Following fast train, local comes to an obstruction. A dastardly attempt to wreck the Pendleton-Portland passenger train was made .yesterday afternoon, one mile east of.Quinton station, of 11 miles west of Pendleton, says the E. O. It Is' supposed that tramps ej ected from train No. 1, which had passed that point 30 minutes before, are responsible for the attempt to get even on the trainmen by destroy ing the property of the company and taking the lives of other trainmen and innocent passengers. Fifteen feet of the heaviest rail road steel used on the track had been placed on the track and but for the fact that the locomotive which was. drawing the train happened to be one with a low pilot, the train would certainly have been wrecked and Uvea undoubtedly lost. As It was the pilot caught the obstruction and shoved it along tn the track for 400 feet before the train was stopped. The rate of speed at which the train was traveling and the effect that, a sudden wreck would, have had can U4UO iW fibVUi Train No. 1, westbound, passed this spot a half hour, before and the two tramps who were ejected there are supposed to have been . the ones who placed the rail cn the track.- The train was delayed . nearly half an hour while a search was made for the supposed wreckers , and detec tives were Immediately.' dispatched from The Dalles to take , up the trail. As the line is being watched In ev ery direction It is believed .that the tramps will be taken into ' custody today. - ' ; ' '.'..-'(?' ..'I Sores BAER MERCANTILE CO. AND WEIL TO RESUME. M.

Some of the lo cal fans have been considering : the baseball outlook here for' the last few weeks. "I have been talking lately to' sev eral people,"- said one of the leading bugs today, w and the prospects are bright in fact exceedingly rosy, for a team this year that would be strong er than any ever organised here in former years. ?
