the tramp poet began his annual
hegira to the shrines of nature.
Once a year his soul swelled. 1t
was when, as now, he turned his face
from the turmoil, dust and hollow
excitement of the city. 1t seemed to
him as though he was passing into a
new life, as the sprOuting grass of

the passing wayfarer who loved
them.
Outside of a little bundle, usually
strung across his stout walking stick
and containing a change of linen and
a blanket, Sydney Blair had one other
possession of some utility and value.
This was piano tuning key. He was
a natural musician, but the itinerant
minstrel, caroIing forth old-time lays,
was a thing of the past. There were
many pianos in hamlets and farm
houses. From the profession of poet
in winter our good friend enacted a
broad transition to piano tuner at
summertide.
He was a dreamer, his physical
wants limited. The heather formed
a sweet-scented mattress, it was de-
light to watch the stars across the
curtain of night twinkle tired eyelids
close. Sydney simply strolled, talk
ing to the flowers, cOmmuning with
free, grand soul thoughts, composing
poetry he could not sell. 1t was a
tender solace, however, to work over
these and at night repeat them to
himself.
Once, at dusk-tide, Sydney, resting
under a great gnarled oak; was
aroused by a shrill echoing cry. He
ran towards the highway to observe

BURKE DIES After
FIGHT ON Street
PoStmortem Shows Man
Succumbed to Brain Con-
cuSSiOn After Fall
ASSAILANT is
HELD WITHOUT BAIL

Martin Burke, aged as years, who
lived at No. 1tS Shipley street, died
at $3.50 o'clock this morning ii the
Delaware Hospital from concussion
Of the brain alleged to have been
inflicted in a fall caused by blow
from James Brady, who is being held
without bail to await the verdict Of
the coroner's jury. Burke was in
jured early last Friday evening al
Front and shipley streets and was
removed to the Delaware Hospital in
the automobile patrol.
Edward Smith, white man, who
was a witness to a fight between
Burke and Brady, says that Brady
acted in self defense and that the
blow that felled Burke was caused
by Burke's head striking a step at
Caruso's saloon, in front of which
the two men were fighting.
Brady was arrested shortly after
Burke had fallen by officer McDan-
nell Al that time Burke was semi
conscious.
According to Smith, the only witness
ANhtu nD tdl 10 luG liQuDles DfduN was
standing at Front and Shpley streets
when Burke came along Angry words
passed between the men and Burke
grabbed Brady about the neck. Brady
yelled to Burke TO let him along. AZ
this Burke shook Brady and he, Brady,
then showed Burke away from him.
Burke fell, his head striking the steps
and stunning him.
The body OF Burke was removed to
the morgue today, where Drs. II. w
Briggs and p A. Nj Rovitti performed
a post mortem examination. The ply
sicians found that death was due to a
concussion Of the brain. Coroner
Spring has not set any time for the
inquest.
Burke's body was claimed by a rel
atiye, he having a sister named Long
living on the west side of the city.
Brady was charged with assault and
battery in City Court on Saturday but
the case was continued until today
This morning the case was again con
tinued when Judge Churchman was
notified that Burke was dead.
