Orlando Reporter: Capt J. Milton
Bryan and another gentleman recently
purchased a flock of sheep and brought
them to pasture below Kissimmee. The
dogs and hogs of some neighboring farmers
got in among the sheep and speedily de-
voured nearly all the lambs. Capt. Bryan
asked 20 have the dogs and hogs kept
away from his sheep. Pleadings were
wasted words in effect upon such people
as he had TO deal with. He could not get
satisfactory redress for damages to his
sheep. Patience ceased to be "a virtue,
and IL is said that the number of such dep
redating dogs and hogs was speedily re-
duced, and Capt. Bryan is accused OF hav-
ing set poison for them. Those people
whose dogs and hogs had so suffered then
formed a plot to take Capt Bryan's life
under cover of darkness. Two attempts
by members of this clique have already
been made by prowling about his home
below Kssimmee in the hope of seeing him
move about in the house and shoot him
Fortunately he was not at home at either
time he having gone TO Jacksonville on
business, without any foreknowledge Of
the pot 10 take his life. Now there is a
rigid night watch at his home, and no one
dares TO go about there after nightfall.
Back OF all this Is an old political grudge,
and there are certain men among the re-
pubncans and others of Osceola county
who ask for nothing more pleasant TO them
than to have Capt. Bryan forever remov-
ed from among them, dead or alive, he hav-
ing led the democrats In the great trian-
gular row last year and made matters so
unpleasanty warm for the former, and
now somewhat more caustc for the 9TH
ers Capt. Bryan once represented
Orange and Osceola counties in the state
Senate.
