FLEMINGToN. n. j.. Oct. 5.-High Bridge. this
county, Is excited over what seems to be a
murder. Four strangers have been stopping
in the village for several days drinking and
having what is called good time. One OF the
four was found dead to-day at the side of the
tracks OF the Central Railroad. His neck was
broken. and there are apparently two bullet
holes In the back OF his head. The other three
men had disappeared before the body was
found.
Later In the day one of the three. who has a
wooden leg. WAS collared not far from the
town. and because OF his strange actions and
conflicting stories is held in custody. He an
peared to be shocked when he heard Of his
companion's death. and said he must have
been killed by the cars. He declared no mad
not seen the dead man since morning. MANY
who heard him contradicted this statement
rs they were positiv We they had seen the party
together at o'clock.
From this time on the arrested man refused
to talk Before that he had said the dead

was found not cent was upon It. The Sheriff
OF this county was summoned and will make
n Thorough investigation. No clue can be had
OF the other two men. 1t is presumed by
many that because the prisoner had a wooden
leg he was unable to mako his escape with
his companions.
