Train wreck plots and thefts in Texas county fair town
A sprawling 1910s Texas page reports failed wrecking attempts near Courtney and a Sunday excursion special saved by cautious rail staff. The item notes a separate saddle theft wave in Bron tuum with arrests, plus a Memphis style band concert postponed then held. It also covers a fatality near Austin, a Nordica security suit in New York, and local court actions, guardianship filings, and a Confederate veteran’s death in Navasota.
