learned that John Mcnamara, brake

some young men from Foster City was
badly wrecked at the turn Just south
OF the village. The wrecked car and
the dead man were afterwards con-
nected up but there Is still consider
able mystery about the affair.
BY checking up the tracks made by
the tires OF the car it was found that
they eorresponded to those found near
the body OF the dead man. Later Il
was learned who the men were and

where the young men We're found and
placed under arrest
SO far as can be CLEANED from cir
cumstantial evidence II seems that the
young men two named Tousignant and
another named Milligan. came to Chan
ming 70 attend the big dance at the
Liberty last Saturday night. II Is
thought that Mcnamara lay down
back OF the car they came TO Claiming
in and which they parked beside the
road and fell asleep, The young
men. not knowing that the man lay
behind the car, started 70 back UP and
ran over the man. II IS claimed that
they heard him groan and, becoming
frightened, they started to escape be-
fore the mans death should be dis
covered
They were undoubtedly very ex-
cited and in their haste failed 10 oh
