DROP ROBBERY THEORY.


The police have practically decided to
drop the theory of thuggery in the case
of Bert Young of Williamstown, who
lat first reported that he had been re-
lieyed of 4 considerable sum of money
while going from this city To Williams
town late Wednesday, Dight. The theory
on which they are working at the pres
ent time to solve the strange story is
that Mr.. Young was attacked By sud
den illness when driving home and that
be fell from his sleigh to the hard road
bed, receiving 4 blow On the head which
together with Ills Illness made him semi
delirious, and that when he partially
recovered he had in mind the fact that
be went TO Chelsea to collect money and
in his dazed condition got the story
mixed.
This theory further runs that MIR.
Young recovered enough 30 that lie was
able to stumble unaided To the house
of Mrs. Ellen Ward, where he was kind

lieye that il the injured man had been

enough about the condition of the per-
son he had aided to remain with him,
