It so happened the obstruc tion was hit by a slow moving freight train and the impact was not great enough to cause derailment, consequently there were no serious results. It is presumed the Inten tion was to wreck one of the pas senger trains and had a passenger train ran into it instead of the freight, it might havo resulted In a serious fatality. Tusco claims he is entirely Innocent. Mr. and Mrs. James Lindsay, Sr., of Keen, celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary at their home on Sunday last.
