train near the woods just west of the sta.
| ton. He was soon missed from the train
which returned and picked him up and
| when Plainfield was reached he again left

| the railroad back TO the Loveland ledge
| and there, attracted by the lights on the
river road attempted to reach them but the
river was barrier which his bewildered
brain had not power enough to overcome

which were heard by parties late in re-
turning home from receiving election re-
| turns. They went to his assistance and
| found him lying on the bank OF the river
| hatless, without an overcoat, completely
| covered with mud, thoroughly chilled
| through and whore only thick growth Of
bushes prevented his rolling into the river

! came the man was directed to the station
| where he took the train and supposedly
