9STRONG'S MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENT.
I. There is something inexplicab.e about
Henry Strong's misfortune on the Sea-
BOARD road. His statement does not
tally at all with those of the conductors
and other road employees. Both Passen-
ger Conductor Kirkland and Pullman
conductor Sturtevant disclam any
sEinpwledge of the affair. They deny ever
having seen such person. The theory Is
advanced that Strong was on the rear

Z train was rounding n curve. The road
officials are looking into the matter.

afternoon he stuck to his original story
that he was showed off the train. He
says he entered the rear of the sleeper

told him he couldn't ride on that train
without a ticket. He was evidently
trying to beat ride, though he says
his ticket was lost
