trees, 400 of which are in the fullest kind OF

ST. Augustine News: Little Jack Corbett
had narrow escape from death yesterday IN
Buena Esperanto. The little fellow was play
ing outside of his home when mare, which
was grazing near by with her colt made a
dash for him. The child tried to get into Mr..
Canfelds yard, but the mare was too quick
and bit him over the eye: The frightened
lad turned and tried to get into his own yard,
when the animal bit him again on the cheek
At this point Mrs. COrbett rushed out just In
time TO save the child, Jack was not much
hurt, but badly frightened. Such vicious
animals should be kept In Enclosures and not
allowed to run on public highways
The Manatee River journal evidently does
not appreciate the government work now
going on at the mouth Of the Manatee river.
In its last issue 1t says: 1t IS our opinion,
shared by many others. that 5000 is being
next TO wasted in the mouth Of the Manatce
river. The dredge's powerful pumps suck up
sand and mud from the channel and deposit It
forty feet from where IL was dug out and a
few subsequent tides will sweep II back where
it was before. The government is not very
lavish with It's appropriations in this vicinity.
Another sum Of this size win not be secured
soon again, and to see this appropriation
thrown away In this manner is an unfortunate
sight"
