A party whose name We were unable
to learn, is said to have jumped the
Coyote Spring, owned by the county.
he should be promptly jumped off again
and the pipe line from the spring, which
has been out OF repair for some time,
should be fixed up at once. The county
bought and paid for the spring, water
trough and pipe line at the time it pur
chased the toll road, and it is the bust
ness of the road overseer to see that the
water and pipe line are kept in repair
Transfers complain that they are com
PEELED to buy water at Coy yote Holes
and as the county owns the main spring
at that place, and bought the toll and
the water for the express purpose OF re
lieving the travelling public, and espec.
tally the freighters of this expense, and
as water for trains at that point is almost
a necessity, it would be an outrage to al.
low the water to be taken up and held
by some inscriptions person for the sole
purpose of selling it to the freighters.
We hope the Board of Supervisors will
investigate this In after at their next meet
ing and take steps to at once dispossess
Mr.. Jumper and have the water and
pipe line put in proper shape.

The marriage of Atty. Leopold Lauer
to Miss Gertrude Chase occurred at
p. m. Wednesday at the residence
of the groom's parents on south Michi-

The Bow, are IIappY.

Tampa, Fla, June 6.-TOnight the
guard line around Colonel Studebaker's
camp is supplied with ammunition,
and if another suspicious prowler creeps
through the palms he Will meet his end.
Early this morning one was detected
by guard near the water pipe leading
to the camp. A command to halt put
the interloper TO flight and Wagner
Currier chased him firing five shots
The guards had no cartridges. This,
coupled with mysterious pine tree fire
started near the camp on Sunday after
noon, led Colonel Studebaker TO take
extra precautions. Tampa is proving
TO be fine camping ground. Surgeon
Ireland. in charge of the division hos
pital is an old Indianapolis man. Gen
eral Hall, of Fort Sheridan trial fame,
is in command of the brigade now.
Not since the Indiana soldiers travel
ed to Mexico, generations ago, has a
body of warriors from that state taken
trip so full of novelties as the one
which landed the One-hundred- and
ffty-seventh Indiana in Port Tampa
last Friday. That night the Hoosier
lads rested their tired bones in dry
swamp where there is not level foot
of ground.
The boys made a rush to the salt
water. Dozens of the men. in their i'm
patience to reach the cooling waves,
merely threw off their knapsacks and
coats and thus dressed splashed across
the little lagoon and long strip of white
sand which was between them and the
sea. Thousands of soldier crabs were
lined up on the beach, and they went
madly scampering in all directions be-
fore the wild charge of the human sol
diers. Soft shell crabs and other vari-
eties of sea "varmints" were dispOrting
themselves OH the beach, but the warm
| HoOsiers had no time TO gather trOph-
| les. For many of the men it had been
a week or two since the luxury of a
bath was enjoyed. In jiffy hundreds
of Uncle Sans blue uniforms were ly-
ing in piles on the sand and rude fOrms
in countless wavering line buried
themselves under the warm water. At
this point in the coast line the beach
runs out gradually till chin depth is
reached half mile from dry land. Pre-
sently bobbing heads could be seen far
out towards the horizon, where the
more venturesome had gone to try their
skill and endurance in the deeper water.

blossoms fell off and the young peach
es began forming nicely and there were
so many of them that farmers believed
the branches would not be strong
enough to carry them when the fruit
began 20 reach maturity. But few
weeks ago the leaves on the lower
branches of the peach trees began to
curl up and the disease spread toward
the top of the trees until nearly all of
them were affected. The promising
young peaches soon showed signs of
the blight and today few are left TO
tell the story of the abundant crop that
was so promising but a few weeks ago.
