The man wys ‘ubout 25 years old, tail, dressed â€" in datk clothes and a Derby hbat, and presented â€" a generally disreputable appeatrance. His â€"complexion was san dy and his face unshaven. The story told by the young man is to the effect that the stranger sain be was in hard> luck and wanted to get to ‘a point where he could O tain some (money. He offered â€" his watch, a new sllver timepicce, _ for i5 cents, and "the offer was prompt ly taken.‘ ‘lhe stranger, spoke oi having slept in a barn all night. He did not explain the nature of. his lameness. He earried a broom handle to aid him in locomotion. . Artived in Galt the man asked the: nearest ‘way toâ€" Berlin, and‘ when shown a car bound for the north boardet it. There i# cather a startling episode Associated with the arrival and de Jarture of this mysterious strangei and it is in connection therewith that the police officer came to Sheffield. On the old McClure farm, worked ai at present by Henry Griiun, is a oig parn. The door was noviced to be op en Wednesday afternoon, and the «is covery was made of blood prints cn the floor and in the hay, while © an old. bloodâ€"stained razor lay in ong ou the stalls. Tracks led from the batn a _ creek near by, where‘a torn necktie also discovered with bloo, was found. ‘The theory was that some tramp with a wounded limb had slept in the barn used theâ€" razor surgically and gone to ‘the â€" urech He . was driven to Galtâ€"by Henry Wh"h‘.u!:nhhlhq. who ~ was making "a trip to that town _ and who overtook the man hobbling along and assedpd to his request for a lifi. Subsequently on the return _ oi young Whitham, the neighbors putâ€" ting this and that together conâ€" cluded that the mysteriqus stranger taken to ~Galt was cither a fugitive from justice or had been shot or Stabbed in a brawl. Chice{l Twiss took possession of the razor and necktic. He also . commandeéred the silver watch that had come so cheap to Henry Whitham. This atticle, the chief says, furnishes a good clue to the identity of the stranger and he took_it <to Hamilton to see if. it tould be identified by the jeweller whose premises were robbed the othâ€" er night. The burglars there were surprised and chased, several shots being fired at them. The supposition now is that one of the shots t:x effect and that the mysterious cupant. of â€"~Griffin‘s barn and the burglar who made a billet for: the bullet are one and the same man.
