An attempt was made to wreck the
California overland train passing the
Hillsboro station last Tuesday night,
says the Hillsboro Independent. The
keyi)olt of the switch between the Cli
max mill and the station was broken,
and the switch set so that the train go
ing west would sidetrack, but the train
going east would pitch over the embank
ment. Luckily a west bound train was
the first to approach. The engineer was
acquainted with the station and side
tracks, so that when his locomotive took
the siding, he knew something was
wrong, and at once threw his lever over.
The heavy passenger train plunged on,
but was under control and stopped be
fore the open switch at the west end of
the sidetrack was reached.—Oregonian.
