What appears to bo an attempt to wreak a similar fato on tho northbound Oregon Short Lino train that bofclt tho Burlington train last week, was thwarted on Sunday by a lono foot passenger, John Holan, who was walking to Melrose from tho north. At a point about six miles this sldo of that place ho saw a place whero dynamlto ahd been planted In a small excavation under tho rati, whero It would probably havo thrown tiro train into tho rivor if It had oxplodcd. Not daring to handlo tho explosive, Holan throw it into tho river nnd hastened to notify the Molroso station agent. Whon tho northbound train arrived it was hold back until n thorough Investigation Inves-tigation could bo mado. Tho offlcorsi in Butto aro inclined to bcllovo that this may havo been somo of tho powder pow-der which was stolen recently from tho Wcstcrlnken & Peterson mlno. Tho quantity would havo been enough to repeat tho outrago of Friday night on the Burlington trnln on tho North-em North-em Pacific tracks, which tho Burlington Burling-ton uses. |
