AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.

AN AUTOMOBILES ACCIDENT.
 Last week Thursday afternoon, May 30, there was quite serious automo- bile accident on Sport Hill. Harry P. Seymour of liar tford, assistant super intendent of the Pope Manufacturing Co.,, who was driving an auto in a race for Bridgeport parties, while go- ing up Sport Hill at high rate of speed, lost control of the machine, thrown Is feet into the air and landed in the mud by the road side. The auto was overturned and badly smashed. MT Seymour was somewhat bruised and stunned but fortunately was not severely hurt. He went to the home of Edward Seeley and Dr Watson of Bridgeport, who was in the locality, was called and looked him over and found there were no bones broken. After resting a while he went and looked over the wrecked d Bridgeport. Just as MT Seymour reached the top of the hill his machine got into a rut, making the machine bound in the air, and when the ma chine landed the front wheels were headed toward the right side of the road. He made desperate effort to right his machine but was unable and it hit tree at the side of the road and bounded along on the iside of the road for about 100 feet, when it went between telegraph pole and tree, hitting the pole and Overturning the machine. It was a miracle that MT Seymour was not killed.

OF MARVIN BOY

FARM.
BEARS NO MARK OF FOUL PLAY
FATHER PERSISTS IN THEORY
THAT HIS SON WAS MUIR
pEREDf

Dover. Del, May Z - Lying in
marshy piece of land, the body OF little
Horace Marvin, son Of Dr. II. n. Mar
win. whose mysterious disappearance
from the Bay Meadow farm, near DO
yer, had baffled solution since MarcL
4. was found about half mile from
the Marvin farm Saturday by Ollic
Pleasanton, n farmer.
Pleasanton. who lives ON farm ad
Joining the Marvin place, came upon
the child's body while out cunning
The child lay face downward IN I
pate of meadow grass.
There was not Il mark upon the n
tie ones body indicating foul play.
An Odd Circumstance.
Pleasanton says he saw the body
from distance of twenty feet. FRI
day several gunncrs passed over this
land. but none saw the body, If it wa
there then.
Detectives who have been working
on the case are inclined To the belle.
that the boy wandered into The
marshes from the farm on the day ol
his disappearance, and being overcome
by The cold fell exhausted where the
body was found
Covered Same Ground.
DR.. Marvin says he had searched
over the same marsh nearly every day
since the disappearance, and with de
tectives burned the grass off the place
four weeks ago, but saw no sign OF the
body.
The theory that the child recently
had been placed where he was found
is supported by the fact that DR.. Mar
vim and the detectives stood on the
spot when they burned the tall sage
grass from il.
DR. Marvin went on run to the
place described by Pleasanton and
gently picked up the little form, push
ing the cap from the face TO make
sure that it was his boy.
Convinced of Foul Play.
Being convinced that it was 30 son,
the doctor wrapped the remains i'll Il
sheet and carried him TO the hose.
DR.. Marvin is convinced that his soh
met with foul play. He said:
Though ] am unable TO examine
Horace closely until the coroner ar
rives, | am certain he was murdered,
his body brought back and left lying
in the marsh to give the impression
thar he wandered out there and died.
The clothing showed no signs of hav-
ing been burned as undoubtedly
would have been the case had the
body laid there when the fire swept
over the marsh"
The coroner will begin his investi-
cation to-day.
