MYSTERIOUS CRIME.

Edwin L. Burdick, wealthy man,
president of E. l.. Burdick & Co., and
Of the Buffalo Envelope Company, was
murdered early yesterday at his home,
on Ashland avenue, in one of the finest
residence sections of Buffalo. The theory
al first advanced, that the crime was the
work of burglar was abandoned as
the police probed deeper into the case.
While they say they have several i'm
portant clues, no arrest has been made.
Mr.. Burdiok was last seen alive at 1890
Thursday night, when he bade the other
members of the household goodnight and
started for his room apparently with the
intention Of retiring. In the morning
his body, clad only in an undershirt, was
found on couch in a small room off the
lower hail. used by him as smoking
room. The body was covered with rug
and number of sofa pillows. The
couch was saturated with blood and the
walls and floor were bespattered with
brains and blood. The head had been
crushed.
CHEF of Detectives Cusack took charge
of the case. A thorough examination of
the house and its occupants was made.
Nothing of value was missing. The out
side door of the house was locked and the
spring lock was in its place when the
servants got up in the morning. The
inner door was ajar. A kitchen window
was partly raised, but there were no
marks on the snow outside or on the win
dow sill to indicate that anyone had el-
tered. All the other windows and doors
of the house were securely fastened.
These facts shattered the theory of an
unknown intruder.
Some interesting discoveries were made
in other parts of the house. No weapon
could be found anywhere. AT the foot
of the couch were found Mr.. Burdick's
stockings. His trousers and other arti-
cles of clothing were in his bedroom on
the floor above. The bed had not been
occupied. On the table in the smoking
room the detectives found bottle partly
filled with whisky and the remaias of a
light luncheon. Members of the family
say that Mr.. Burdick never partook Of
the food of which the luncheon compo.-
ed, and never drank liquor while eating.
In this connection Chief Cusack said.
"From investigations | have made |
would conclude that Mr.. Burdick was
called downstirs by ring or a knock at
the door after he was ready for bed He
evidently admitted someone he knew
we'll and took the visitor into his den
for talk, and to partake ofthe luncheon
found there. There are some signs of
struggle. The fact that two of the
fingers of Mr.. Burdick's left hand wele
broken indicates that he put up his hand
to ward off the blow which he saw COM
ing"
The force with which the blows that
killed Mr.. Burdick were delivered seems
to preclude the possibility that won.
an delivered them. The murdered
mans wife left home two months ago,
with the intention, it is said, of not re-
turning. On December 5 proceedings
for divorce were filed in the County
Clerks office by Mr.. Burdick. 1t is un-
derstood that Mrs. Burdick went to
Atlantic City. What connection his
domestic troubles may have had with
the crime, the police do not presume to

The regulation farm lot in Maine is

Within reasonable limits, the bigger

proitably 1t can be operated. Hence
we find in Presque Isle the average
acreage approXimating 200, and a large
percentage OF farms ranging from this
figure to 400 and even 500 acres. Po-
tatoes, Aroostook's staple, are found
here in fields ranging from 20 to 100
acres, often yielding over 100 barrels

to the knack of rotating clover With
