THE MURDERER CAPTURED

Sim Towns, the fiendish negro
murderer of Mr.. Raulerson, has been
captured and is now in Jail at Ocala.
E. H. Garris of Pasco county. who is
a woods rider for a turpentine opera
tor in fernando county, on Tuesday
ran across Towns in the woods and
arrested him without encountering
resistance. He was in a sorry plight
nearly dead from hunger and sick.
He was taken to the turpentine camp
and proffered a dinner, but could not
eat.
A couple of glasses of wine revived
him. after which he admitted that he
was the man wanted, stating that
he knew he had shot Raulerson, but
did not know whether the victim was
dead or not.
Mr.. Garris took Towns to Brooks
vile and turned him over to Sheriff
Law, who at once wired Sheriff Car
ter and he left for Brooksville. The
identification being complete, Towns
was taken to Ocala by Sheriff Carter
for safe keeping. Just how long he
will remain there we are unable to
state All are rejoiced over Towns
capture, but thus far no talk of lynch
ing has been heard. We are unable
to furnish the particulars of the ne
gro's capture, but it is beyond ques-
ton that he is safely lodged in the
Marion county jail.-Citrus County

prominent gentleman of our town
was in Ocala last week and overheard
a conversation between a surveyor
from New York and one of the firm of
Camp Bros. on the train that would
indicate that a movement is on foot
to harness the Withlacoochee near
Port Inglis, by series of locks and
dams and furnish electricity for light
ing and power for all this section of
country. The Camps, who have re-
Gently successfully engineered such a
plant near Roanoke, Va, are the pro-
moters of this scheme, and the sur
eyor, who is an expert in such mat
tiers, has been sent by them to make
the surveys at and above Port Inglis,
and he will make his report to them.
There is said to be a fall of 45 feet
in the river from Stokes Ferry to a
point six miles above the mouth, and
this is deemed sufficient to conduct
ar immense electric plant. The only
thing to be considered now is the
probable cost and that will be deter
mined when the surveyor completes
his work. and then the necessary cap
itaI will be forthcoming.-Citr
