THE eeNTLEMAN's SCRUB RACE

The Star has been accused of fail
ing to mention the gentlemen's scrub
race at the fair grounds Friday. which
proved so interesting to the thousands
of spectators present and deemed by
them as entertaining as any act Of
that fair. Well, here are the facts in
the case:
There were four entries. namely:
MessrS Ditto. Guerrant, Carmichael
and BeasIey. the last nam ID from Or
lsndO.
The conditions were that each man
should at a given signal unite his
horse. the animals having been pre-
viously hitched to the railing in front
of the grandstand. lead him to the
buggy backed against the fence in
front of the judges stand, take the
harness. which should have nothing
but buckles to it. put it on the horse.
hitch Kim to the buggy. get in and
drive around the half-mile track The
driver complying with the rules and
reaching the finish line first TO be de-
Clared the winner
Mr.. Beasley got off first He hitch
ed his horse without a flaw. DR..
Guerrunt with a few minor mishaps
followed. and because Mr. Beasley's
horse broke. DR. Guerrant caught up
with him. overlook him and came
home a winner.
Mr.. CaTmiChaeTs horse lid not fully
obey him. made him lose time and in
his eagerness to get off. Mr.. Carmi-
Chael forgot 20 fasten the back straps.
which caused the buggy to run
against the legs of his animal and to
keep the buggy from running onto the
horse Mr. Carmichael put him TO a
gallon. coming in third.
Frank Ditto. with his cream coIored
charger in the first place forgot 10
tie his morse to the fence but this
was overlooked. and in leading the
animal up 10 the buggy. the horse
walked off. while Frank reached for
the harness and in his haste to reach
the horse and throw the harness on
him he missed his calculation and in
stead of the harness going over the
horses back. they struck his side and
fell TO the ground. In his efforts to
regain the lost ground. he made the
second attempt with no better sue
cess and by the time he did succeed
horse he looked around to see where
his competitors were and noted them
speeding half around the track and
while gazing at them his horse again
started up the track. which so dis
gruntled him with his failure that ne
wilted and gave up the contest.
This little episode in the game so
excited the crowd to mirth and friend
~ suggestions. that Mr.. Ditto immed-
lately fed from the track. But he
has since regained his good humor
and says that he viii try it again next
time We wish him better success.
But now comes Dr. Walter Hood and
he has the nerve to say that had he
known of the contest ard its condi-
tions-(he was one OF the judges)-
that he would have beaten the whole
shooting match with his horse. Cobb.
who Is endowed with almost human
instinct and who can almost harness
and hitch himself. according to the
doctors version. so he felt he could
nave been a sure winner.

Mr.. w. II. Fort. from across the
OklaTaha, who IS assisting the Car
ney Investment Company at Lake
Weir. was in town yesterday shop
ping. He said he has been with the
Carney company ever since that firm
began to gather and ship fruit and in
that time they have shipped $4,000
boxes and there yet remains to be
gathered and shipped some 5000 boxes
more. which task they expect TO finish
by the first of February, 1909. He said
some fifty hands. black and white, had
been engaged during the season. That
they had earned good wages and done
their work well and he did not think
that better work had been done by
any gang Of men anywhere in the
state. The men are especially pleas
ed with the treatment received from
the managers of the company.

SHALL MARION ADOPT
TRUE PUBLICITY

Mr Allen Rogers Of Jacksonville,
who represents the Florida Win
ter Exposition. was here during the
continuance Of the county fair 10 note
the display made by our farmers, with
which he was more than pleased; also
to induce the management OF the fair
and those who made the largest and
most creditable exhibits TO send them
TO the Jacksonville exposition. so the
thousands Of tourists who visit the
metropolis Of the state could see the
products of the farmers of the various
portions OF Florida.
Personally, The Star wishes this
could be done. for If the county fair
is a good thing for Marion. giving the
farmers and producers an opportunity
% seeing what their neighboTs are
doing and because OF the examples
presented making them wish to in
crease their output, surely the expo
sition is a good thing for a like rea-
son.
Now. as we said. this being the
case and the history of county fairs
all over the land shows it 20 be so,
why not send these products to Jack
sonyille and Tampa and excite in the
minds of visitors to our state. who
shall visit both the Jacksonville and
Tampa displays, an interest in our
soil and its productions and cause
them 10 come among US to see for
themselves.
This kind of publicity is the best
and most effective that can be had.
other sections all over the land as
well as ia Florida has testified TO its
results and why not Marion We have
land the equal Of the best in the
state. What We need is people to Oc-
cupy and cultivate this land. We
must interest the outsider. the man
seeking a home with US. This is a
reliable and effective means TO an end.
Will the people of Ocala and Marion
county adopt this method. get a hustle
on them. or set down quietly and tell
each other what we have but keep ii
a profound secret from the outside
world If we expect 10 advance our
material and pecuniary interests along
the lines suggested. we must be up
and doing. not only today. but tomOr-
row and every day and season of the
year and like the drops of ink that
make millions think, we will at least
produce an impression that will last
and bring untold benefits and pros
perity.
California is a glowing, burning
example Of everlasting keep at the
publicity proposition and get results
If Sanford, the celery city. can spend
several thousand dollars to maintain
an exhibit Of her products and they
testify to bringing results. why not
Marion?

We could not expect them to assume

Of The Daggs
Killing
From Tuesday, Daily

GLOBE, Ariz., March 93.-(Special
Dispatch to the journal Miner.) That
the murder Of "Shorty" Hunstock, a
prospcctor of this district, whose dead
body was found Friday morning, is in
some way connected with the assassin.
alton Of Daggs and Detmore, at Super.
ior New Years Day. is now the belief
of those investigating the affair, ac.
cording to their statements tonignt.
The badly dccomposed body of Hun.
stock was found by cowboy who was
passing the victims cabin. Investi-
CATION revealed the fact that Shorty"
had been shot through the head and
body. The door of the cabin was lock
ed and the surroundings pointed to his
death having been the result Of de.
liberately planned murder. The vie.
time was about - years of age and was
formerly a mining partner Of Ed. Fon-
dren, now in Jail on a charge of having
assisted in the killing of Daggs and
Detmore.
The opinion prevails here that Hun.
stock was shot while asleep. II is
Thought his assassin was in hiding near
the prospcctor's cabin. and waiting un-
I'll Hunstock was asleep, slipped up Ia
the window of the cabin. directly over
the bed occupied by tne sleeping man,
and emptied the contents of a shotgun
into his form, later shooting him in
the head 10 make sure of his dastardly
work.
II is declared that Hunstock was
peaeeable by disposition, but he is
though to have incurred the hatred of
certain parties ON account Of the dam.
aging evidence he gave in relation to
the Daggs killing last New Years.
The sneriff's office Of Pinal county
Is making full investigation, but as
hun1tock had apparently been dead
for over two months when his remains
were found, there is but little on which
the officers have to work.
