TIE CRInE OF aBURKING.,, >,

On the 29th CT November, 1927, an old
man by the name Of Donald died in West
Port, one Of the purlieus of Edinburgh.
He lodged with a man named Wm. Hare,
and died owing him four pounds. His
! creditor saw but one way Of reimbursing
himself, and that was by disPOsing Of the
old mans body to the doctors. Hare
found ready aCcOmplice in VIM. Burke,
one Of his lOdgers. The body was re-
moved from the coffin, and a bag Of tan
ner's bark substituted for it. The lid was
screwed down and the little funeral wen.
of as usual. The same evening, Hare and
Burke stealthily repaired 10 the university,
and, meeting student in the yard, asked
for the rooms OF DR.. Monroe, the Professor
OF Anatomy. The student happened to be
pupil Of knOX's, and, upon discovering
their erTand, he advised them to try KuOxs
place in Surgeons Square. There they sold
the body for e l0s., a large sum for them,
and very easily obtained. They had no cour-
2ge TO 20 insO the regular business Of body
stealing and SO Hare, ths vilest Of the
two, suggested fresh stroke OF business,
which was TO inyeiglc the old and infirm
into his quarters and 'lO for them" Hare
started in search Oi 3 victim; and, pro wing
through the slums, met an old woman half
drunk, and asked her 10 his house. He
gave her whisky until she became coma
tOse, and then with BGrke's assistance
strangled her. The body brought ElO.
The appetite Of the vampires was now
sharply Whetted, and they entered system
GtiCally upon the work Of murder. Va
grants, street-walkers, and imbeciles, were
zliured on various preteXts to the house Of

EmbOlGened by their successes, they began
to pursue their thuggish practices even in

The fever this season has displayed all
the qualities Of a good general maneuver-
ing before an enemy. Ii first appeared at

fO.ts 20 prevent il. Az that humanity
could do was done to keep Pensacola free
from the fever. The first case developed
itself this morning, upon a Air. Fields, who
had knowingly and willfully entered the
city, being fully aware that he really had
the lever (at least it is so said.) As soon
as the case was reported, Col. J. p.
Jones, our Mayor, sent two physicians to
examine and report. As soon as their mis-
sion was heard Of crowds BEGAN to collect
on the rect corners, anXiOusly awaiting
their return. The various crowds began
to concentrate at one point as soon as the
medical men were seen returning. Their
report wsS laconic, but to the point. Il
was 'yel-oW fever, sir" In less than half
an hour, many we're making preparations
to leave. Unless the fever is checked at
once, the injury to commerce will be almost
incalculable. The business men Of the
city are disheartened, and say It seems
like struggling against fate 10 attempt to
build up a business here.

drank his fill at John Eagles saloon On
River street yesterday, rose like satisfied
man from his repast, and started for the
door. "Here," said Eagle, "yOung fellow,
you want 10 settle at the bar" The canaler
remarked, II never settle when l amt got
no money, and that's my tx now" Re
piled the irate Eagle, $50, sJ?" Well in
such a case, 1 generally settle the account
myself" and forthwith he ieft the

into the middle Of the street. The victim
Of summary propulsion ra7ed and cursed
while Eagle benignly stood at his door and
remarked. eNever mind, never mind, my
friend: you needn't make any apology.
Your account is settled. Come again any
