impro ssion. for the burden of his plant
was that he had bought the goods bat
big fat man still held the articles
To clinch matters, Captain Pratt had
the goods carted to storage and went his
way. He maintained that as there were
back taxes, he, under the law, was en-
titled to seize goods on the premises and
hold them. In fact before the day closed,
he had arranged fer the selling OF the
seized articles next week by the same
auctioneer who sold them yesterday. On
the other hand the mortgagee's attorneys
insisted that the goods were not in the
possession of the mortgagor and could
not be taken by the assessor. In the
meantime. Auctioneer Morgan paid over
to the MORTGAGE. for whom he made the
sale. the money received for the uncon-
tested sales. He did not turn over the
money from the Japanese, as he was not
clear that the man knew that he was
buying a law suit. so he holds that sum
OF SO as trustee for the Japanese. The
latter Is the only man who has nothing
out of the transaction. for he Is out
his cash and has no goods to show for it
There has been no decision made as to
the course to be pursued by the mort
gagees. but they may try and hold Pratt
responsible for his acts and sue to re-
cover the amount OF the goods which he
took from the store. 1t Is believed that
Pratt has plenty to make good the back
taxes. amounting to $780,

THE Second PRIMARY.
Jefferson B. Browne Wins Tor R. R.
Commissioner.
John P. Wall for the Legislature.
Strickland and Rogers are the
New County Commissioners.

There was little to indicate that q
primary election was on in Palatka
Tuesday. The vote was light, and
there was an absence of anything
like excitement. But 149 votes were
recorded in the city for the legisla-
tive candidates, of which number
Chesser received 7S and Wall Il.
Several of the precincts in the
western part of the county polled a
heavy vote, that at precinct 10 being
heavier than in the first primary.
In this precinct Wall won by a ma
iority of 66 over Chesser.
Mr.. Chesser carried 13 precincts,
Mr.. Wall IL, and one precinct (0)
was tie. Mr.. Chesser's precincts
and majorities were as follows: No.
|, "A; No. 2, 8; No. 3, 8; No. 4, 5; No.
6, B; No. 7, s; No. 13, 3; No. IA, 8;
No. IS, 4; No. %, II; No. %, 3; No.
24, 8; No. 25, II.
Mr.. Walls eleven precincts with
his majOrities We're as follows: No.
5, |; No. 8, /; No. 8, 8; No. IL, Z;
No. II, II; No. l5, IL; No. IL, Is; No.
Is, 40; No. 10, 66; No. 20, 8; No. 81, 6.
The total vote for members of the
Legislature in the county was 66S, of
which Mr.. Wall received 374 and Mr..
Chesser 294, giving Mr.. Wall the
election by majority OF 80.
For Railroad Commissioners, Mr..
Browne had it all his own way.
There was perfect landslide in the
direction of the Key West gentle
man. His vote in this county was
472, while that for Mr.. Day was but
IA.
Mr.. Strickland was elected coun-
ty commissioner over Mr.. Varnes in
the fourth district by majority of
SO.
Mr.. Rogers in the 9th district was
elected over Mr.. Baker by a nlajori-
ty of ll9.
Ihese nSufes while probably cor
rect are not official, the vote having
not at this time been officially can
vassed. Next week the News hopes
to put them in table form for the
benefit of those who would preserve
the record.
The News congratulates the win
ming candidates, and doesn't feel
very sorry for the defeated ones.
There are something's in this life
which beat public office. Let us all
go after someone of them; and let all
democrats get together now and
vote as unit for the ticket made by
a legal majority of our voters, in No

HEN MAY ENTER U. S. SERVICE

Through the efforts of Mrs. Henry
Marsh, of Nunda, N, Y, the United
States government is in a fair way to
obtain a civil service hen.
The geological survey, a week ago
made requisition on the civil SER
vice commission for a hen that could
be guaranteed to lay an egg every
day. The artists of the survey use
the yolks in their work, and half in
earnest and half in sport applied to
the commission for a hen of regular
habits in order that they might be
assured of the yOlk of a fresh egg
every day. The news of this requi-
sition got abroad, and many offers of
hens were made, but none was ac-
compahied by a guarantee of an egg
a day until Mrs Marsh came to the
'front.'.
She says that her hen win not only
lay an egg every day, but some days
will lay g double egg, the outside be-
ing of soft shell and completely en-
veloping a regular egg.
Negotiations will at once begin,
and if the Marsh hen lives up to the
guarantee of her owner she will be
bought for the survey.

LOCHINVAR IN KENTUCKY

After striving in vain for year to
gain her fathers consent, William
Jewell, Il young farmer of Mumford-
vile, KY, armed himself and with
two comrades waylaid the family
coach on it's way to church and took
from it by force his sweetheart, Miss
Estelle Mcdonald. Mcdonald drew
his revolver and attempted to shoot
Jewell, but the weapon snapped,
whereupon Jewell drew his gun and
deliberately fired three times at the
man whom he proposed to make his
father-in-law. Neither shot took eff
feet, but the firing, together with the
fact that JEWELS two friends also
drew their guns, served to stop the
irate father, and the young men sue
ceeded in getting away with the girl.
The girl is only l3 years old.

ADVENTURE OF A BABE

The 2-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Scalf, near Millersville,
Indiana, wandered from home the
other evening, and shortly after 8
o'clock next morning was found by
anxious searcherers. half dead from
hunger and cold, in a cattle shed at
tached to a dairy half mile distant
She was crOuching against tree,
while half hundred and more COWS
stood around, chewing their cud and
watching the little waif with much
curiosity. There was a heavy rainfall
during the night, and the little tot
half lay, half crouched in a pool of
mud and water, clothed in a little
gingham slip, which was mud-cover-
ed and watGr-soaked. Mud incrust-
ed her arms and face, and her ap-
pearance was most pitiful, but the
little one gave merry little laugh
when eager arms snatched her up,
and the dirty, undiscovered baby was
showered with kisses, while a great
shout, taken up by the hunters far
and wide, proclaimed the tidings for
miles around.

ing a note saving that he was dis
