In the, article recently giving the
list of new officers of Escambia coun-
" it was stated that Geo. J. SlOcUmb
would succeed ThOs. F. BritSOn as

sons term in Office does not expire
for several months.
The maximum temperature at Pen
sacola yesterday was 5S degrees at
$40 .. m, while the minimum was 40
degrees at Z a. m. Last year on the

while the crop was not very heavy
nor the pears very large, they were

in the corridor outside Judge Ogden S

gressor. but Appel landed the only
blow that was struck His fist cut
a cash over Boynton's left eye, which
bled freely for some time. Both men
then left without further parley,
though Boynton was unable to conceal
his own trail owing to severe hemor-
rhage.
Boynton was engaged in settling the
estate of Mrs. Georgiana Chamberlain,
while Appel represented the estate of
her husband, William Chamberlain.
Boynton secured an order for the ex-
animation of Attorney Cleveland Dam,

ton of Dam were sustained by Judge
