 A CLUE
 < Stony Creek, Oct. 17-The officers who are working in the interests of the Con- ' solidated railroad in an effort to run down the miscreants who started an engine wild near here several weeks ago have, it is said, obtained a clue to the guilty parties. It will be remembered that some one about a month ago board ed an engine which was standing near here, fired it up and ran it back and forth through the patch of woods to the east of Stony Creek. It jumped the track and landed in the meadow. Aside from the practical tearing to pieces of the locomotive, no other damage was done. Officers were set to work on the case and have been at work ever since Suspicion has been attracted to several well known young men, who reside not far from Guilford. The clue is being run down and it is possible that arrests may follow soon
