ARMY TEST RIDE FATAL.
Exercise at Fort Ethan Allen Caused
Death Of Col L. H. Walker.

Boston, Nov. 5.-That the death Of
Col Leyerett II. Walker, United States
army, commander Of the coast defences
in the vicinity Of Boston, was due to
the fifteen mile horseback test ride or
dered By President Roosevelt, which
Col. Walker made at Fort Etnan Allen,
VT, was the declaration yesterday Of
DIR. Ben II. Metcalf of Winthrop, who
was called in 70 attend Col WaNer
last Tuesday night. He was called too
late to save Col Walkers lift.
"Col. Walker had been suffering from
heart trouble for six years. said Dr.
MetcaIf yesterday, "Tne medical board
knew this and they should have forbid.
den him to take the ride. II undoubted-
ly hastened bis death.
"When Col Walker returned from
Vermont be took up his duties again.
He was taken i'll Monday night Tues
day night he died of inflammation Of the
valves Of the heart.
1t Is known that the reason Col.
Walker. did not ask to be excused from
the ride was the fear that he would be
retired. Col. Walker was a heavy man,
weighing 225 pounds. The record Of
death at Winthrop shows heart failure
as the cause Of death. This comedies
with Dr. MetcaIf's statement AIT the
fort the army death return gives pto-
maine poisoning as the cause Of death.
DIR. Metcalf declares there was not the
slightest evidence of poisoning.

Weston made the best days record
yesterday Weston actually walked II
miles and he finished in good condition.
The weather conditions were ideal. al.
though the wind, which generally had
3 westerly slant, was somewhat against
the old man.
Principally because he discovered that

that changes in the roads in 40 years

miles az different points, Weston chang
ed his course slightly. and some Of the
places which II had been announced he

For instance, he discovered yesterday

for him to pass through New Britain, he
merely skirted that city and kept on
to Plainyille, Bristol, Waterville and
Waterbury.
