EXCITEMENT Still HIGH.
LONDON AGlTATED OVER THE
ANARCHIST BURGLAR GANG.

London, Jan. Public excitement
over the hunting down of the anar-
chist burglar gang continues at fever
heat
Yesterday great crowds swarmed
about the dingy east end street which
the day before was the scene of a
battle. the like of which had not been
known in the history of London's po-
lice department.
The police who have been greatly
overworked during the past As hours,
had their hands full in keeping the
streets open TO traffic, while the de-
tective department pursued its in
yestigation into the Russian anar-
chist colony with unremitting energy
During the night the police thor
oughly overhauled the ruins OF the
tenement house in Sidney street
where the outlaws made their last
stand and were shot or burned to
death in the fight with the police and
soldiers.
The officers discovered parts of an
other body yesterday. While little
except the head and neck was intact,
the authorities have no doubt the
parts We're from the body of Peter
the Painter" who Tuesday night was
believed to have been still at large.
All three bodies recovered from
the burned house were found in a
back room on the ground floor.
The claim is established apparently
that the building was fired by the
desperadoes. II is thought that when
the trapped men found their ammu-
milton nearly spent and escape i'm
possible, they set fire TO the building
and committed suicide.
No papers were found throwing
light on the operations OF the gang.
Some of the evening papers fea-
ture the recent discovery OF a pack
age of blasting gelatine close by the
gas works near the jute mill town or
Barking, seven miles northeast OF
London and attempt 10 connect the
discovery with the anarchists.
The explosive was found on a river
bank on December "a and was so sat
urated as to be harmless.

CENSUS GIVES '.
DURHAM 1924.

Director of the Census Z. Dana Du-
rand announced the census Of Dur
ham for 1910, the thirteenth census,
which is 1924. This is remarkable
growth compared with 6,679 in 1900
and 5,4S5 in 1890.
With the announcement of the popu-
lation OF Durham today, it is estimated
that this city including the nearby
suburbs, East and West Durham, part
of which sections were taken into the
corporate limits two years ago. the
total population will reach $4,000.
Many had predicted that the census
figures would give this city at least
$4,000. but an increase of about 273.1
per cent in ten years is remarkable
and one that every citizen of Durham
should feel proud of.

NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH
BUCK WILBORNE INJURED AT
COMMONWEALTH MILL.

Escaping probable death by the
fraction of a second was the thrilling
experience OF Buck Wilborne. an en-
ployee OF the Commonwealth cotton
mill, Wednesday. Caught in a
stripping belt the mans head and hand
was carried into the shafting and
but for the aid of nearby employees
he would have met death. As it was
Mr.. Wilborne was painfully cut about
the head. His wounds we're dressed
by DR.. A. C. Adams.
A singular incident is that on Janu-
airy 90 last year, Mr.. wilborne was
injured in a similar manner but the
injuries at that time were not as SER
ious as today.
