London, Mar. 4.
A signal man, who was shot at by one of four men this morning, is believed to have prevented an attempt to blow up the bridge carrying the Metropolitan railway line.
The signal man saw four men scale ing a stone-wall and when he followed them, one nian is said to have fired at him with a revolver. His cout collar was cut by a bullet. The mei, me of whom was seen carrying a mall box, then jumped down the embankment, hurried to a motor-car parked underneath the bridge and dashed away.—Reuter,
