Search was made for fire-arms, but none were discovered. The parents of the boy are quite unable to account for the death of their son, and the police, so tar, have obtained no clue. The affair is supposed to have been an accident,
Later.— The Mystery Solved. A post mortem examination of Adams shows that the boy was killed by falling on a stake.
