mon nuisance and they were discharg-
ed and this case cost the county in
Justice fees $500, Sheriff $3.50 and
witness fees $3.50. A total of $34.1O
and nothing doing. Then came L.
FOustenin who was the next victim
OF the sleuths and this time the states
attorney thought he had him red hand
ed on the charge of importing liquors
into the state. There was an expense
$21.95 and the defendant was dis.
charged.
Fred Olson was in the court several
times and the States attorney was
very anxious to get him out of the
way SO had him arrested for keeping
a common nuisance and he was tried
by jury and found not guilty. The
amount of expenses found for this
case only net up to $500 but they
were in all probability a good deal
more. And still the states attorney
has not prosecuted any one. ]. l..
Hooker was arrested for interfering
with an officer from doing his duty
and the case dismissed with a cost to
the county of $780, J. Zunich made
a complaint to Silver that one F. Jones
had beat him out of his board bill and
Silver reached for the big stick and
swore out warrant. The case was
dismissed and it cost the county a lit
tie, the sum of $1.70.
Joe Doe was arrested for keeping a
bawdy house and was discharged. 1t
costs the county $1.70 justice fees. 1t
seems almost useless to go on with
these cases but they are interesting to
the voters and taxpayers of the county
and will give complete list of the
failures of the States Attorney Mr.
Silver Serumgard stopped over very
badly on the Oswold Goldner case at
Grand Harbor and put the county to
a lot of expense on account of not
knowing how to draw up the informa-
ton, The case was thrown out of
court and the fees attached were for
the justice $500 and the sheriff got
his horn in to the tune of $21 40 Mary
Powers was arrested on complaint
sworn out by Mary Folke charging her
with assault and battery and the de-
feDdant was dismissed because Mr..
Serumgard was unable to prosecute
the case, This little item cost the
county $3.50. A warrant was sworn
out for Harry Thomas on petit lar
cent charge and the warrant was
returned. the sheriff being unable to
find the defendant. He may have
been in Jerusalem when the warrant
was sworn out and here the STATE S
Attorney used some more of his fish
Judgment. $2.43 Justice fees and $500
sheriff's fees were attached to the case
just the same and the tax payers paid
for it. Another case of swearing ont
warrants on "hot air" was in the J. B.
Doty case. The warrant was returned
and it cost the county $5.45. A. B.
Kerlin had William Hurst, Jr., arrest
ed for cutting telephone wires. Hurst
vas discharged. This little case OF
not much Importance cost the county
S12.05. Again Siever had Charles

Eaton was discharged and it cost the

Slowly the vision faded Through
the hazy folds Of the silken robe
again appeared the dim outlines of the
skull on the table. Clarke released
my hand and the electric lights flashed
up. The inspector sat as in a trance,
his eyes still glued to the skull.

blow that sank Y inches of blade and
three inches of hilt into his own heart
just at the left armpit. A left-handed
blow was out of the question. A right
handed blow at that point would lack
the force.

the Hindu.
Suddenly the Hindu began to intone

asked him in low voice to give me
some advice on preaching.

did reply was this:

Wife Finished the Story.

A cablegram all the way from Lon
don says: A well known man in the
atrical affairs in America is telling a
story on himself. He does not wish
his name revealed as his wife would
not like it. This man is gourmet Of
no mean ability, and prides himself
on devising new dishes. This Is the
story as he told it:
AT dinner the other night at Ro-
mano's. they asked me for something
new in the way of fancy food. When
| got home, | told my wife what l or
dered. First | said. L had an olive
put in woodcock, then the woodcock
put in a pigeon, the pigeon put in .
partridge and the partridge put in q
pheasant. then tied up with bacon and
cooked
Well. said my wife, why don't
you go on and finish?'

Then l told him what had seen and
what I was sure the inspector had also

Now, how can you explain it," I
| asked.
"Dr. Hudson has already explained
it pretty well. At least he has given
us working hypothesis. Your senses
were under the control of the sub
jective mind while | was normal"
After rather neglected breakfast
and a nap to recover the murdered
sleep of the night before, we proceed
ed to the station to complete the for
malities of the Hindu's arrest. When
we arrived. Inspector Ship met us with
a lugubrious countenance and mys-
teriously ushered us into his private
office and closed and locked the door.
When he had assured himself that
no unbidden ear was listening he
turned to US and said:
Hes gone!"
"Gone!" exclaimed Clarke. You
don't mean to say you allowed him to
escape hand -cuffed, between our place
and the station?"
We lost no time getting home. The
door seemed to be all right, in fact It
was fastened with tumbler-lock
which would have given the most ex-
perienced burglar bad half-hour. We
had no fear of the rear door, which
was secured by chain-bolt

The Florida Orange Crop

From the New York Packer of Oct. Srd.
After obtaining reports from about
1900 growers and shippers of Flori-
da oranges and grapefruit, many of
these reports appearing in this weeks S
issue of The Packer, it looks as
though the Florida crop will exceed
1900, 900 boxes this year. 1t may
reach 4,500, 900 boxes. According to
The Packers report the fruit was
never in finer shape. 1t is as a rule
clean and solid. All information
points to a fair movement through
out the season. Many of those re-
porting to The Packer are of the
opinion that there will be a good de-
mand for the fruit until next spring
because of its fine quality.
Buyers are bidding 75c. as a rule
for the fruit on the trees and the
growers are asking 81. Some sales
have been made at rs to 80c. Of
course, in the Indian river sections
the oranges are worth more. AT
other points, for instance in sections
where packing houses are handy and
shipping stations near, some buyers
are paying 81 a box straight on the
trees. A great deal of business has
been done at this figure.
