MYSTERIOUS MURDEk.
Edwin L. 5urdick Found with His Head
Crushed IL ITS Fine Home 1t
Buffalo, N. n. s M


Buffalo,sN. Y, Feb. 2S.--Edwin l.
Burdick, president of E. L. Burdicl
a Co., and Of the Buffalo Envelope
company, was murdered early yes
terday at his home on Ashland ave
nue., In one Of the finest residence
sections of the city. The theory at
first advanced, that the crime was
the work of burglar, was aban-
doned as the police probed deeper in
to the case and, while they claim to
have several important clews. no ar
rest has been made.
Mr.. Burdick was last seen alive
Thursday night at 1880, when he
babe the other members Of the
household good night and started for
his room, apparently with the inten-
ton Of retiring for the night. Yes
terday morning his body, clad in an
undershirt, was found lying on q
couch In o small room of the lower
hall used by Mr.. Burdick as q smok-
ing room. The body was covered
with rug and Q number of sofa pill
lows. The couch was saturated with
blood and the walls and floor Of the
little den were bespattered with
brains and blood. The head had been
crushed with some blunt instru-
ment.

TOLD OF RATS.
Few Stories Showing Their Natural
ghrswdness.

The London Field tells this story
A rat was caught alive on board
British naval vessel in q trap and thu
beast was thrown from the trap int
the water without being killed. A
large gull that was following In The
wake Of the ship to pick up scraps Of
food thrown overheard by the steward
swooped several times, endeavoring to
pick the rat up. Once the bird got too
close to the rats Jaws and the beast
grabbed It by the neck. After short
fight the rat succeeded In killing the
bird. When the gull was dead the raj
scrambled upon the birds body and
hosting one wing as a sail and using
the other as a rudder, succeeded In
steering for the shore. Whether the
rat reached shore or not is the ques-
ton, since the ship soon got out OF
sight Of the skipper and Its craft.
A two-horse load Of tin clippings
was being transferred tothe rear base
ment Of q prominent hotel. 1t had
come from q can factory, and the mar
row, curling strips had become 90
twisted and intertwined as to form a
conglomerate mass that was moved
with the greatest difficulty by two
sturdy fellows with stable forks, says
the Philadelphia Record, A bystander,
who was curious enough to inquire
what use q swell hotel had for such
truck, was answered by an attache Of
the house: "We use 1t for rats. I
mean the big, gray fellows, holder and
wiser than any other rat He laughs
at traps, fattens on poison, and the
killing or chasing Of dogs, cats and fer
rets IL his pet diversion. Even when
energetic measures have rid us Of the
pests they are with us again in aug
mented force within a day or two.
They will tunnel through almost any
thing for incredible distances. 1t is
their boring ability that has given M
90 much trouble hitherto. No matter
how we closed up their passageways
the routes were promptly re-opened.
Filling the holes with broken glass was
considered good scheme until we
found that with marvellous patience
they removed the glass piece by piece.
"But we think we've got them now.
With this tangle-up tin we construct q
sort Of abatis, covering all places
where the beasts are likely to enter
our cellars. They can't get through 1t.
They can't chew 1t and they can't car

A rather unusual battle occurred on
the farm of James A. Bill, at Lyme, on
Saturday last. A prize winning Devon
bull owned by Mr.. Bill had been out
to pasture for some time, and In his
solitude had come to look upon himself
as monarch Of all he surveyed. On Sat-
urday last Mr. Bill turned into the
same lot q sow that has also won
prizes for beauty at many Of the fairs
held In the state. No one had hitherto
suspected her possessing fighting quail
tiles, and it was not until brought to
test that she developed her most re.
markable traits.
The big DEVON bull resented the ap-
proach Of the SOW, and almost at once
proceeded to attack her. The SOW at
first was inclined to run, but as there
was no place TO escape, she turned
about and faced her assailant When
the bull made a charge Kansas Bill
and one Of the farm hands who saw
the combat expected to see the SOW
swept into the next field. When almost
upon her the SOW shuffled quickly to
one side and planted her teeth in the
jaws Of the bull. who shook her on
and made q second attack almost Inn
mediately. Again did the SOW pursue
the same tactics and succeeded in get
ting even better hold. When the bull
finally shook her OF there was blood
on his neck and jaws and he was en-
ragged to the point Of madness. The
bull continued the attach, but could not
manage to gore the slow, which
fought much as o bulldog would, de-
pending chiefly on her teeth 10 DO dam

Opportunities
in the South.

No portion OF the United States
has made greater progress in the
last year or two than the South.
Northern and foreign capital is
rapidly invading that section,
finding profitable investment in
the various industries and fac
tories that are being rapidly de-
veloped and built. The great
influx Of settlers is creating
an increased demand for lands
of all kinds and prices are grad
ually advancing, as they will for
years to c)me. Work is plen-
tiful and poverty practically
unknown. Alabama is supply.
ing coal and iron to all the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor in the raising OF
small fruits and berries and in
truck patching on the Gulf
Coast than in any other state in
the Union. Strawberries from
Alabama reach northern mark

In the southeast. Cattle can be
