AUBURN.

What came near being a serious ac-
cdent occurred just above here yester-
day. Two young men who would not
give their names undertook the some
what perilous task of driving through
the "cut" that extends from the State
Institutions to a point just above Pom
tlac village. This cut is very narrow as
yet although at some future time 1t Is
to he widened into a street.
The two men were carelessly driving
along when the Riverpoint vestbule
car No. 651 in charge OF Conductor Cor
NELL swung around a corner not over
twenty-five yards away. One of the
two men jumped to lead the horse
which shied at the first sight of the
car. AT the same time the motorman
applied the brakes stopping the car
within three feet of the horse. After
considerable trouble they succeeded in
getting the horse and wagon to spot
where the car could pass the team and
continue. The young men We've
taught lesson that they will probably
heed for had they proceeded ten feet
further a disastrous collision could not
have been averted.
A new high board fence has been
built around the State Institutions on
the westerly side.

were half a dozen men on ground and
about 80 pickers at work on the second

trouble: no smoke was seen and there
was no odor of fire.
Some OF the men had just come out
of the large door in the center of the
Union street building and stood talking
for a few seconds and thenNtheir atten-

smoke which came like a big. dense and
black cloud out of the windows of the

and killed him. Gallagher was sup

Tested Color was given TO that yarn by
a constable, named Cook, who after a
brief sit to Providence returned home
and said that he met Gallagher on Mar
ket square. talked with him and refus-
ed his invitation TO take a drink; also
that he. Cook, saw and conversed with
Detective Parker about the presence
here of the murderer
Mr. Parker Indignantly repudaated
that assertion. telling Chief Baker that
he never saw or heard of Cook.
Chief Baker sent request to Cook to
call upon him, and this the constable
did
To Chief Baker he said that ne did
not know Detective Parker nor any
other detective in this city. and that
the man whom he took to be Gallagher
was a motorman on one of the street
cars, who looked like him and whom he
still believed TO be the much wanted
assassin.
