after everyone was sound asleep.
There were no other guests on that
floor. Burton and his wife sleep on
this floor, and the servants are at the
top Of the house and in q wing. No
bone heard a sound. We have not the
remotest idea when the thing hap
pened, or when she left the place. Dr.
Sheet says the man had been dead six
or eight hours when he first saw him.
and that was veryasoon after Burton's
discovery. Burton, on finding the door
open. naturally suspected that his
guests had skipped out during the
night to avoid paying the bill, and lost
no time in entering the room.
"He found the man lying on the bed.

dead. He was partly dressed. His
coat and vest hung over the back of
a chair. A small service carving
knife, belonging to the inn, had been
driven sQuarely into his heart and was
found sticking there. Burton says
that the man, on their arrival at the
inn, about nine O'Clock at night, or
dered supper sent up to the. room.
The tray of dishes, with most of the
food untouched, and an empty cham
payne bottle, was found on the service
table near the bed. One Of the chairs

no attention to what was going ON.
The waitress left the room without
seeing her face. She had instructions
not to come for the tray until morn

"That was the last time the man
was seen alive. No one has seen the
woman since the door closed after

SEEMS EASY TO SELL LAND IN
SOUTH FLORIDA

The Orlando Reporter-Star says
that one hundred thousand dollars is
said to be the price of a land deal
that has just been contaminated, in
volving twenty thousand acres of
land located around Orlando and
Oveido.
The land in question is a part of
the holdings of the South Florida Ma
val Stores Company, and comprises
some of the most valuable realty in
this section.
The deal was engineered by r. S.
Hall, the well known turpentine mag
nate of Ocala. Chicago capitalists
were the purchasers.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures connected with the sale is the
fact that Mr.. Lee Miller, an Orlando
man, is to be one of the Florida man
ayers.
This is probably the largest deal
that has been consummated in this
part of Florida for some time, and
will no doubt be of much benefit to
Orlando, as much of the land lies at
no great distance from the city, and
it's development is certain to carry
with it many advantages to this sec
ton.
