"The Buffalo Tragedy comes to the

noon and night. The mystery sur
rounding the great tragedy at Buffalo.
February last, has never been solved.
Some Of the most prominent persons of
the city were entangled in its web Of
complication. The keenest detectives
were employed on the case, but the
shadow of mystery dissolved only
when one of the suspects, with his
wife, i'm their automobile dashed over
the cliffs into the quarry beneath.
These incidents have furnished mater
ial for one of the strongest melo-

to many of the events and relevant
conditions, was well qualified to write

ton of the same is excellent. Mana
