Acting Marshal Minis arrested a man
by the name of Jas. Ledbetter Sunday
for being drunk and asleep on the street.
He was placed in the town calaboose un-
I'll the next morning, when he was fined
Sl.O0 and costs before ActiDg-Mayor
Walker, who held municipal court on ac-
count of the absence of Mayor Penney
from town. This was Councilman Walk
er's first term of court during the four
years time he has served as chairman of
the town council. Ledbetter is a miner
from North Alabama who had been in
town about three days. He left Monday
foY parts unknown. He made diverse
and sundry groans and strenuous noises
Sunday afternoon in the calaboose as his
jag was beginning to wear off. He
thanked the acting mayor for letting him
off light, stating that he had been served
much worse than this at other places.

A Serious MiShap.

One of the bridge gang by the name of
Smith narrowly escaped being killed
Saturday by the lever of hand car strik-
ing him on the head. This occurred
near the curve just above town. Smith
was sitting down on the car which was
running quite fast, consequently the
hand lever was flying up and down very
rapidly. He undertook to reach under
the lever to get cigarette paper when
the lever struck him on the back of his
head, forcing his head down and driving
his face against the car, knocking out
two teeth and fracturing his jaw. The
back of his head struck the hand of the
man who was pumping the car, by the
name of Bird, and broke the latter's fin
ger. DIR. Wilson says Birds finger may
necessitate amputation. He also believes
that Birds hand striking Smiths head,
instead of the handle, probably saved
Smiths skull being fractured. The
wounded men were sent Immediately to
the hospital at st. Augustine.

A timely and appropriate speech was
first made by Milford B. Hereby, repre-
senting the South Florida and Gulf Coast

A great many ladies were present and
the honor of driving the first stake was
accorded Mrs. Belle Evans, wife of E. l..
Evans, and daughter of the Hon. Francis
Atkins. Refreshments were served after
the speeches and stake driving, and the
engineers and surveyors started on their
work in good earnest.

A WOman's Long Walk.

The Jacksonville Metropolis states that
Mrs. Jennie McQuiston, of Xenia, Ohio,
will arrive in Jacksonville this week,
having travelled the entire distance on
foot. She is one of the most popular
women of Xenia, and makes the journey
in this way merely for the novelty of it.
She is EN- route to the home of her father
in-law: Hugh McQuistOn, at st. Peters
burg. She is now at Canton, Ga, where
she is disabled by sprained ankle, hav-
ing suffered fall, and is taking a rest
after her long journey to that point.
When she left Nenia she wore a short
skirt and carried a small amount OF cloth
ing and had revolver, which she knows
well how 10 use, being a capital shot.
She had thrilling experience while 60
ing through the mountains of Kentucky,
being looked upon with suspicion by the
moOnshiners, who suspected of her being
in the revenue service OF the government.
She makes distance of from fifteen to
twenty-five miles day, and has enjoyed
every mile of the way. She gets her
lodging where she happens to strike a
farm house, which at some points on the
route were few and far between. She
has written several letters to her friends
in Jacksonville and has narrated a num-
Der of amusing experiences.

Remains of a MastOdOn.
From the DeLand Record.

FROM the DeLanu Record.
Mr.. Smith, who drives the city wagon
taking shell from the city shell pit,
brought into the city this week the
broken parts of the leg of a mastodon,
dug up from the bottom of the shell pit.
When the pieces were put together it
measured feet inches, and all of il
was not there. So it is seen what beast
this was, and probably lived many thon-
sands of years ago. 1t was at least Is
feet high, and how long there was no
way of telling.
Several times since this pit was opened
and while mining shell, the remains OF
these great animals have been discovered.
SJme of the petrified bones discovered
the other day were nearly foot in diam
ter. They can be seen around at the
NOlusia County Abstract Office, next to
the bank.

there were present but little more than
half the number of delegates required
to make a fun convention. out OF
total of l06 there were IS in attendance.
The amount of enthusiasm exhibited
was very modest in quantity, but
this is not surprising in view of the
utter hopelessness of the Democratic
cause in the county.
The delegates got together this morn
ing at 1.30 and in the unavoidable alb
sence of County Chairman John NJ.
Kelly. were called TO order by Miller S.
Allen. The usual committees were ap-
pointed and the convention then ad-
journed for dinner.
At . o'clock the delegates assem-
bled, hut there was a long wait be-
fore the committees were ready to re-
port
Roger s. Searle. of Montrose, was
made chairman, and J. O'Callahan, Of
Susquehanna; +. l.. Aldrich. of New

were the secretaries.
The vice presidents were Charles
Turrell, of Liberty; ]. A. Tinklepaugh,
Of Ararat; Frank Powers, of Lenox;
William Woodruff, of Harmony, and
y. - Ol II OTeSt Lake.
When Chairman Searle asked for
nominations for the Office of district
attorney, Mr.. Woodruff, from Lanes
boro. suggested the name of John ID.
Miller, of Thompson, a lawyer of ac-
knOwledged ability, who made losing
fight for the state senate against Audi
tor General Hardenbergh few years
ago. There was no other name pre-
sented and by motion the secretary
was instructed 10 cast a ballot for Mr.
Miller, and as that gentleman was not
in town and therefore could not de-
cline the empty honor, he was de-
clared the nominee of the party for dis
trict attorney.
J. G. Wheaton, Of Franklin, was in
like unanimous manner made the can
didate for county surveyor Mr.. Whea-
ton, like Mr.. Miller. was not in town
and his wishes in the matter could not
be consulted.
The most attractive feature of the
convention was vigorous and earnest
speech by Miller s. Allen, In which he
very frankly urged that if dissatisfied
Republicans. in county and state, could
he induced TO aid the Democrats this
year i'm sufficient numbers to accom-
plish Republican defeat, it would pave
the way for the election of a Demo-
cratic governor next year.
Chairman Searle made a brief speech
in similar vein and predicted dire
disaster 10 the Republican party.
After providing for the filling Of va
cancies on the ticket (that are very
likely TO occur) the annual assemblage
