Mr. James Greases, conductor of the G.

from being snot while passing Wilson's
siding, three naile,s this side, of Cones

Greaves custom to ascertain at the
different points along the line on the
up trip the number of cars to be take
on the down trip in the moreing, and
when passing'. Wilson s siding he was
lookleg out of the closed windove
counting the ears when he heard the
report of a rifle and the frame of the
so.sh throngn which he , was looking
crashed in. On examination it was
found that the bullet passed through
thee fraTae and out of an" open window
en the °thee side of the eoach, passing
within a fer inches off the condleotor'e
head. Everything pointe to it being
a deliberate attempt on Me, Greaves'

train whom ,the conductor compell-
ed to pay hes fare when stealing a ride
