EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE OF
PARTY THAT MADE DISTANCE
FROM JACKSONVILLE TO MIAMI
BY AUTo-MISHAPS ADDED
ZEST TO ADVENTURE.

Automobiles, thermos bottles, ko-
daks and chatting dishes were uu-
known in the days of David Crock
EFT and Daniel Boone; but they are
the regular kit of the modern pio-
neer. No touring car used for max
ing expeditions of any length is COM

York city; Miss Hughes, of Scranton,
Pa; Mr.. Jessea Allsport, of Gin
Warwick, New York.
A very enjoyable trip from Jack
sonville to st. Augustine, some little
difficulty with the roads from that
point to Orlando, and even a decent
road to Daytona, hardly prepared the
party for the difficulties which were
to confront them. The party started
from Daytona on the 14th of January,
and from that time on begins the
story of pioneering. Through many
difficulties, the least of which were
blow outs, broken shoes and clutches
that would not hold, Oak Hill, Titus
Vile. Rockledge and Melbourne were
successfully passed and left behind.
Through sand, mud and water UP to
the running boards of the cars, ford
ing lakes and around stumps, lay the
course. The greatest enjoyment of
the trip was the camp. After a de-
lightful repast, prepared by the ladies
of the party with the help of some
of those modern appliances mentioned
before, the party would gather round
the camp fire, smoking and exchang-
ing comments on the adventures of
the day.
From Melbourne to Fort Pierce
was another continuous struggle with
mud, sand and water. Sticking in
sand to the axles, it took all the en-
gines' power and the aid of half
dozen negroes or more to release the
cars from the grip of the sand.
Striking the government road neal
White City, the party felt secure as
to their direction. but a wrong choice
between the forks threw them off the
track. During the afternoon the first
car which contained the most of the
baggage, ran into real lake of wa
ter across the road. The lake was
then crossed, but the triumph was
short lived. for half a mile further

GONZALEZ IS
ALLOWED BOND
YOUNG MAN WHO WAS HELD FOR
ASSAULTING ANOTHER WITH
KNIFE RELEASED AFTER TWO
WEEKS IMPRISONMENT.

After being held at the city Jail
for two weeks, Winters Gonzalez,
charged with assaulting with a knife,
was last night accorded the privilege
of bail, the sum of $3.50 having been
given for his appearance when de-
sired. Relatives were at the station
last night and promptly signed the
bond. The young man who was cut,
and who had been in a serious condi-
ton, was reported to be out of dan
ser late last night, and the marshal
notified relatives that the prisoner
would be allowed bond in the sum
named. The relatives were not long
in showing up and taking Gonzalez
from the station.

told Lieutenant Hempel that she had
left her three children in charge of an
usher at the Shubert theater on Tues
day night while she left the theater to
do some shopping According TO Mrs
Mack, the usher promised to care for
the children until she should return,
which care, she said, she understood
was in compliance with the law requir-
ing that children have a guardian in
care of them when on the street after

When Mrs. Mack returned to the
theater shortly after Q o'clock, she
said, the usher told her that the chill
