i ATTEMPT TO WREC K VICTOR-I V BSIB6E.MONTREAL, Feb. 5.What is believed to have been an attempt to wreck Victoria Bridge was frustrated by men of a composite battalion on guard shortly before five o’clock this morning. Several shots were fired, when the figure of a man was seen creeping over the ice towards the bridge. A searchlight on the city side picked him out some distance from the stone piers, and as it was evident he had no right to be in such place at such and hour, one of the guards opened fire. In a twinkling other guards were turned out. Several more shots were fired, but the man escaped.
