sweater worn by the lad prevented Sc
rious wounds.
station Agent Hart OF the New Eng
land depot. has been missing since Fri
day His relatives and friends have no
clue to his whereabouts. He went to
collect freight bills from various par
ties, but although he presented and left
the bills he collected no money, and
took none with him. His books are APP
parently all right. 1t is thought that
too close application tv business pro-
duced mental ALTERATION.
A year ago he suffered from great
pains in his head. for which the ply
sicians could assign no cause, and 1t is
feared that he Is now suffering from
similar alment. He could have col
lected large amount of money had he
been SO disposed.
