Tuesday morning Sheriff Bowman of
BreNard county arrived at jacksonville
from Titusville with a warrant. issued by
NJ s. Jones' court commissioner. for Marie
Rice a pretty little girl of years alleged
to be illegally held by Mrs. Lizzie f. Rice.
The warrant was issued upon the petition
of e. IL Rice, father of the child. Deputy
Sheriff Thames and Sheriff Bowman went
out to execute the warrant, and found the
little girl at AZ West Duval street with
her mother, and the child and mother went
to the sheriff's office where Mrs. Rice had
a consultation with her attorney, f. w.
Pope, and ii was decided to make no re-
sistance to the child's departure but to
await the final action of the case now
pending in the circuit court at Jackson
| Vile. From what could be learned the
trouble arises from the fact that the hus-
band and wife have separated, and both
want the little girl.
Arcadia Arcadian: Arthur Pew. chief
engineer in charge of the construction of
the standard guage railroad now being
built by the Peace River Pebble Phosphate
| Company, was in Arcadia a few days ago
on business connected with the road. He
| says that the road has been completed
/ from Liverpool to Hull, and the gap which
/ will connect that portion already COM
! plsted with the road from Arcadia, will be
/ laid just as soon as the steel rails arrive
/ Phosphate shipments from Hull will be
/ made over the company's railroad in a
very short time, and from Arcadia at an
! early day. The road is standard guage,
| well constructed. and Is a private enter
| prise. 1t will be used by the Peace River
| Pebble Phosphate Company exclusively,
| unless something should turn up in the fu-
/ ture to change the policy Of the company.
/ The loss of the phosphate freights will be
! felt by the Plant system as the money
paid for hauling rock from Arcadia and
! Hull to the Long Dock at Punta Gorda,
per annum, has reached enormous figures.
! To General Manager H. NJ. Conner, Jr.,
much OF the credit for the building of this
new road is due. Although a private line
now it may yet prove to be a connecting
/ link in one of Florida's great railways.
