In the court house in this town.
when he was running for governor,
Governor BrOward asserted that the
railroads were not entitled 10 a single

he would not turn over an acre 10
them until the court of last resort or
dered him TO do SO. TWO years later,

and renewed his pledges, this time
making an elaborate argument to
show that the railroads had no vali.i
claim to the lands and that the out

of these pledges, the governor recent

ing very good luck, one night last

and last night they killed one measur-
ING 10 L. feet. The hides are cured
and shipped.
The contention of the compliments
IS that there is a state law preventing
the promiscuous killing, irrespective
NJ size. Of allgators, and also that
some of the killing is done in that part
of Miami river within the city limits

AS far as We have been able to see
the Lamar and Beard vote in Brad
ford county is going to Fletcher. Ru-
NOR has it that this is the case pretty
much al over the state, and it now
appears that Mr. Fletcher will win
the nomination for United States sen
ator by a good safe majority. Brow
ards lead over Fletcher in the first
primary was only 1900, and the cam
bined vote of Lamar and Beard was
1900. There is plenty of room in
that for Fletcher to win out with a
majority of several thousand and his
friends are confident that he will do
so. His gains in Duval and HillsbOr-

overcome Broward's lead on him IN
