Blow Up Tw Bridges.

Two bridges on the' Chicago and Southweastern railroad, one sixty feet long and twenty feet high, near Crawfordsville, Ind., were dynamited and destroyed by farmers. The company’s roadbed across Wesley Grantham's farm has been leveled with plows, and numerous Wagonloads of its rails have been removed, carted three miles from the right of way and are now piled up behind a schoolhouse. Traffic on the road is entirely suspended, and cannot be resumed for at least a week — the length of time it will require to condemn a right of way across the farm and repair the damage that has been done.
