Taste yesterday afternoon after an ill
ness of nearly ten months, he having
suffered a stroke of paralysis March
81, 1907
Mr.. Masters was seventy years Of
age and until his last illness was an
active man, as hale and hearty as the
verge man Of fifty. He has been at the
head OF the mercantile business bear
ing his name in this city for the past
thirteen years and prior to that time
was the New York purchasing agent

Mr.. Arthur Masters, of Live Oak, who
resided in Ocala for two years. and

t Mr.. Masters made many friends in
Ocala, where he visited once or twice
a year. He was one of the best post
ed and most highly accomplished of
the old school gentlemen Of his city
He was quiet and unasuming to a very
marked degree, but among those who
knew him well he was highly esteemed
for his sterling worth and brilliant
mind. Ever since he suffered the
stroke Mr.. Masters has been bedridden
and his death has been daily expected,
though at almost all times he retain
ed his mental faculties.
AS the business here was Incorporate
ed sometime ago there will be no
change in its conduct and the death Of

THE ORANGE LAKE SHOOTING

The Star referred to the shooting at
Orange Lake in its issue of the list,
Deputy HutSOn, who we called on,
gives the following report: The shoot
ing took place Saturday night about
9 O'Clock. The victims were Jim and
Sam EOyntOn, extensive truckers and
merchants at Orange Lake. They live
quite a distance from their store room
and in returning home that night
upon reaching the crossroads were
fired upon, both men being peppered
with shot from their heads to their
feet. Joe Feaster, colOred, was also
badly shot in the face in his effort to
warn the BOyntOns by running be-
tween them and the person who did

shot at Haywood Green, colOred, one of
the parties who fired on him and his
the first shot was fired Green lodged
behind tree, the bullet Mr. BOynton
fired hitting the tree. Then Green took
leg bail, with BOyntOn after him. MT
BoyntOn fired and struck Green in the
heel quite a vital spOD and Green
was brought to earth, but his COM
panion came to the rescue and dragged
him home. Deputy Hutson was mott
fled of the trouble Sunday and went
up to Orange Lake early Monday
morning and enlisting the assistance
of Deputy Pullen went to Green's
house. They found him and he told
quite different story, but when told
he was under arrest he gave a clue
to the identity of the balance of the
party and the officers rounded up the
rest, near Irvine. Those brought to
Ocala Tuesday were John Bennett,
Haywood Green, Pete Caslon, James
White and Morris Modegan. There is
a sixth one at large but he is spotted
and will be found. The original cause
of the trouble is, the Boyntons employ
considerable colored labor. They were
paying SIPS a day, but the laborers
around Orange Lake demanded $3.50
day, when the Boyntons went to South
Carolina and secured all the labor
they NEEDED at $40 month and
board. This is said to have so ex-
asperated a certain class that the at
tempt was made to kill the two Boyn-
ton brothers.
