Mir Murricar hitched the carriage to his team and brought the whole business to Joseph Me. Aulift's stable on Bank street. Inquiries along the way and at police headquarters failed to throw any light on who owns the team or what became of the man and horse It IS possible that the animal may have started to run, upset the team, broke loose and was followed down the bye road by the driver. But why the traces should be cut Is something no one seems to under. stand. It was learned this afternoon that the horse and carriage belong to ( Southington hveryman. The rig was hired by a man in that town to drive hi, wife and family to Naugatuck Aftel leaving his family he started for home by way of Waterbury and stopped here fol st some time then started for Southluetor and lost his way. He reached home abou 10 o'clock last night. but could give no ac count of what became of the horse anC wagon.
