A Beautiful Compliment for Mrs. Ma


We had recently an opportunity to
make the acquaintance of a NOVELIST
of considerable fame, who has lived
in Ocala, for many years, Mrs. Beat
rice Marean, the wife of a well-known
physician of that city. Mrs. Marean
has written a number of novels that
have had a wide sale. The first one
published, "The Tragedies Of Oak
hurst" is local in it's coloring and
intensely, interesting from start to
finish. Mrs. Marean Is pleasant lady.
like woman not yet much past forty,
if one may judge by appearances; has
a delightfully."- sozy home. and Is a
charming person to meet. The story
we have read is Of high moral tone
and one which once begun one will
not sleep until it is finished. The
heavy william in it so closely repro
duced a well-known rich man of Ocala
that, his lawyer forbade Mrs. Marean
to publish it. She, however, paid no
heed to his threats. A number of
pleasant books have been written,
founded on Florida facts, but none
more attractive, that we have seen,
than the Tragedies of Oakhurst-Ar-
cadia Champion.

BUNCOEDF0R
$50

A smooth bunco game was work
ed at the Northern Pacific depot
this morning by an unknown man
who accosted e. c. Tucker, en-
route home to Arkansas, with the
request for match.
I'm much disturbed" suavely
remarked the stranger, about some
express matter l have in the bag
gage room here and l find 1t too
late to get this $1,000 draft cashed."
Tucker, quite naturally, sympath.
lied with the stranger, who had
not the appearance of a bunco
steerer. The two got quite friendly
in about five minutes, Tucker be-
ing the recipient Of a good cigar
during that time and had confided
much Of his history to the stranger,
who finally asked for the loan Of
$50.
Sure" said the good natured and
gullible man from Arkansas and
he handed that sum over while
the stranger Immediately started
for the baggage room. This he
walked through and kept going
while Tucker waited. After awhile
1t suddenly Gawned upon him that
he was the victim Of one of the
bunco games he had read so much
about.
He searched the depot for his
stranger, and then missed his train
so as to further continue the
search.
The matter was reported to the
police this morning.

Wait UN TIL
CHILD IS
KILLED

Why has the school board order.
ed a portable schoolhouse for the
Southside Cable addition and left
Mckinley school pupils exposed to
the dangerous railroad crossing in
the vicinity of Medelia street?
Numerous complaints have been
made to the school board by people
who are compelled to send their
children to the Mckinley school
across a network of tracks that en-
danger their lives daily, but the
board simply answered that there
was no more money available for
school building purposes.
But Tuesday night the board
somehow found means to buy
portable school for the Southside
Cable addition at an expense of
s6S7.
There is something very peculiar
about the action Of the school
board all through the Mckinley
school controversy. Complaints are
totally ignored and it seems that
the board wants to "see someone
killed" with their own eyes before
acknowledging that dangers exist.
Residents who are forced to ex-
pose their children are preparing to
keep them out Of school, even il
they are forced to submit to prose-
cution under the truancy laws and
the board is promised a merry time
before the controversy is finished.
Secretary Thomas says this por-
table schoolhouse was ordered be-
cause there Is no school in that Sec
ton of the city and there are lot
Of children who will be benefited.
Shielding children from flying cars
Is evidently not included in the
secretary's classification of bene-
Ats.
Asked If there was any likelihood
of a portable being put up in the
vicinity of the Mckinley school so
children would not be compelled to
cross the IL car tracks, Thomas
said:
II do not know that any children
have been killed there and nothing
will be done until the Mckinley
school is overcrowded. There are
not enough funds left this year
to build new school on this side
OF the tracks near Mission street,
and If one was built the district
would have to be bonded.
Mr.. Thomas advanced the theory,
too, that II any relief was given the
residents in the Mckinley district
and a portable erected it would
have to be on rented ground.

DYERS DO BATTLE BUT NOBODY DIES

PREACHED the new works and stared
very much at the Beauchet family
gathered in front. Mrs. Beauchet
saws him and told Lean, who said
he thought Lassareau came over to
lick him, as per letter. Leon ad-
vanced upon Lassareau, who dotted
his coat, rolled up his sleeves and
prepared for battle. Leon was &C.
commodating likewise and they
wrestled and punched themselves
all over the street to the delight
Of a large crowd of people that
had gathered.
Finally Beauchet went out and
stopped Leon and Lassareau, who
assessed their damages equally.
The case was too intricate for JUS
tices Hinkle so he dismissed it with
some advice about family quarrels
getting into police court.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-08-02

A case that confronted Justice of
the Peace Hinkle this morning
would have puzzled the judicial
ability of Solomon.
One 8. Lassareau, dye works
proprietor, yesterday caused the
arrest of Leon Beauchet, an en-
ploye of another dyeworks, for
threatening to kill him. In court
it developed that the trouble COM
menced when the Beauchets, Mr..
and Mrs. ]. D. and Leon, came from
San Francisco at the request Of
Lassareau, who housed them, and
in the meantime tried to negotiate
a deal for the sale of his place.The
Beauchets thought the price too
high and started a dyeworks of
their own at 1913 Riverside avenue,
but before they moved the families
came to blows and Lassareau
struck Beauchet on the nose, warp
ing it so badly that he fell and hurt
his leg. Mrs. Beauchet came to
the rescue and bounced some glass
ware off Lassareau's head, which
ended hostilities for the time be-
ing.
When the new dyeworks started
Lassareau is said to have written
letter to his rivals apologizing for
the injuries inflicted by him upon
the nose of Beauchet, but closing
the letter with the remark that
Leoon was baby and he could lick
him in two minutes. That was
July 25. On July 81 Lassareau ap.
