BROKEN AXLE WAS
PLACED IN MACHINE

The investigation by the sheritf's Of
flee yesterday into the broken axle
incident at the Wandamere motordrome
last Thursday night in which a danger
GUS accident was only averted by mere
luck brought out new feature. Sher-
if Sharp now has possession Of both
ends Of the broken axle and by fitting
them together it was shown conclusive
" that the axle had been broken and
afterward placed in the wheel. File
marks on the broken ends were plainly
shown and these only could have been
put there after the axle was broken.
1t is thought the cone bearing Was
screwed over the broken place and this
held the axle together until the power
was placed on the rear wheel. This
sudden Jolt caused the axle to give
way.
The sheriff's Office seems convinced
there was a mischievious piece Of work
done by somebody.
During the day Sheriff Sharp held
consultations with Mat Warden, the
rider who was on the machine whom 1t
gave way, Referee ". D. Rishel, j. A.
Mcneil and V. Bernstrom, mechanics
at the track. The investigation will
be continued today.
