| The Outrage on the
South-Western Railroad |
| R. R. Cuyler,
Esq. President of this road, offers a reward of $1,000 for proof to
convict the person or persons who removed a bar of iron from the
South-Western Railroad track on the 9th inst., between the 62d and 63d
mile posts, near Sweet Water Creek, by which train was thrown off the
track, and the lives of passengers endangered. |
| We hope this
reward will secure the purpose for which it was offered, and that the
scoundrel who did the fiendish act will be caught and properly dealt
with. We learn that a suspicious white or light colored man has been
seen lurking about the neighborhood before and since the 9th, of whom or
his business no one knows anything. He has as a companion a dog, which
was seen on the track only an hour or so before the late casualty, and
made a ferocious assault on some ladies that were passing the spot. |
