rV.O MURDERERS GET SWIFT

CENTERVILLE, Mich. — Slightly
more than twelve hours after their
ctpture for killing State Policeman
John Burke in the robbery of a Bat
tle Creek bank, Thomas Martin, 30
years old, and James Gallagher, 28,
were sentenced to life imprisonment
in Jackson prison.
Burke was sho€ when he overtook
the pair as they drove toward Indi
ana after the holdup. They were
captured later near the Indiana line
by other troopers after their auto
mobile became overheated and they
were forced to walk.
Th two men held up the old Mer
chants & Trust Bank. They shot
John S. Burke, 24, three times and
ran over his body after shooting him.
Their capture occurred after a 75
mile chase.
Both Martin and Gallagher are
from Toledo, Ohio. Four thousand
dollars loot was found on them. Gal
lagher was wounded in a pistol fight
with the pursuers.
WYOMING SEES DANGER
IN RAISING MORE COYOTES
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Commercial
production of coyotes in a state that
has fought for their extermination
has invited criticism from the Wyom
ing department of agricuture.
Raising of coyote pups for sale and
for the trade in pelts is increasing,
the department says.
Attention was called to the serious
infestation of New York state as a
result of coyote pups being -sold as
pets in the East- Doubting the value
of the pelt trade, since coyotes usual
ly become mangy and are worthless
by fall, the department says the
greatest danger lies in the likelihood
f escape.
Warren Alford, following a visit trp
in the sheep hills, returned here, last
Thursday.
