CHIEF OF POLICE ARRESTED.

Tampa Herald George Shearhouse,
chief of police of Fort Brooke, was ar
rested and placed in the county Jail
by Marshal j. j. Stephens Tuesday
afternoon on charge of highway rob
berry The fact has been generally
talked in court circles for several
days, but has been kept out of print,
pending other developments. The facts
in the case are said to be as follows
Saturday night j. A. Caruthers, a liv
eryman of Clearwater, came to Tampa
for the purpose OF purchasing two
vehicles. He visited a Fort Brooke re-
sort, and during the evening called
for a drink and in paying for it ex-
hibited a large roll of money. He says
the drink produced sleepy effect, and
fearing he had been drugged, he left
the place in almost a Keeling condition
and sought refuge on a nearby porch.
The house was occupied by negroes,
who reported the fact to Shearhouse,
who was on duty, and he arrested
Caruthers and landed him in the Fort
Brooke Jail, first searching him for
weapons, etc. Caruthers soon fell into
a sleep and a few hours later walked
up and missed his money amounting
to 1907. He says he remembered at
once that Shearhouse had removed the
money previous to locking him up and
was shocked when the 4atter visited
the Jail next morning, and on being
asked for the money replied that he
had not seen it, Caruthers advised
Capt. John T. Lesley, Mayor of Fort
Brooke, of the case, and that official
placed a detective on the track Of
Shearhouse, who, as soon as Caruth-
ers left the city, began to spend money
lavishly, buying a suit of clothes, an
overcoat and a number of other things.

son and the couple was very much sur
prised when the former husband APP
peared on the scene last Thursday.
Simpson said he hailed from Virginia
on his second coming. When he
reached here Simpson heard that his
wife was married, but would not go
directly to see her. Coming in sight
of the house he sent word to the wom-
an that he was out there and the mes
sage was returned for him to come
into the house. He did so and said he
only wanted his children. Johnson said
the woman was Simpsons wife and he
must take her also. She went off with
husband No. 1, but he brought her back
later and told Johnson to keep her. He
refused to give her shelter and the
woman left with her first lover. All
the parties to this transaction are poor
and illiterate.

LEWIS NIxON's ROMANCE.

The New York Herald, speaking of
Mr.. Lewis Nixon, the new head OF
Tamany Hall, says there was quite a
romance in his marriage, which took
place twelve years ago. Mr.. Nixon
is the builder or designer of many of
the ships of the navy. His wife was
before marriage Miss Sallie Wood, and
was born in Florida, but later trans
planted to Washington. II was at a
ball, at Annapolis, where Mr. Nixon
was naval cadet. that they first met,
and one of the things Mrs. Nixon-then
Miss Wood-told to Mr. Nixon on that
evening was that she thought the
government ought to name one of its
vessels for her native state of Florida.
Mr.. Nixon said that it should be done,
even If he had to build the boat him
self. The promise made that night
came true last year, when on Nov. 30,
a monitor was launched at the Nixon
shipyard and christened Florida by
Mrs. Nixon herself.

DIsTILLERY ROW ENDS IN DEATH.

Eugene Rutledge, a young man
about % years of age, died at Thomas
ton Tuesday morning from the effect
of a wound received while engaged in
q difficulty at a distillery about a
mile from Thomaston, Jan. z. 1t APP
pears that Rutledge and man named
Maccan, while drinking. went to this
distillery, and after having been there
a short time became engaged in diff
ficulty with Hoyal, the proprietor. In
the general melee which followed Hoy
al, Maccan and Rutledge fell out of the
back door with Hoyal beneath. Mac
can was armed with a pair of brass
knucks, and was attempting to use
them upon Hoyal. Frank Pierce, a
negro, was standing nearby and seems
to have had no previous part in the
difficulty. However, when the three
white men had been gotten apart
Pierce struck Rutledge with a rock
in the right side of the head above
the ear, infiicting the wound, which
subsequently caused his death. The
negro escaped and has not been ar
rested.

SEED WHEAT IN DEMAND.

Macon Telegraph: Notwithstanding
the fact that more wheat was raised
in Georgia last winter than in any
year since the war, there is now such
a scarcity of seed wheat that
the merchants and dealers are
imploring the mill men for enough
to supply their customers. The price
of the wheat has ceased to be a con-
sideration. The open weather of the
past two weeks has caused every man
to pillow in grain as rapidly as he can
and to let cotton take care of itself.
Many of them will plant their cotton
after the wheat, and If any crop is to
be curtailed it will be that of cotton,
because of it's great cost of production.
The wheat. they figure, can be culti-
waited at small cost, and if twenty-five
bushels of wheat can be grown on an
acre of land the wheat will bring more
profit than a bale of cotton would
bring raised on the same acre. And
the labor question is solved by the
wheat crop and pea culture. One hand
can cultivate more land in either of
these crops than five hands can Guilt
Vate in cotton or corn.
