Mayor Bliss Explains How
City Got Title to the
Property.
sGAiMs THERE Is NO QUESTION
OF cITYs RIGHT TO STRIP BE.
TWEEN ALCANlZ AND FLORIDA
BLANCA, SOUTH OF THE NORTH
LINE OF MAIN STREET.
By Chas. n, Bliss.

The city of Pensacola was origi-
nally laid out by the English in 1765,
about one hundred and forty-one
years ago, practically the same as it
DIS to-day-that is, the part of the
city known as "Old City" The streets
as they existed then are practically
the same as shown on the official
map to-day but many Of these streets
have been encroached upon by prop
'erty. owners who b1ve built either
houses or fences on them. The old
English maps Of the city and the sub
,sequent Spanish maps and the recent
maps all agree In these respects. The
streets running north and south were
straight streets and the streets run
ming east and west were also strdght
with the exception OF the street along
the water front which Is now known
as Main street, and which. was made
to confoNm to the shore line OF the
bay. This shore line was a part OF
q circle, and the north line Of Main
street from DeVillfers street on the
west to Florida Blanca street on the
east was an irregular curve and the
south line Of the street was the
shore line OF Pensacola Bay. A
great many people living in Pensacola
can remember when boats landed on
Main street where the dummy sta
ton now stands and when people
caught fish all along Main street, and
many now living bathed there when
they were boys. Later, wharves were
built up, buildings erected and the
ground filed In and eventually the
bay was filed in and laid OF into
streets and blocks, and title to the
property was obtained by right of
possession or otherwise. In this way
the south line of Main street from
Aicaniz street westward became
changed from the shore hAe and es.
tablished by the building that had
been permitted.
Public Property.
In the original plans the bay front
was public property and from Palafox
street east to Alcaniz street was pub
lie property as far north as Govern
ment street. but the past different
city administrations have sold. given
away or allowed others to settle upon
various parts of this property, until
nothing remains except the streets,

GOOD RESULTS EXPECTED.
GERMAN VIEW OF THE MEETING
between KING EDWARD
AND THE KAISER. E..

Berlin, Aug. 2O.-Great satisfaction
prevails at the foreign Office over the
results of the meeting at Friedrichshof
between King Edward and Emperor
himself as being highly satisfied with
the outcome of his personal confer
ences with the king. The discussions
between the monarchs in the pres
ence of their diplomatic representa-
tives covered many political questions
of interest to both countries without
aiming at reaching specific arrange
ments, but with the view to coming to
a satisfactory understanding respect
ing the policies pursued by the two
countries.
This was accomplished in the main
and the foreign Office expects to see
the Improvement in the relations be-
tween them continue. The recent
friendly demonstrations, originating
among the British and German peo-
pies from dissatisfaction with the po-
litical hostilities attributed to the two
governments, facilitated the Fried.
richshof meeting, since King Edward
had not desired to see German an
tipathies continually attributed to
+ him. So far as the report of a per-
sonal estrangement between the two
monarchs is concerned this has been
wholly dissipated by the personal
talks at Friedrichshof and their rela-
tfons have now grown cordial.

BOTH GAMES GO
TO THE LOCALS
The White Earth Indian Pick. Tn
Team Proves Very, Very
Easy.

Bemidii Won two games of ball
from the White Earth, Indians
yesterday afternoon in a double
header played at the new park.
The score of the first game was
II to 3, in favor of Bemidji, and
the second was 6 to 5 with White
Earth on the short end.
Summers pitched the first
game, and he did good work. He
struck out eight, allowed four
hits and walked none. He did
not receive very good support,
five errors being registered
against the Bemidji players.
Eddie Carl, late with Flandreau,
pitched for White Earth. He
"fanned" nine, and nine hits
we're secured off him. The play
ers back of him made five errors.
Louis Roy made a two Dagger,
which brought in run ahead of
him, and two fast dou BILE plays
we're made by Bemidjl. Hoover
made a sensational stop of a
grounder after a hard run and
made a beautiful assist to first
base. Bowman, for the Indians,
$50 made a fine one handed stor.
Louis Roy, catcher for Bemidji,
was hit on the little finger of his
right hand, in the seventh inning,
and was forced to retire from
the game, Finn being brought in
from the right field to finish the
contest.
There was an intermission of
fifteen minutes before the second
game. Grady, pitcher for Cass
Lake, was put on the firing line
for White Earth and Phelps and
Van Writ. also of Cass Lake,
were in the game for the Indians.
Grady pitched a fair game. He
had four strike-outs, three bases
on balls, hit two, and gave five
hits; and White Earth made three
errors behind him.
Farley LeGore pitched for Be-
midi and Summers went from
the pitchers slab in the first
game behind the bat and caught
the second game. LeGore struck
out four and allowed but vo hits.
Six errors we're made by Bemijji
White Earth got five runs in

This afternoon Chief of Police
Bailey received a telegram from
Larimore, n. D., to the effect that
Henry Brown of Bemidji had
been burned to death in a fire at
Larimore last night, and that he,
Henry Brown, had a brother
living in Bemidji named William
Brown.
Later, the Pioneer received q
telegram from Grand Forks as
follows:
.Two Bemidji men who reached
Larimore with fine grey team,
two days ago, perished in a livery
fire there this morning" :"
Duig-nt search has been made
this afternoon to locate anyone
by the name OF William Brow n.
No person of that name was
located, although there are
several Browns who were asked
concerning the matter.
Charles Brown, a local car
penter, has a brother named
William Brown, who was for
some time in the employ Of
Frank Rogers at the Ia. ter s
restaurant. He left here q mon b
ago and went to Grand Forh ;.
Telephone communication with
Grand Forks states that this
Brown is now working at st.
Thomas, N. D, and was seen at
that place two days ago.
Who Henry Brown is cannot
be learned at this writing, al
though be may have lived here,
and may have brother residing
here by the name Of William
Brown.
Neither w. w. Brown nor N.
W. Brown, the restaurant keeper,
have any relative by the name of
Henry, so that the identity of the
man burned at Larimore Is
shrouded in mystery, at this
time.

fused, saying that he was going
to stop with his woman in a tent
across the track from Porter's
house.
This was the last seen of Wade
by Porter, according to Porter's
story, but he was heard singing
and shouting by several parties
who were stopping at the Porter
house as late as 2:2O a. m.
After the body was taken to
Lengby, one of the most shocking
carousals ever witnessed by a
white man took place at Ebro
among Wade's remaining com
panions. All were beastly
drunk. Some of them shouted,
others cried, and others
quarreled. The squaws all
moaned and wept in their
drunken way.

Ebro, MINI, Aug. 20. Especial
Dispatch to the Pioneer The
murder theory is rapidly gaining
relative to the killing of Frank
Wade, the Indian, near this vii.
lage Saturday. The coroner's
inquest will be held today, and
twelve witnesses have been
subpoenaed to appear. II.
The fact that his clothing had
|all been removed, or rather torn
|off, that burnt matches found
where the body was laid on the
rails, and tracks of no less than
four persons discovered on the
grade in close proximity, that
there was no flow of blood
when the body was cut up by the
train, and no. movement when the
danger whistle was blown, all
point to foul play. :
Information has leaked out to
