C. H. WiIlett manager of the Zumo
Pharmaceutical Company of St. Louis,
arrived at St. Augustine Tuesday to con-
fer with Mr.. Ingraham of the land de-
partment of the Florida East Coast rail-
way in relation to the establishment Of
a factory somewhere along the east coast
for the manufacture Of pineapple ex-
tracts. and for making other uses of the
fruit for medicinal purposes. Mr.. Wtllett
possesses a formula for making a medi-
cine from the juice of the pineapple that
is claimed by him TO be an infallible rem
edy for diphtheria and other diseases.
Mr.. Willett Is now on tour of the
east coast to select a site for the fac

The case of A. NJ Ingersou. charged
with violating section 2461 of the Revised
Statutes by cutting timber off govern
ment land, was taken up and tried in
the United States court at Jacksonville
Monday. The defendant operated a saw
mill at Bostwick, Putnam county, and
the land off which the timber was cut is
in Putnam county. The evidence against
the defendant was strong but Attorney
A. H. King made a. good showing and a
strong argument for his client. The jury
was only out a short while and brought
in a verdict of guilty and found the
value of the timber cut to be $S125. The
penalty under the statute is a fine not
exceeding three times the value of the
timber cut and imprisonment not ex-
ceeding twelve months. The court did not
pass sentence, and 1t is very likely that
a motion for new trial will be made.
