HORSE AND AUTO RUN AMuck

Monday afternoon as an auto party
from the upper end of the county was
coming south on Magnolia street, they
ran into a horse, being driven by a
colored man named Dan Roberts.
1t seems that the fender of the ma
chine struck the horse and knocked
him down, and afterwards the rear
wheels of the machine ran over his
front legs, breaking one and mangling
it so badly that the animal had to be
killed.
Those in the auto were Messrs. Al
exander and ]. P. Richardson, and
Misses Walkup and Hickson, all of
Mcintosh. Mr.. Richardson states
that their machine had almost come
to stop at the curb of the court
house yard when the accident occurr-
ed, and that he did not consider that
the driver was in any way responsible
fer the mishap, as the man drove his
horse right in front of the car, and at
such a close distance as not to allow
the car to stop before he was ran into.
We have not learn whether any case
has been made in the police court OF
the matter or not.

Mr.. ]. M. McManus, representing R.
L. Polk & Co., who are getting out a
city directory for Ocala. says that the
firm has about fininshed up its busi-
ness, and that unless some unforeseen
hindrances come into play the book
will be out within sixty days. The r.
L. Polk company make it business
of getting out directories. They get
them out for many towns in Florida,
Barlow, Lakeland, Sanford, Jackson
vile and other places, and in other
states, Macon, Birmingham, etc. So
the work may be regarded as reliable.
We shall soon see what population
their enumeration gives to our city.
