on having fully explained the mystery

No stone has been left unturned
since the accident and evidence was
received warranting the arrest Of Har-
nv Lord, Is years old. He was given
a hearing Friday night before Justice
Williams, and after the evidence had
been given the boy confessed.
He was passing the switch few
minutes before the express was due,
and seeing the ball and lever wondered
if he could throw them over. lie did
SO three times, leaving the switch lead
ing to the side track; then he went
home, not realizing the danger. Ht
returned after the first alarm was
sounded for the cars burning from the
wreck and stayed in the wrecked en-
CINE all night. He has already spent
a long time in the state industrial
school. The justice held him for the
September grand jury and he got bal
in the sum of $4,000.
The penalty for tampering with
switches in this state is from two tC
ten years imprisonment in the states

Engineer Brennan, who was injured
bv the accident, is not improving rap
idly. and is still confined to his bed al
his home in Windsor. Strict instruc'

over the bluff on the Notch road and
the horse was dead and the man miss
ing.
The team was seen going toward
the Notch about dark Saturday night.
When found, the horse was separate
from the buggy and showed by knife
slashes in the harness that it was cut
free after going over the first bank but
after wandering around awhile it had
fallen over another bank and lodged
IN tree notch, breaking its neck.
W. M. Smith was notified and went
after the buggy and some 80 or more
men have been searching the woods
for some trace Of the man, who is de-
scribed as being thickset, with sandy
beard of about three weeks growth.
The buggy was made in Watertown,
