Officers Not Fooled.
After spending the entire day satur-
day Investigating the matter the off
GERS Of Gavin county gave out that
they took no stock in the reported
murder Of the physician
Saturday night the state was startled
by the announcement that Dr. Burns
was believed to have been murdered
al his home. Reports stated that blood
had been spattered about the house
and that portions of flesh We're found
scattered about the place. The first
results Of an investigation disclosed
evidences that a brutal murder had
been committed and that the victims
body had been carried away. Wagon
tracks were discerned in the roadways
about the Burnes place and the officials
came to the conclusion that the muir
derers had made off with the mutilated
corpse in a wagon.
Detailed investigation.
Immediately after the circulation Of
the reports the officials Of the county
commenced an extended investigation.
\ The house and premises were gone
over in detail, with the result that the
announcement was made that the
physician lives. Dr. Burns was re-
leased on bond after an arraignment
on charge of assault to kill Robert
Mayes and was to appear in court for
trial last Saturday When the case

Clerks in Treasury
Must Be on Time

Washington, D G., Dec. 27.-Secre- 4
tary MacYeagh, of the treasury depart
ment, noteworthy disciple Of govern.
ment economy, has a new scheme for
saving money for Uncle Sam, which is
now being put into effect, and which,
incidentally, is causing loud voiced
wall to emanate from majority Of the
4 5000 clerks in his department.
The plan is to make It impossible
for clerks to be late, without having
the fact duly chronicIed by watch
man and having corresponding
amount Of time taken off the clerks
annual leave of absence. Secretary
Macveagh expects to accomplish his
ends by requiring all employees to en-
ter the building by a single set Of doors
now being made.
In the past there have been clerks
who, when they We're late, entered the
building by some door other than that
they were accustomed to use. In case
the watchman attempted to halt them
they would wave him gracefully aside
with the cheerful information that
they were visitors in the city, on a
sightseeing trip.
The new plan, however well Il may
work out, is extremely distasteful to
the clerks Those who would scorn
to filch a few minutes from their gov
ernment, resent the implied criticism
Of their honesty OF purpose. Those
who have used many entrances to their
advantage, are peeyed because they
see a good thing taken from them,
And then there is another objection
able feature to the plan, according 70
the viewpoints Of the clerks. It will
soon be necessary for many Of them TO
walk a block farther than has hereto
fore been necessary in order to get into
the building, and from the same en-
trance back again in order TO get tc
their desks.
