wagon owned by j. A. Foster, ran away
on Orange street today, but fortunately
no one was injured. The wagon was be-
ing loaded with maou-e from the
sta ole OF Franklin Brothers, snd the
horses started on a mad rush throug h
Orange to Westminster street. A
citizen saw the team before ii reached
Wey boss ct street and shouted TO pedes-
trians and motormen to hold up. This
gave the team a clear road across Wey-
bosset street. On the left hand side OF
Orange street, between Weybosset ard
Westminster street stood light carriage
and the team just cleared II.
Before the team reached Westminster
street man stopped an electric car
which was near the corner and the team
passed just in front of the car and into
the side walk on the north side OF the
street. Here both of the wheels on the
off side of the wagon broke down and
caused both horses to be thrown. They
were then secured.

Every thread of evidence has been care

on lonely West Mountain was visited by
hundreds yesterday. Mrs. McCloud was
last seen alive at o'clock Friday even
ing by Frank s. Tatrean, local carpen-

tower strike at the time, and as Frank
Turton, aged II, and little Alberta, the
daughter of the dead woman, passed
along the road by the scene of the mur-
der about 1880, it seoms that the murder
vas done in this half hour. The body
was found about 20 feet from the road,
and the chances are that the murderer
stood behind q large tree by the road
side and seized and strangled his victim
as she passed. That the assailant had
another motive than robbery now seems
probable. The officers believe the crime
was committed by some one living in the
town, ana will offer reward OF $500 for
