"BURIED" ALIVE.
ExSalesman is Annoyed by Imitator. "IT IS NOT ETHICAL." CHICAGO, August 15. A former salesman, Lester Mcfntyre, is annoyed. He climbed into a coffin on August 2 and was buried in a grave where he intends to remain for 40 days. Now a former taxi-driver, Oscar Atkins, is trying the same endurance test. "It is not ethical," complained Mclntyre through the slender shaft down which the public are paying 10 cents for peeps at him. "Still, lam not worrying. Atkins is not a professional."
Mclntyre has fresh flowers placed on his grave daily but Atkins prefers his original faded wreath.
