MAN MISSING
AFTER DRIVE
Team is Found DitChed Along
Railroad But Driver Not
Heard From
CITY POLICE WORK
ON MYSTERY CASE

Mystery surrounds the disappear
ance on Monday night of a stranger
who hired a team from Daniel T. Kill
roy, liveryman, at Fifth and Orange
streets, and failed to return, the horse
and carriage being found at o'clock
Tuesday morning near Pennsylvania
railroad tracks at Claymont. The car
riage was somewhat damaged but the
horse showed no sign of i'll treat
ment On Myrtle avenue, which leads
to the Claymont station we're found a
mans hat believed to belong to the
person who hired the team, the whip
that was in the carriage and the car
riage seat.
Myrtle avenue is some distance from
Grubb's Landing, where the horse was
found, and how the hat and other
effects came to be where they were, is
mystifying.
The team was found in a ditch along
side the railroad tracks by track walk
ers and word was sent to Wilmington,
the police having previously been no
titled of the disappearance of the
team.
It was reported today that the man
who hired the team was employed by
a horse shoer here, the names of two
men in this business being mentioned,
but an investigation resulted in finding
no truth in the rumors.
AT KillrOy's stable today 1t was said
that the team was hired TO the strager
between 6 and o'clock on Monday
evening. the man in charge of the
stable at the time saying that the
strangers face was familiar and he
thought he knew him. For that rea-
son he did not question him. The
stranger paid SO for the team and said
be would return about 10 o'clock
When the team was not returned at
midnight the facts in the case were
reported to the police. The latter have
since been working on the case.
II is now believed that the man
who hired the team was a stranger in
Wilmington and that he either met
with foul play or is the victim Of ar
/ accident.
