vestigation was begun that day, and
it was discovered that the blacksmith
had sold his coat to a teamster for 81
and ferry-boat ticket, and had come
to Arlington and taken an outgoing
train and left for other fields.
He was a badly frightened man, as
he had $50 time check in his clothes
and had $50 coming to him from the
contractor he was working for, but he
did not stop to get this, nor has he
had the time check cashed.

him. for no trace of him could be

There is no doubt that if the black
smith had given himself up he could
easily have proven the killing was
done in self defense. as the American
was the aggressor.

DROWNING AT
WOODFORD
Miss Helen TOmIinsOn Loses
Life in Big Pond.
WAS LEARNING TO SWIM
Body Recovered and Taken to
Young Woman's Home In
HoOsick Falls.

Miss Helen romllnson, the % years
old daughter OF Mr. aud Mrs John
Tomlinson OF Hooslck Falls was
drowned yesterday afternoon in the
Big pond in Woodford. The accident
happened at two o'clock aud the body
was recovered about four hours later.
Miss Tomlinson, who was a school
teacher, and who had a school at Wal
loomsac has been frequent visitor
during the present summer vacation at
the Scott cottage opposite the pond
and which has been occupied this sea-
son by Mr. aud Mrs Warwick Carpen-
ter.
There has been more bathing than
usual at Big pond this summer. Not
only the young people but those ad.
vanced in years and who had not yet
acquired the art have been learning to
swim. Miss Tominson was not
swimmer but Saturday afternoon While
In boat she jumped into deep water
with the understanding that her com
panions were to catch her when she
came TO the surface. She performed
the feat successfully Sunday after
noon she again jumped from the boat
but for some reason she sank without
again rising to the surface.
AT the time Miss Tominson left the
boat, there we're three young women
and a young man, all swimmers. In
the water near her but the teacher was
not seen again after she disappeared.
AS soon as the news of the accident
reached the campers about the pond,
systematic search for the body was in
augurated and about O'Clock it was
brought to the surface 10y means OF a
rake.
An examination of the body showed
that no water had entered the lungs,
and it is presumed that Miss Tomlin-
son either had an attack of heart fail
ure or was injured by coming violent
ly in contact with the water as she
jumped from the boat.
The body was taken to her home In
Hoosick Falls this morning.

Visitation of Frogs.

An Australian town near Melbourne
had strange visitation. An army
of frogs probably from a nearby
morass swarmed into the town. They
covered the roads, and got into the
houses, whence the householders had
to sweep them or shovel them. The
episode caused somewhat of scare In
the minds of the superstitious, and
some of the old folk declared the end
of the world was at hand. The inva-
sion, however, finally passed on to
