Ooala Daily News: Several weeks ago
Z. c. Chambliss missed several chickens
and finally decided to stop further ras-
cality He hired a trusted negro man and
paid him H.25 a night until the bill had
reached SIG. But Mr.. Chambliss was re-
warded at last. About u o'clock Friday
night the Waterman heard a noise in the
neighborhOod of the coop, and after get
ting a bead on it saw one negro on top of
It and another with a bag. He let fly full
double barrel load of bird shot at the fell
low on top, who jumped and ran. Both
got away. but it is believed one Of them
is badly hurt.
Ocala Daily News: Just when the guests,
boarders and family at Hotel Gates were
enjoying the evening meal a heavy fall
and a terrific scream was heard emanat-
ing from an adjoining room. Everybody
rushed into the room, George Phillips with
pistol in hand thinking burglars or
thieves were trying to steal the baby.
When they reached the scene they discov-
cred the cradle upside down and a three
weeks old boy lying on the hearth close
to a blazing fire. Fortunately the cradle
turned in such a manner as to protect the
child from the heat. The cradle was
turned over by little girl.
Tavares fIerald: The daily papers OF
last Saturday contained an account of
the arrest of J. w. Lee of Fort Mason,
this county, on a charge of selling liquor
without paying the government tax. The
article states that Lee is a county COM
missioner of Lake county and was
candidate for county judge and had been
strongly Endorsed for the office. All Of
the latter part is a grave mistake. Lee
is not county commissioner and has
never been candidate for county judge,
his only position being that of postmaster
at Fort Mason. We make this correction
in Justice to all concerned, as Lake coun-
tvs officials are not such as to be guilty
of selling whisky without license.
Sumterville Times: On Sunday the citi-
zens of Panasoffkee and vicinity We're
very much shocked to learn of the death
of Capt. S. L. Green, which occurred at
the residence of Charles Robinson at
about noon Capt Green was one of
Sumters pioneer citizens, and one of
the first men to operate a steamboat on
the Withlacoochee river and Lake Pana-
soffkee, in which business he was en-
gagged when death came. He has been
lWiC6 UdIIltQ SilltG tOlnlil6 ~ TINS StA-
ton. His first wife was a daughter of
A. c. Dixon and died about eighteen
months ago, leaving him four children,
son and three daughters, who still sur
vive him. His second marriage proved
an unhappy one and caused a separation
after a short period of married life.
Louis Capella was granted decree Of
divorce from his wife, Emma Capella,
by Judge Call in the chambers at Jack
Esridau and tharahN hangs q q 10
Louis has been after this degree for some
time, and had he received 1t sooner all
would have been well. Louis loved a Miss
Rolleston and wished to marry her, but
could not do so until a divorce from his
wife was received, and Miss Rolleston
had promised to be his wife as soon as
he was a free man. Time wore on, how
ever, and Louis was still in the bonds,
and the outlook was none too cheerful.
In the meantime Louis brother, Mamie,
appeared in the field. and Immediately
sued for the affections of the fair one,
and was successful. Louis during this
time was still working for his freedom,
and thinking all the while that Miss
Rolleston would wait for him. Not so,
however, Mamie had by this time made
great Roadway into the affections of the
young lady, and one evening about two
months ago they We're married. Thus,
Louis, though now free to marry whom
he chooses, lost all by the slowness of the
courts.
Tampa Times: Little CASTOR Phares
has now chance for life He coughed
up the orange seed Saturday morning
about o clock through the opening made
in his windpipe, much to the JOY of his
mother and the satisfaction of his physi-
clan. Mrs. Col. Phares brought the lit
tie boy from Sumterville last Thursday,
Dec. 10, for DIR. Wall to extract an or
ange seed which had lodged in his wind
pipe the day before. DR.. Wall found
the little sufferer coughing considerably
and located the seed in the left bronchial
tube, where it had produced almost COM
plete occlusion of that tube. II was a
matter of grave doubt whether an opera
ton would prove successful, but as it
was the childs only chance of life, his
mother consented, and assisted by DIR.
/ Stebbins, DR.. Wall performed the oper-
alton of tracheotomy. He hoped that in
/ coughing the child would eXpel the seed
/ through the opening in the windpipe If
he was not able to extract it. He probed
/ for il several times without success and
! finally left it 70 nature with the most graf
| flying success. The wound will be closed
| The child has had fever and great diff
/ hculty in breathing, and his mother had
/ almost given up hope of his recovery.
