west end. The department with its
usual prOmptness, responded quickly
and within twenty minutes time had
the fire completely extinguished,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
blaze had gotten good start. The
scene of the excitement was the cot

Oak and Laurel occupied by the
family of Mr.. Breeland. The fire.
men deserve a whole lot of praise for
the manner in which they did their
work. The damage 10 the house is
slight All the household effects
were saved, but the damage to them
by water amounts to a great deal. as
the home had just been newly fur
nished. A defective flue is supposed
to have been the origin of the fire.

Sheriff Howell and under sheriff
Kennerly went down in the neigh
borhoOd of Bridgeport last Monday
and surprised some men who Were
caught in the act of taking logs from
state lands. All were arrested. d.
J. Green, James Butler, Wesley
Hughes and Richard Chase are ne
groes. w. A. Crews is the only
white man of the party. All were
assested and on a preliminary exam
ination before Judge Coke Tuesday
each was held ia the sum of 500 for
the circuit court. All gave the re-

The defense of the men is that
they thought they were getting the
timber from private land, and that
they had rights to it.

John w. Hagan Bankrupt.

John w. Hagan, through his at
tOrney, J. y. Blackwell, filed a petit.
ton in bankruptcy in the clerk S
office of the United States Court at
Jacksonville on Tuesday.
At ten o'clock in the morning OF
that day the doors of Mr.. Hagan's
saloon were closed and the last high
ball had passed over the bar.
Mr.. Hagan has been in the liquor
business on upper Lemon street for
the past two years. He was former
ly sheriff of this county and one OF
the most efficient and popular peace
officials in the state. He went into
the liquor business at the close Of his
official life for the purpose Of making
some quick" money, and always
with the idea of getting out Of it as
soon as he had accomplished his pur-
pose. For time his business pros
pered, but during the past spring and
summer Mr.. Hagan was in poor
health and could not give his bust
ness his personal attention. 1t has
been currently reported on the street
lately that he was losing money and
the event of Tuesday confirms that
rumOr.
Mr.. Hagan is a man Of generous
impulses and his gifts to charity
We're numerous. He was too good a
man for his business.
1t is not thought that his indebted
ness is great.

Bert Hudson, a young man of Hast
| ings, victim of the twin trouble.
drink and hard luck, cut his throat
with a razor last Monday afternoon
and died as a result Of the cash in a
short time after. Both the windpipe
and jugular vein were severed.
Hudson was n young man of some
education and was well liked at
Hastings where he had acted as
bookkeeper for Mr.. McClung. His
last job was as cook for a gang of
men employed in putting up tele-
phone poles between st. Augustine
and Palatka. He lost the job last
week and sought surcease from sor-
row in drink. Drink only made mat
tiers worse, and being tired of the
struggle he concluded no longer to
'grunt and sweat under a weary life
when he himself might his quietus
make with a bare bodkin.n The
bodkin not being handy, he took a
razor.
Whisky, trouble, remorse, hell;
these four, but the foundation of all

William L. Calhoun of this city.
who was last week appointed a mid
Shipman in the United States naval
academy at Annapolis, was one of
.Our of large class to receive ap-
pOintment. The larger part of the
class failed to measure up to the ply

mission. As Mr.. Calhoun's name
appeared first on the list it is pre-
sumed that he took first rank.
Hon. b. P. Calhoun feels that his
sons success is in large measure
due to the painstaking care of Prof

school, from which he was gradual
ed last spring. Also TO Misses Dunn
