blow it up. al this was arranged for
last night, but between the hour the
scheme was concocted and the hour Of
meeting, Johnson tumbled to the de-
tectiye's racket, and when Johnson and
the detective met, the former having
borrowed the latter's pistol, Johnson
attempted to shoot him, firing two
shots, one passing on either side Of the
detectives head, when the detective
seized the hands Of Johnson, pointed
the pistol at his head and fired, the ball
passing through Johnson's head near
the right ear. The wounded man is
still alive, but there Is no hope for his
recovery. There are others Of the
thieving gang and the authorities hope
to arrest them. -0cala Star.

Roger Johnson, a hanger on around
DunneIlon, was shot through the head
last night and will die. Our readers
will remember that for a year or more
there has been a gang Of robbers at
work in the Phosphate City, operating
in the hotels and boarding houses. To
ascertain the guilty parties the city Of
DunneIlon hired a detective, who caught
up with several of the gang, among
them this man, Johnson. The detective
worked up a scheme on Johnson where

10y J. Davis, a prominent young
married man Of DeLand, was taken
violently insane Wednesday morning at
his home on HowTy avenue. He ar
rived a few weeks ago from Alabama,
where he has extensive business inter-

quite i'll and acting rather queer. For
several days he has been in charge Of
a nurse and about two O'Clock in the
morning became 50 afflicted that he as
saulted his attendant and inflicted sew
eral severe wounds upon his face and
head. A lunacy commission was ap-
pointed by Judge McCrory and he was
pronounced insane and Thursday night
he was taken to the state asylum at

R. P Williams, the owner Of the tur-
pentine camp at which Sheriff Lang
stOn was 50 brutslly murdered, attri-
butes the whole unfortunate affair to
the use Of blind tiger whiskey, which
the negroes Of his camp had in some
way managed to obtain. He says that
ordinarily there is not a more law-abid-
ing set of negroes in Florida. He has
made cOnfdants and trustees Of many
of them, and has never yet had one to
betray his trust unless he had pre-
viOusly filed up on this foul stuff. Mr..
Williams says that on the day prior to
the killing, two white men were in his
camp with a wagon, and it is the pre-
sumption that from these the negroes
obtained the whiSkey which brutalized
them and caused the horrible tragedy.
The gentleman says that the appear
ance Of this blind tiger stuff in his
camp has become Of frequent occur
renee recently, very much to his dam
age and inconvenience, and insists that
the officers first use their diligence in
stopping this damnable practice. He
is very denunciatory Of the lawless
white men who are suspected Of traf-
ficing in this element Of hell, and says
that if the authorities do not suppress
it he viii be forced to take the law in
his own hands for self protection. Tai

An old soldiers colony is to be es-
tablished near Kissimmee, and 5000
acres Of land have been purchased for
that purpose. The undertaking IS al
ready an assured success. Twelve
years ago a similar move was made at
Fitzgerald, Ga, and now that place
has between 1900 and 10000 inhabi-
tants. The undertaking in Florida
should prove as big a success as II did
at Fitzgerald, for certainly the OppOr-

from Newberry with Mason Warren, a

counterfeiting and Warren makes the
third of what is alleged to be the gang.

bring you out OF the sand about two
miles from Clark's Gap. .
Various plans and Suggestions have
been made for building this Dad thru
the sand. A plank roa has been sus-
gested, 2x12 laid lengthwise IN post
foundations. A cement roa has also
been talked of, using the sand on the
ground n made between plank
forms wide enough to catch wagon
wheels.
Bear grass or va weed have been
found useful in making roads through
Sard by scooping out the sand in two
ruis filling in with bear grass and
placing a light covering of sand owe
1t.
If clay can be secured cheaply I be-
lieve the best way would be to scoop
out the sand and build a good clay
| road. This has been uGne in other
nlaess in this country where the sand
| offered a serious obstacle to travel.
notably at Meirose, n. NJ, where l
am informed the citizens and bust
| ness men built a clay and gravel
| road through the sand for a distance
| of six miles in order to bring their
| town within reach of the farming
trade on the adjoining plains. On the
route which I have inspected clay can
| be obtained at an average depth OF 2
feet, and In some places it shows at
the surface.
One great disadvantage In putting
the road through at this point is the
lack of watering facilities. At Clark's
gap Mr.. Clark has two weak wells,
and he Is not in a position to furnish
water to the travellers and freighte-s
who would use this road WREN com,
