in the loss of many 11vs. Several b.-oj wrecks from the sarre cause have been narrowiv averted in the same n ay.

Hoth "f the passengers were asleep rind upon examination, tho car m3 found to hold IS cases -f beer. Tho men were taken to tho station and he'd pending a test of the alcoholic co7irent of the confiscated brew. it the report came back from the city elo-mist it rend "no kick." Officers at the station are wondering if the sample ,-as not one of a. fe-.y bottb'? of kickless bey-r. They think that most of th. stutf was pretty "near." Ope of h" reasons for this belief is that the men are transporting the stuff a Torre Haute, which is quite a long trip for temperance sttiff. GOMPERS, 71, WEDS 38-Y"EAR-OLD BRIDE I INTtNSTtONAl.
