RE DISCHARGED
AFTER A TRIAL

John Re, the proprietor of a saloon
at the corner of Baylen and Zarra-
gossa streets, who was alleged to
have taken several hundred dollars
from a man giving his name as John
Nelson Walker, was yesterday dis
charged by Judge Nicholson, thus
being eXonerated of the charge.
The affidavit against Re was made
by Walker who, when he came here
stated that he was an old Confederate
veteran, and in his complaint stated
that he was in the saloon in an intOXi-
Gated condition when his money dis
appeared. He was with two blue
jackets at the time, one of whom has
deserted from the navy yard
A few days after he made the aft
davit Walker evidently left the city,
as he could not be found to appear
as witness in the case, and letters
were sent to other cities in the hope
oftreaching him. The case has been
pending for several weeks now, and
yesterday Judge Nicholson held the
investigation and exOnerated Re of
any blame.
Re has now offered a reward for
any party who will give him informa-
ton as to the whereabouts of Walker.
The former bears a number of let
tiers from officers of the navy and
also holds honorable discharges.

Agricultural Experts
Should Be Secured.

Representative A A. Wiley, of the
second congressional district in Ala
bamR, has secured the services of a
specialist from the agricultural de-
partment at Washington who will
come south to aid the farmers with
all the information that the govern
ment has relative to the growing of
tobacco. alfalfa, and other new but
profitable products of this section.
The expert which Representative
Wiley has secured will spend some
time in Escambia county. Alabama,
just across the line from Escambia
county, Florida, and The Journal
would suggest that Representative
Lamar, of Floridas third district,
make an attempt TO have the govern
ment specialist come down into West
Florida for a few days
Escambia county. Florida, is now
growing tobacco. and some informa-
ton on that subject would be appre-
ciated by our farmers and the people
generally.
There are many things which the
climate and soil of Escambia county.
Florida, will produce with great profit
and few days spent here by man
who has made scientific study of
these things would be of great value
TO this section Of the state.
