BURGLAR KILLED.

CHASED, FALLS 30 FEET,

Climbing up a drain pipe at the back of the house on Thursday night, a þurglar gained the second floor of No. 7, Queen's Road Central through the kitchen window. Groping his way noiselessly past the prestrate forms of a couple of sleeping servants, he drew back the bolt of the kitchen. door, and gained the interior of the house. One of the inmates, how- ever, happened to be still awake, and seizing the intruder, called out "thiet". The man struggled violently and managed to break away. He made a dash for the verandah followed by the excited inmates. Vaulting over the verandah rail, he landed on a narrow ledge from which a drain pipe led to the road below. He was about to slide down this when he lost his grip of the verandah ledge and fell thirty feet to the gutter below, smashing” his skull and breaking a leg. He died before the ambulance arrived.
