PARTIALLY HEARD IN THE DIS
TRICT COURT.

and imminently dangerous, came up in
the District Court before Judge Robert

George Woods was the first witness
called by the prosecution. On the stand

in the STAR at the time, until he got TO
the circumstances OF the shooting.
Then he said:

volver and a cowhide in his hand and
asked me il | was hit. said, Ger

up. We went into the room. White
put his watch on the table. shut the
doors and windows, and turned the lamp
up"
Further on he said he asked Wilder to
assist him out to the gate and was met
by a refusal. He says he has been at
the hospital since. Wound does not
pain him and is getting better. He con-
tinued to say that White was not drunk
at the time, but he smelled liquor.
Willie Wilder testified: son last
Thursday, p. m, saw White in his bill
lard saloon. He asked me to help him
find Woods. We got in buggy and
went to Woods house. Not finding
him there we drove up Emma, back
down again, and met Woods at the cor

him to get in. He refused. Told him
White wanted to speak to him, and he
went to the other side. White got out

Two miles south Of Gainesville is a
prairie. At certain seasons strangers
wonder why IL is called prairie "
for they Tool; ont upon broad stretch
of water So deep that storms chun its
surface into rolling white capped bill
lows. At times the commerce Of tho
lake is done by steamer. while At other
times there Is not water enough to float
canoe. In fact, | have crossed the
prairie in the steamer and again have
gone over idchtically the same route in
stage from whose wheels clouds of
dust would roll.
ON the edge of the prairie, half walled
in by rock, dense with immense trees
draped in long fcstnons of moss, is a
pool of water called "Thc Sink " The
depth of it has never been sounded.
From this sink an underground river
flows and makes its way no one knows
where Sometimes an acre or 50 Of
land, trees a.. all, Will fail into the
Underground rivcr, and then the drain
age of the prairie is obstructcd, and the
prairie goes dry. In "a year or two
the river will have sccped around the
obstruction, and then the prairie goes
wet. - In the neighborhood of Gaines
vile there are hundreds of the sinks,
all of them rs round as Il dollar and
averaging from quarter TO half acre
in extent
North # Gainesville is pretty and
mysterious spot called the Devils
Millhopper. A large stream Of water
comes down hill with considerable force
and disappears in IA pool that has no
visible outlet. Near Brooksville is an
other pool very similar to the Devils
Millhopper. " A stream of water pours
into it and disappears in whirlpool in
the center. Throw IA log in it, and it
will circle the pool many times, gradu-
ally drawing nearer to the center. Sud
denly the log disappears.
Some grewsome stories are connect
ed with the Brooksville pool II is said
that the place is haunted, for the reason
that many a man, and woman. too, has
mystcriously disappeared in it, never
TO be heard of afterward. In the pioneer
days of that part of the country, so the
stories go, there was secret society
which washed all its dirty linen in that
pool. In other words, if man or WON,
an gave grave Otfense to any members
of the society, he or she was gagged,
bound and in the darkness of night
thrown into the pool. Florida Times

y mild hammered man walked up
to the cage of an unshaved son of the
forest wearing among his other clothes
Il prehensile tail and face as solemn rs
a Wesleyan deacon of the old fashioned
type. The monkey was critically exam
lining peanut, wondering possibly
whether it would be worth opening
The man laid an innocent looking little
roll Of something on the outer ledge of
the cage. Now, monkeys curiosity is
only equaled by his avarice. He will
take anything in sight whether he wants
it or not. So the ring tailed resident of
the cage took this roll in. At first it
was not possible to see what he had ac-
quircd, but in an instant the mystery
was solved
He placed it once to his mouth and
took generous bite. 1t proved TO be
secondhand piece of chewing gum. As
he removed his paw a few onlookers
were well nigh thrown into spasms, for
the wax strung ont in an over dwindling
string, and as it drew away from him
the monkey surveyed the string calmly,
but curiOusly. If ever monkey assum-
cd an expression of heart consuming
bliss, it was that monkey. There was
just enough sugar in the pasty stuff TO
make it very palatable to him, and he
curled his tail, rolled his eyes upward
with an agonizing look and murmured
to himself, This is heaven to me. {"
But the wax under his emphatic treat
ment began to show signs of rebellion.
1t got warm and stuck in his paw, and
while he was trying to solve the prob
lem there encountered it locked his Jaws.
Then he began to yawn, and to pray for
a toothpick, and to wish for the man
who had given him the gum, but that
worthy was far away. Cincinnati Trib-

A New Native Police Ohfcer Commits
the Blunder
A new native police officer at the
Police station needs to be more careful
or he will sometime make costly
blunder. Wednesday night japanese
steward of the Philadelphia was posted
for breaking liberty. The officer in
question sailed forth to fetch in the
deserter, and arrested the first blue
jacket he met.
The sailor protested but was bundled
off to the Station house. The arrested
man was not japanese, but an Ameri-
can, sail maker on the Philadelphia.
He was liberated Immediately on
reaching the Station house, but had a
great deal to say about the outrage.
The trick will bear few repetitions.

BRUTALLY ASSAULTED.
MIR GIDEON WEST Is ATTACKED by
LAU TONG.
The Chinaman Grabs the Dollars and
Knocks His Creditor Down
Others Interfere.

Mr.. G.. West was brutally assaulted
and beaten by Chinaman Lau Tong
about $40 o'clock Wednesday after
noon. The affair occurred in the
office of the Club Stables. The circum-
stances as told by West and others are
about as follows:
Before West sold out he took car
riage from Lau Tong for repairs. The
work was finished and the bill amounted
to about 500. Wednesday afternoon
the Chinsman went to Vests house
and asked the latter to go with him
down town and deliver him the vehicle
as he needed it and had the money to
pay for the work. Mr.. West complied
and the two went together to the office
of the Club Stables. Here Lau Tong gave
Mr.. West the sum of $54 and stated
that he would pay the remainder later.
Mr.. West did not feel disposed to trust
the fellow, so told him he would re-
ceipt for the amount offered and de-
liver him the property when the balance
| of the bill was pald.
At this the Chinaman became furious
and, jumping up, grabbed handful OF
! silver dollars and struck the old man a
fearful blow on the side OF the head
Mr.. West staggered forward and the
Chinaman followed him up, giving hin
two vicious blows in the face which

Lion Nerve Tonic.

in this case there is so much Of what is Of
vast Importance to the general public that
we depart from our usual custom.
Lion Tonic is an advance in medical
science that has developed most wonderful
results and conditions; since il has rroved
that the dread disease spiplepsy-sO long
pronounced lnOurRble-yields readily 10
scientific treatment. This is no idle state
menb; intelligent physicians everywhere
now OonCede that che nervous terror Of Che
ages is q durable disease, while hundreds Of
testimonials from people Of prominence
testify to the wonderous cures Lion Nerve
Tonic Restorative has effected. This is
what has made the reputation of the rem
Ody, though the efficacy in the cure of less
dreaded nervous affections is none the less
wonderful.
The remedy is free from all poisonous
drugs, does not contain opiates, nor is re-
lance placed upon ordinary toniCs Of iron,
quinine, StryChnine, etc., but is composed
of the puresb and most costly drugs known
10 the medical profession.

Banks Don't Have TO Pay.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-COmmissione Of
Internal Revenue Miller said to-day that
the defeat of the Brswley bill, to relieve
certain Southern corporations from the
penalties incurred in the issue Of ''sorip or
so-oalled money certificates" during the
financial sbringenoy last summer and fall,
would not result disastrously to anyone or
to the government.
The attorney general rendered the opin-
ion last fall, on samples Of the alleged
money submitted TO him, that they were
not subject TO thetax, and on that statement
Of the case, all efforts ON the part OF the in
ternal revenue officers to collect the tax or
ascertain how much Of the so-called money
certificates or scrip had been issued, ceased.
The above is clipped from the Atlanta
Journal.
Our readers will remember that the
farmers of Kansas established an ex-
change in Topeks, and proposed to is
sue certificates similar to those issued
by the banks.
The United States authorities legged

and declared that such certificates would
