Gainesville Sun: There was a scene in
Judge Hollis court at Hague on Monday,
which will long be remembered by those
present. Uncle Arch Hague, for reasons
best known TO himself, asked the court to
suspend proceedings long enough TO allow
him to make a suggestion, and without
further ceremony proceeded TO say that il
he could find al artist and provide him
with a certain kind of material, he would
realize a fortune by having picture Of the
court painted. The suggestion was novel
one, and the painting, if executed as indi-
Gated, would certainly be valuable on ac-
count Of It's rarity.

entered the cars and stole tue express safe,
two trunks belonging to passengers,

garded as most remar K able. But it is never
theless true No arrests have yet been
