BURKE'S DROP TO DEATH
Unfortunate Man Fell Down a
Stairway.
THE VERDICT OF THE JURY
Coroners Inquest Develops the Fact
That Death Wa Due to Hemor-
rhaee. Caused by the Fall.
Was Not intoxicated.

Coroner Tremblay held an inquest at
ing on the body of Sherry Burke. who
was found dead Thursday morning in
the hallway Of the old Newport lodging
house, at II South Wyoming street.
after he had fallen down a flight of
stairs. The evidence Indicated hat the
deceased came to his death as the re-
suit of a hemorrhage. aggravated by
the fall. and the jury rendered a verdict
to that effect.
Lottie Burke. the widow of the de-
ceased, was first called. She said she
saw her husband about 3 o'clock the
night before he came to his sudden
death. He was not intoxicated at that
time. He had been subject to hemor-
rhages.
Fred Beaulie. a bartender living at
the old Newport, was next called. He
did not know Burke personally. but had
seen him. Witness was in his room
asleep when he was awakened by a
sound like something heavy falling.
Shortly afterwards he heard a commo-
ton in the hall and got up and went
out. Officers and others were then

Bertha Cruise. the landlady OF the old
Newport, said she saw the deceased last
i'm life in the afternoon of Wednesday.
That night about 1880 she heard a noise
I'm the hall n going out found Burke
lying dead at the foot of the stairs. She
called a messenger and sent for the po-
lice. who too charge of the body. There
was no one i'm the hall, nor any evidence
OF anything but natural death from
he~morrhage. Witness stated that the
deceased lost a great quantity of blood.
Police officer Shea was notified a dead
man had been found in the hallway at
the old Newport. Witness went at once
and found the deceased lying at the
foot of the stairs with his head resting
on the bottom step in a pool of blood.
Witness found blood on the stairs. on
the landing above and in the bathroom.
Witness was of the opinion that Burke
went up stairs. was overcome and fell
down to his death. Witness saw Burke
about half an hour prior to his death
and thought that at that time he was
drunk, although his actions may have
been u to his weakened condition
from hemorrhage.
The jury retired and returned a YER
dict In accordance with the evidence as
stated.

NO LONGER AN OFFICER.
c. S. Batterman Says He Is Not Assistant
superintendent of the Il. a. NJ.

Christopher S. Batterman is no longer
assistant superintendent OF the Boston
& Montana Mining company. He makes
affidavit to the fact. and when MI. Bat
terman says a thing under oath. that
thing is so. No one ever questions il.
The only question now is. did Mr.. Bat
terman resign. was he fired, or was his
pay simply stopped?
The surprising bit of information
came u in several papers filed in the
district court yesterday in the $500. 900
damage suit of Miles Finlen against

motion was made to quash the sum-

alleged reason that IL was not served

the Dog and the Law.

Once it is established that the nature
of the species is gentle and that every
dog is a law abiding and peaceable Bruno
then it becomes necessary, before liabil-
lty for the vulgar transgressicns of a
fierce Towser can be fastened on the
owner, that he should have previous
knowledge of the usual and not to be
expected feature.
This is called scienter. and until an
owner has this knowledge of his dog
v1clousness he is not responsible, though
IN the error Of its ways not acting as
becomes gentleman Of the dog species
or lady, as the case may be. To be
more accurate and exact, once dog
has departed from the narrow path of
rectitude and demeaned itself in ways
other than should obtain with strictly
proper and gentle animal, and the own
er knows it, then it loses status and
caste and must be put down as a vicious
animal, and the owner keeps it at his
peril. Lord Coleridge, it seems, was
anxious to reduce the law on the sub.
ject to nicely in the way of succinct-
ness and brevity, and he succeeded by
saying that "every dog is entitled to
one bite, and the case has special refer.
ence to spring lamb or veal. The ex-
preston is varied by making it "every
dog is entitled to one worry. Green

They kissed and quarreled, laughed and

Her in somewhat longer dress,
He now would tremble to caress.
Now by the stile ablaze she stops,

Their common silence dearer far
Than nightingale and marvis are.
Now when they sever welded hands
Joy trembles in their bosom strands,
And lovely laughter leaps and falls
Upon their lips in madrigals.
