The wise tree owner, in fact ev-
cry man who desires to see trees
kept well and the insect pests
downed, should make it his busi-
ness to cut off the twigs bearing
the webs of moths. Almost every
park or even clump of trees has
some of the webs on the branches,
and the danger is that many of the
webs may contain the brown tailed
moth in its winter form. This
moth has not been here vet. but
webs have been found in nursery
stock imported and it will cause
great damage if it ever does get
hold.

edge of the track, struck a stump
and was forced backward into the

lumber narrowly escaped striking
them. The one side of the caboose
was completely torn off.

JOSE TOM, INDIAN
 PUNC1uRED BY BULLET
PERSISTED IN HAUNTING HOME
 OF NEWELL H. KERR.
The Indications Last Night Were That
 He Will Live.

Jose Tom. an Indian. was shot yes- | terday morning about 2 o'clock b, Newell H. Kerr at the residence o
 Mir Kerr on north Fourth avenue. Il was thought at first that the wound | would prove fatal. but yesterday after noon the Indian was examined at ths county jail. where he had been taken by pr. Beauchamp and Dr. Cameron They said that he would survive un- less infection should develop or pneu- monia should set in.
 The Indian was spending the night
 with another Indian. Frank. who is em- ployed at the Phillips house, nearby
 and has a room in the rear of the
 house. An Indian girl whom Tom
 knew is employed at the Kerr resi- dence and has a sleeping room in the rear of the house. Late at night Tom
 who had been drinking. went to her room and engaged in conversation from the outside. MT. Kerr heard him and drove him away. That was about midnight He reappeared about o'clock in the morning and Mir. Kerr said he heard him threatening the life of the girl.
 Taking a 32 caliber pistol, Mir. Kerr again ordered the Indian away, and when he refused to go he fired at close range. The police were immedi- ately notified and when they arrived on the scene they learned that the Indian had gone back to the room of Frank. He was found there preparing, he said, to return to the reservation. He believed he was going to die and wanted to breathe his last on the reser- vation. He was still quite drunk. as was Frank The latter was taken to the city jail along with a part of a pint of whisky and the wounded In- dian was removed to the county jail.
 Dr. Tafel, the county physician, was called He found that the bullet had entered the left breast and had appar- ently gone straight in. It was not fol- lowed up, but the wound was dressed. A little later in the morning it was be- lieved that the Indian was dying. It was proposed to remove him to the county hospital, but that was rejected on the ground that it would remove what little chance of life he might have.
 The matter was brought to the at tention of Justice Johnstone and As sistant District Attorney Lyman. The latter telephoned to pr. Tafel in the afternoon asking the condition of the Indian. The doctor replied that he could do nothing more for him at pres ent. Justice Johnstone then sent for Dr. Beauchamp. who made an examin ation and found the bullet lodged under the left shoulder. The wounded man was splitting blood, showing that the

 A little later pr. Dameron called at the request of E. R. Kerr manager of the wholesale department of the Dor ris Grocery company. and brother of the man who had done the shoot ing. In the meantime pr. Tafel, who had been telephoned to again, came. but on his arrival he resented the pres ence of the other physicians and went away. DTS. Beauchamp and Dameron removed the bullet and redressed the wound.
 The Indian said that he went to the Kerr residence to inquire of the h. dian girl about his wife. from whom he has been separated. His record is not good one. He has served term in the territorial penitentiary for cattle stealing.

Photographer R. A. Turnbull was pres ent and took three or four different views of the building and the assem- blaze. He was employed by those who particularly wanted to secure pictures of the events of that day and who were to pay him a dollar each for the views.
 In consideration however of the fact that it was believed there might be others wanting pictures if they could secure them a little cheaper he agreed to sell them for half a dollar if a cer- tain number were ordered. That num- Der has been ordered and the photog rapher is satisfied but the announce ment is made publicly. as a possible favor to those who might want the pictures if they knew they could get them. that any additional orders re- ceived will be filled at the same price fifty cents each. There is no profit in it for anybody except the photographer and very little for him but he will take pleasure in filling the orders if they are left with him promptly. Those who cannot conveniently call at his gallery may leave their orders with B A Fowler, president of the associa tion. who will see that they are turned over to the artist.
 One of the pictures shows the as- semblage from a viewpoint inside the building near the cornerstone. An other shows the committee that depos- ited the various articles of historic in- terest in the cornerstone. Another -I,. some distance away. as it apepared on the day of the ceremonies. In all of them the faces of nearly all are very distinctly seen. especially those of the speakers on that occasion.

Board of Reve .ue Meets.

The Board of Revenue and Road Com : missioners held an important meeting today and a large amount of importont business was transacted, among which was tine confederation of the report Of the County Treasurer. George E. stone,
 making important recommendations, and. showing what the condition of the finances of the county will be in the coming year. "
 The letting of the contract for the hire of the county convicts was post poned until next Monday, when the Finance Committee will report what
 action they have taken. There were two bids. One of the bids was for SIP per month for all males sentenced to ninety days and
 over from the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, and the other was from the Vinegar Bend Lumber Company, which offered $11 for all male convicts sen- tenced to thirty days and over, and $4 for all boys and women serving the same sentence.
 Representatives of both companies were present at the meeting. The Board of County Registrars was
 voted $50 each for extra compensation done during the last work. This action wah taken by the Board as precedent
 had already been made. M. ]. Doody, Martin Costello and
 George E. Sage were appointed view CTS for the road leading to Lincoln
 Cemetery, to report at another meet ing.

 = Peace.
 Pensacola, Fla, Jan. ll--(Special.)-- Every person arrested Sunday for vio- lating the Florida blue laws excepting three Greeks, were released today by order of the Justice of the Peace before whom deputy shcriffs appeared today to swear out affidayits.
 The justice promptly refused to is- sue any warrants after he had scanned the afidavits. and this was done upon the advice of the County Solicitor. who declared that he would not prosecute any of the men arrested, giving as his reasons that the parties have a right to visit their places of business, and that the evidence did not show that they had violated any law.
 The men arrested were Morris Bear, and Max L. Bear: and c. A. wiIlia, of the Lewis Bear Company; S. A. Moog and H. P! Mo6g. of A. Moog and Com pany; c. J. Bell, J. A. Williams and tate Agency; Harry Kahn of the weiles, Kahn and Company and three Greeks, the latter charged with run ming a shoeshine parlor. The latter three were held for trial.
 Morris Bear. president of the Lewis Bear Company, one of the largest wholesale concerns in this section or the State. was arrested as he was leav- ing his office. where he had been going through his mall. Harry Kahn, mana ser of the welles and Kahn Company, was taken into custody by .a deputy. whe, peeping through a window, saw Mir. Kahn sorting mail. The news of these arrests caused other business men who had gone to the postofice for mail to. discreetly conceal their envelopes and carry then directly to their homes.
 Much indignation prevails on account of Sheriff Van Pelt's strict enforcement of the laws, some of which were enact- ed at least fifty years ago.
 The ruling of the County Solicitor that the necessaries of life must not be interfered with by the blue law en- forcement. kept the sheriff from stop ping all public conveyanees from oper- ation. Street cars and cabs were al- lowed to run.
 Yesterday was the first time that Pensacola has experienced a complete enforcement of the Sunday laws.

 The harbormaster ordered him to move the vessel and these orders he refused.
 Captain Hoffses contended that he could not move, but in view of the tes- timony fthe witnesses against him the recorder assessed a fine of $50. The defense gave notice of an appeal and bond (was fixed al $50.
