Gus and interesting facts developed"
said County Clerk Hare. Zone is that
the social democrats will probably
elect a few city officers at the next
municipal election, and another is the
fact that a fair proportion of the So
cial democrats cut the head of their
ticket to vote for La Toilette. The
social democratic candidate for gov
ernor ran behind his ticket in many
of the wards, the vote for the others
of the social democratic candidates
running about even all the way. This
showed that Governor La Toilette
was the only man the social demo-
Gratis wished to take no chance on"

letters and kilograms stating that re
ports published in this country about

PuIIOn House
IS ACCUSED OF TRYING TO BURN
THAT HOTEL LAST JANUARY.
The Preliminary Hearing now on Be.

Room Packed with the Elite
of Palatka.
of Palatka.

Sheriff Howell went to Jackson
vile last Monday and arrested Will
liam Cato, the well-knOwn hotel
man and former manager of Palat-
ka's great hotel-the Putnam House
who is charged with an attempt to
burn that hotel on the Goth of Janu-
ary last. The warrant charging Mr..
Cato with intention to commit this
crime is sworn out by DR.. A. NJ.
Steen, president of the city council,
and S. j. Kennerly, the well-knOwn
hardware merchant, and treasurer OF
Putnam County.
Sheriff Howell, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Cato, arrived in Pa
latka Monday afternoon and were
Immediately driven to the court
house where Mr. Cato was formally
arraigned and gave bond for his APP
pearance at Il preliminary eNnnlina-
ton fixed for Wednesday morning.
The examination of witnesses for
the prosecution is being conducted
by Judge f. f. Haskell, Hon. b. T.
Calhoun and Hon. 5. j. Hilburn.
Mr.. Catto's interests are being
guarded by Hon. Alexander ST.
Clair-Abrams.
The preliminary examination be-
gan before Justice RowtOn in the
circuit court room yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. During the day
some five or six witnesses were eX-
amined, but no evidence was adduc'
ed tending to fasten the crime on Mr.
Cato. At six o'clock last night the
court adjourned until nine this morn
ing. when the examination of Other
witnesses will proceed.
A noticeable feature of the case is
the large attendance of ladies anC
prominent business men-Of people
who rarely, if ever, enter q court
room. This is accounted for by the
high character of the accused anC
the very general belief in his limo
cence of the crime of which he
stands charged. During his manage
ment of the Putnam House, Mr.. anC
Mrs, Cato entertained the society
people of Palatka with many recep
tiOns, balls and other functions of I
social nature, and now. in their houl
of trouble, society is standing by
them nobly.
On the other hand the character
of the men who bring this accusation
must be considered. They are among
the leading men of the city. They
are not men to lightly enter i'll
to a prosecution of this kind. and i
is presumed that they have weighed
carefully what they are now doing
1t is just possible that their attor
news have reserved their trump care
for to-day, and that they may lay be
fore the court line of evidence tina
will change the present feelings o
the people. Up to the present the
public has been kept in the dark re-
garding the charactero of the evidence
to be submitted, and it awaits will
almost brvathless interest for devel
opments.
During the investigation Mrs
Cato sits beside her husband within
the bar rail.
