The newest wonder is Brennan's
gyroscope railroad car, which runs on
a single rail, can run on the tight
rope, go up and down hill, turn cor
ners swiftly and safely, all on the
principle OF the spinning top, which
does not fall down so long as It goes
on spinning. Two heavy horoscopes
rotating in vacuums i'm Brennan's car
keep the car upright, and will not
let it fall over. The principle was tried
out two years ago in a model in Ber-
lin. Its working was publicly shown
last week in England with a Cotton
car which carried 40 persons, running
on two wheels up and down a straight
single track and around a circular
track 220 yards long. Enormous speed
$50 miles an hour-is predicted for
railroad cars of this type, as well as
great economy of power. 1t sounds
fantastic and incredible, but the deep
er one reads into its story the more
serious and astonishing it appears.

KUKKELA IS FREED OF
The CHARGE OF MURDER
Released This Morning After
Reading Of Testimony Of
Witnesses
BURGLARY HEARING TODAY

Leander Kukkela was this morning
released from custody, freed of the
charge of responsibility for the death
OF his cousin, Matt Kukkela, who was
found dead i'm ravine near Newtown
on November %. The testimony of
the witnesses, who were heard at the
hearing a week ago, was read and
signed. and there being nothing in the
evidence even pointing suspicion tow
ard Leander, he was acquitted and
left the court a free man. He re-
ceived the warm congratulations Of
his friends who were present i'm court,
and some OF whom had been witnesses
i'm the case.
The acquittal of Kuklela was no sur
prise, it being generally considered
that he would be freed of the charge,
nothing in the evidence indicating that
he had killed his cousin, and tending
rather to show that relations between
the two on the night of Mats disap-
pearance were decidedly friendly. At
torney w. A. Burritt, who appeared
for Kukkela, pointed out at the time of
the examination a week ago that at
the time of Mats death, as related by
witnesses, Leander was asleep in the
snow at n point half a mile distant
from the place where Matt met his
death. The presumption now is that
the latter broke his neck by rolling
down the declivity into the ravine,
while walking home along one of the
footpaths leading from town to the
hCme of the deceased at Newtown.
That Leander would be freed of the
charge was indicated by the fact that
he was released on his own recognize
ance after the hearing, promising to
be on hand this morning after the tes-
timony had been transcribed.
The examination of Ebert Abramson

Some Other Wrestlers First.

Karl Lehto, the Hancock wrestler, in
reply to the challenge for a match be-
