 Following reports by Joseph A. Mudry, of III Crown street. Meri- den. and John k. Cater, also of Meriden and stephen Narkoski of 16 Beach street, Bristol. that they had found a large bolt on the west bound tracks about mile and a half north of the Bristol railroad station. the local police began an in vrstigation today. The bolt had been placed across the rail. the men said. so that its head and large washer affixed to the end were firmly wedg- ed against the steel. A large nut had been set upon one of the rails of the eastbound tracks. The obstacles were found early last night. few minutes before train coming from Waterbury to Bristol a~sel by. The men brought their finds to the local police station last night and railroad officials were notified immediately.
 Whether the bolt would have seri- ously interfered with he hasage Of the train is not definitc ly known. al- tn, ugh the railroad officials were in- clined to believe tha' there would have been no disastrous results. It is the theory of the Bristol police that the obstacles were placed upon the tracks by small boys who did not realize the gravity of the offense.
 The three men had left a house on Crescent drive near the Barnes tract in this city to enter their au- tomobile when their attention was drawn to the object upon the rails. They hurriedly removed the bolt and nut and at once brought them to the police station.

 Three Breaks sunday Morning
 Three breaks. all of which were reported by Bristol police off ITS within three quarters of an hour were made in this city late Saturday night or early yesterday morning. The City Fruit store. manager at North Main street by John Karde. kas: Cooks Shoe store, managed by Harry Cook on the same street and the Reed Auto Supply Co. in the Cameo building on Main street, were the three places entered. On every occasion entrance had been gained in practically the same manner. back windows having been smashed 50 that locks could be released.
 AS. far as could be ascertained yesterday morning nothing had been taken at any of the stores except at the City Fruit store, where SS was stolen from the cash register. At the latter place the break must have been made between the time the proprietor left shortly after i. o'clock and the appearance of Off, fcer James Keith about 20 minutes later. Officer Thomas Mccarthy r.- ported the break at the Reed Auto Supply company on Main street.
 It is thought by the police that tine depresations may have been per- retrated by Bristol boys who are thoroughly acquainted with the times the officers make their rounds in the central part of the city. Some time ago a similar break was r.- ported at the building in which .he City Fruit store is located. The store is only few doors from ti,e local police station.
