BUZZARDS MENACE HEALTH
Coast Towns of Mexico Find That Carrion Birds Pollute Their
 Water.

San Antonio, Tex.-There is an agi. tation now on in the coast towns of Mexico to eliminate the vultures. Mex. ico, like most of the states of America, has cherished the carrion crow or tur- key buzzard and fine is imposed for killing these birds. They were assumed to be great sanitary agents. But ex- perience has shown the people of the hot lands where these repulsiye fowls are numbered by the thousand in every vicinity, that the water supply is often contaminated by the fowls.
 In Port of Spain the birds have been slaughtered by the thousand this spring and their bodies formed into an immense funeral pyre.
 Tampico, Mexico, is the pioneer of the Mexican in the movement to kill the vultures. That city is infested by the fowls to an extent that is not equaled by any other Mexican coast city. Sanitary experts there have re- ported that instead of being public benefactor as a scavenger the vulture has become a public nuisance and mcudCc to tuc hcditH oA lAS CoulA unity through the water supply.
 It is held by the experts who have framed an appeal to the national legts- lature that the birds be removed from the protection of the laws, that only under primitive conditions are they of any benefit as scavengers.
 Where drainage is unknown and filth ts scattered broadcast the sanitary ex- perts say the buzzard helps. But when modern conditions prevail the buzzayd becomes a menace.

Epund Dead in Box Car

Recently at Fort Smith, while Fris- co employees were breaking m train of empty cars which came in the even- ing before, they discovered the body of man, evidently murdered, in one of the box cars. The entire right side of his head was crushed and beside the body was an iron bar with which the killing had been done. There was pool of blood on the car floor near the door and then a streak of blood to the spot where the body lay in the end of the car. The supposition isthat the man was killed while near the door and the body dragged out of sight. Three handkerchiefs, one soaked with blood, another soaked with blood and water and another wet with water, were found near the body, indicating that an attempt had been made to wash the blood from the wound. The location of the wound indicates that the fatal blow was struck while the man was asleep. In pocketbook was found a miners travelling card in the name of c. Mundowski, which was is sued from the secretary of the local at Gowan, I. T. There is no evidence upon which to found a theory as to where or why the murder was commit ted The condition of the mans cloth ing did not indicate that his pockets had been searched.
