WASHINGTON, ID. C., Sept s.
An attempt was made by the navy de-
partment this afternoon to reach the
battleship North Dakota by wireless
from this city following the receipt
OF unofficial adviees saying that three
men were dead and eleven unaccount-
ed for as the result of the explosion
Of a barrel of oil. The navy depart
ment was informed that Admiral
Schroeder was making an investiga-
ton, but further details could not be
obtained at first. Assistant Secretary
Winthrop took personal charge Of the
inquiry by wireless.
The North Dakota is a first class
battleship of 10000 displacement and
was built at the Fore River Shipbuild-
ing Company's yard at Quincy. Mass.
She went into commission this year.
She carries thirty-three guns In her
main battery and Is a sister chip of
the Delaware. the first of the Dread
naught type 10 be built by the Urited
States. At her official trial the North
Dakota proved herself the most eco
nomicai of all the first class battle
ships In the service, her turbine en-
gines making low record for both
oil and coal supplied.
She has been an unlucky ship from
the start. During her endurance run
off the New hampshire coast four
men were severely scalded and twelve
others less seriously hurt when a boil
er tube collapsed.
The scalded men refused to permit
the ship to be stopped to transfer
them ashore until the test was con-
cluded. and the big vessel maintained
her speed requirement of 81 knots
during the last hour of the test, with
the injured engine rom employees be-
ing cared for in temporary hospital
hurriedly rugged up.
She carries a crew of 600 officers
and men.

DUNNELLON's GRIEVANCES

While in Dunne1lon Tuesday even
ing. we heard a great lot Of talk in
regard to the formation of a new
county Of parts OF Marion, Citrus and
Levy, with Dunne1lon as the county
site, and il the statements OF those do
ing the talking as to the treatment
meted out to Dunnellon by the offic
ials of Marion county is true, then In
our opinion the move is righteous
one. We do not pretend to say that
the parties doing the talking were
stating the facts. nor do We intend to
get into any newspaper controversy
by this writing; we simply give this
information that our readers may
know Of it. The parties claimed that
Dunnellon and the southwestern sec
ton Of Marion county had been ignor-
ed in all matters where 1t came to
building Of hard roads, school houses.
etc, the statement being made that the
school there was on the same footing
in regard to number and salaries OF
teachers as the negro school in Ocala.
Inverness Chronicle.
We respectfully refer the matter OF
good roads to County Commissioner j.
NJ. Mathews, who labOred faithfully to
connect Dunnellon with Ocala for sew
efal years and spent large SUN VI
money The trouble about making a
good road to Dunnellon is to get suita-
BILE material and that has been found
at the Dunnellon end Of the route.
In the matter Of schools. we refer
that to Supt. J. H. Brinson. We are In
clined to think those in Dunne1lon who
are speaking so loudly about the for
nation Of a new county, base their
facts largely on transformation. or
what is worse. no information at all
Let Dunnellon make their charges spe-
cific against our county officials and
then the facts in the case can and will
be ascertained. The Star believes that
every school in Marion county should
| be treated impartially by our Local
Solons, but the fact still exists and
ever WILL that is a beautiful idea in
| theory, but the history of the world
and it's civilization demonstrates it Is
a moral. physical and financial impos-
