dav morning he crew OF the tow boat Francis
Beidler owned by Albert f. Dewey. of the
Charlotte harbor Sevedore and Llghterage
Company, were awakened by smoke, arts
Ing somewhere from within the boat and
upon investigation IL was found that a SmOul-
deriDg fire was burning ali over the lower
portion Of the vessel. Heroic efforts were
made to extinguish the slowly burning blaze,
but all to no avail The boat being con
structed of such hard pine wood, and the ire
having gained such 1OOtbOld, it was impoS-
81 lie to do anything with it. About $50 a. m,
the whole vessel was on ire and the flames
could easily be seen from Punta Gorda.
Attempts were made to tow the boat
nearer to shore after it was seen that
there were no hopes of saving it, but II soon
sunk. The boat was not worth more than
$4,000. but had cost Mr.. Dewey considerably
mora than this. he having spent about 5000
or 5000 repairing it last Summer. The
amount Of ms trance is not known, out 1t Will
not perhaps cover more than half the valle
OF the boat. Mr.. Dewey Immediately boarded
a train for Pensacola where he will purchase
another towboat. Three trampS for cargoes
OF phosphate ale expected to arrive next
week assigned TO his company, but Mr.. Dewey
will no doubt, be equal to the emergency.
Frank A Walpole, editor of the Sumter
County Vidette, of Wildwood, in Sumter
county, filed in the clerk Office Friday a bill
in chancery .ainst f. L. Rutland, tax col
lector and Walter Graham, one or the pup
fishers of the sumter County Times. The
bill alleges that Rutland had promised
the DELINQUENT tax list of 1893 TO
the Vldette. but that he has, or is,
about to award the list TO the Times, and asks
that Rutland be made TO stand by his prom
Use and that an injunction be issued against
him to prevent his delivering the list to era
ham, and that iraham he en- oined from re-
celving and publishing the same. The list
has however, 0een delivered, and the typos
are putting it into the forms OF the Times
4 he case will, no DOUBT lie an interesting one.
as it is thought both sides will fight to finish.
