IAN exciting incident was enacted IN front
or the Inn hotel here Yesterday morning.
Capt. Rockwell of the United States man.
of-war Yantic, while crossing the railroad
tracks in front OF the Inn hotel, attempted
to leap upon the hotel stoop to avoid train
that came upon him unex pectedly. In do
ing 50 he missed his footing and fell at
full length few feet in front of the
train. Frank Loughman, young New
Yorker who has been here several
weeks as private secretary TO w. S. CHS
holm, was seated on the hotel porch at the
| time. Without a moments hesitation he
leaped down beside the PROSTATE captain
and dragged him ID one side just as the
| train rushed by them. The driving wheel
of the engine brushed Lougnmaa's coat. so
| narrow was his escape. The deed was done
| SO quickly that these on the hotsl porch
hardly knew what had happened, before it
was over. Capt. Rockwell thanked the
young man for saving his life, and when
Loughmaa's brave act became known he
was made the hero of the day."
Last Saturday night four weIl-known
young men of Jacksonville accepted the in
vitation of a suave aud geni Il stranger WHIP
had been in the city but a few days to drop
in at his room in the fourth story of one OF
the larger hotels and have quiet game of
| poker. The host of the occasion, during his
stay in the city, had made himself very
| popular among largs circle of young men,
and pleasant evening was anticipated But
the play became for higher stakes, and time
was UNDECIDED. From 9 in the evening
until 6 In the morning the cards went
| round, and one young man found himself
out OF pocket a good sized sum. He thought
he had been unfairly dealt with, and, after
a consultation with Chief Phillips, had the
stranger arrested on a charge of gambling.
But when he wa taken to police headquar-
ters the accuser weakened under the threats
and bulldozing OF crowd Of his compan-
ions, who seemed to sympathizs with the
prisoner, aud he finally withdrew the
| charge. Chief Phillips wished to hold the
man. but had to release him. and he left
town on the morning train of the following
| day.
