U.R) A new I effort was made today to cut off ! communications to the strike- j torn Feather Rjver Pine mills when a section of company-owned railroad was set afire. Sheriff Larry Gillick said a small piece of the railroad three miles from a bridge across the south fork of Feather river was burned Tuesday night. Gillick said the company had planned to send an engine and crane down the track today and that if the burned out section had, not been discovered the train might have been derailed.
