arising frou ,he late war, the following
is told by the New York Commercial

over his shoulder he carried iwo guns,
tied together with twine. He was
smoking a cigar, and kept up con
stant stream of bantering remarks in
reckless way.
There's our train, boys" he said, as
his company crossed the platform and
clam bered down the sandy slope toward
the siding, Don't you see the sign?
Improved Stable Cars Well, thank
goodness, we're going the other way
this time"
When the men halted beside the cars
a bystander said affably to this man:
you've got more than your share of
baggage"
Il don't know about that" answered
the Michigan soldier, soberly.
where did yon get the extra gun?''
It's a dead mans gun, It belonged
"a man who was killed down in Cuba.
And you are taking it home, are
you?"
Yes, I'm taking II to his folks"
The stranger seemed inclined to get
more Of the story, but the soldier turned
his head away, SO that no one could see
his lace.

WAS IT MURDER,
OR ACCIDENT ?
THOMAS FOLSOM, COL, CHARGED
WITH A SERIOUS CRIME.
Authorities of Delaware Think Little
Sarah Bolden, of Newark, Was Held
Under the Water Until She Was
Drowned, SO That Her Step Father
Could Get the $40 Insurance.

Last Friday afternoon Detective McNey,
arrested Thomas Tolson, colored, of near
Newark, six miles north of Elkton, on the
charge OF numbering his four. year old step
daughter, Sarah Bolden on the previous
Monday. The little girl was found
drowned in a small stream of water near
the house, and it was first thought that she
had tripped and fallen into the water head
first, and was unable to get out and was
drowned About three weeks previous to
the little girls DEATH her mother had her
life insured for 500, and it was upon the
grounds that the stepiather had done the
murder for the insurance that he was ar
rested. The authorities wor!;; Ell On the
theory that Tolson held the little girls
head under the water until she was dead,
and there left her.
The evidence against the man is purely
crcumstantial but the officers considered it
strong enough to warrant Tolson's arrest.
When the drowning was reported to Cor
over Vandever on Monday night, last week,
he started there and made an investigation
and gave "A certificate of death from acct
dental drowning From his investigation
he was led to believe that the child fell
into the water while her mother was away
from home. The stream is hut three feet
wide and seven inches deep. 1t is about
thirty yards from the Tolson house and is
known as "Boogie rum
After the size of the stream was learned
and that there was 800 insurance on the
child's life, it caused the officers to make
an investigation. The body of the little
child was exhumed and DR.. D. |. McColley
held post norton examination. He
found that death was caused by drowning.
Detective McNey went to the scene Friday,
last week. They lived in the negro settle
ment of near Newark. and there was much
excitement among the negroes when the
detective arrived.
1t was learned that on Monday, the day
the child was drowned, Tolson had taken
where he left her to spend the day
Sometime afterwards he went after her
and took her back to his home Then
he took her to the Smith home again
Later in the morning he removed her to
his own home She was not seen alive
afterwards.
After talking with FOLSOM, he placed him
under arrest and took him before Magis-
trate Medill, where he was arraigned on
the charge of murder. He was held for a
hearing.
Tolson is about 80 years old and has
been employed by number of farmers in
the vicinity Of Newark. He has been mar.
ried for about two years. His wife origin
ally came from Virginia.
Friday night after the arrest, Detective
McNey and Chief of Police Dolan put Toll
son in the sweat box" but he denied
drowning the girl
