Devils Lake. N. D., Sept. 12.--Ac-
cusing his card game opponent with

wound of less serious nature was
also sustained. Lakota was the scene
of the affair, and the negro is in Jail
in that city while Langhoff is in

full. Men in pursuit called to A. M.

negro with the chair and had gone
into the other room. being followed
there by the colored man and was as

against him until such a time as it
can be definitely ascertained whether
or not the victim will recover. Doubt
on that score Is expressed at the hos
pital.

New Post Office Site.

The statement has been made and re-
peated on the streets of Palatka that Mrs.
Walter Thomas had refused TO sign a
deed TO the property on south Second
street selected by the government for
the new postoifice site. This statement
is incorrect.
AT the present time there is a suit in
chancery asking for division OF the
Thomas property among the heirs,
some of whom are of age and still others
are minors. When this suit is deter
mined, no matter how, the court will
be asked to appoint commissioners. II
will be the work of the commissioners
TO sign the deed or deeds conveying the
property to the government for purposes
of a posi- office site. Neither Mrs. Thomas
nor any Of the other heirs oppose the
sale of the Second street property TO the
government, and the present suit for a
division of the property will in no way
interfere with such transfer.
A petition has been in circulation on
the streets for some time and has been
numerously signed, asking the govern
ment to purchase property further up
to Nn.
As the government has already select
ed The Thomas site after careful i2veSti,
CATION and is fully aware OF the condi.
tion of the title and the present suit in
chancery to secure a division among the
heirs, it is not likely that any change
will be made.
The News makes these statements al
fer careful investigation of the facts.
Those in a position to know state that
the site for Palatka's new post office has
already been selected from among those
originally offered, and that there is
nothing in the way of IFS easy transfer
according 10 law.

Mr.. and Mrs. Helms Entertain.

The Helms home at East Palatka was
the scene of large gathering of young
people last Wednesday evening, the
occasion being party rendered Miss
Emma Hightower of Alabama.
Mr.. and Mrs. Helms have an enviable
reputation for their hospitality and near
ly all the young people who were in
vited, availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity, for they knew there was good
time in store for them at this pleasant
East Palatka home.
About twenty five guests from Palatka
were present, the party going and re-
turning by automobiles. The Palatka
contingency was augmented by many
East Palatka young people, making al
together some thirty and it would
have been difficult 10 find a more con
genial assemlage.
During the evening many games were
INDUCED in on the spacious and bril-
liantly lighted verandaS and on the
lawn, and needless 10 say, these furnish
ed much amusement.
Delicious fruit punch and ice cream
was served.
And the wee sma' hours were ap-
preaching rapidly when the merry crowd
began TO diSperSe.
Mr.. and Mrs. Helms have a most
beautiful home, and their hospitality is
of that old time southern variety, where
everyone is made 10 feel perfectly al
home, and where many have enjoyed
more than one pleasant evening.

Judge James T. Wills.

There is not more popular man who
visits Gainesville than the above named
eminent jurist Each night during the
session of Circuit Court in this city,
when his days work is ended, he is
surrounded by number OF friends in
front of the Brown House who enjoy an
hour or two conversing with him.
The editor of the Sun has enjoyed the
acquaintance of Judge Wills for the past
fifteen years or more, having been aSSo-
ciated with him in the legislative halls
at one time, where he was recognized
as leader OF leaders, and in every walk
of life his eminent ability has impressed
those with whom he came in contact.
Thoroughly democratic, he is easily ap-
proachabIe, and all feel perfectly at ease
in his presence. In this respect Judge
Wills reminds US more of Governor
Gilchrist than any other high official in
the state, which no doubt accounts in
large measure for the universal populari-
ty OF these two good men.
To know Judge Wills is to admire
him, and the better you know him the
more you love him. AT least such is
the case with his Gainesville friends

Palatka, Home of Prophecies.

A telegram from Santa Fe, New Mexi-
co, of recent date and published in sew

is to be destroyed by a flood, an earth
quake and fire on Friday and Saturday,
according to an aStrologer, Mrs. M. +.
Dunham of Palatka, Fla, who writes TO

thur Seligman.
But this destruction never touched
'em and the people of Santa Fe are
awaiting further information from the
prophecies.
They can't quite understand what the
lady has agin 'em. Time was when
Santa Fe was a full -fledged COW boy
town, where the faro bank, the saloon
and the brothel were the CenlerS of So

amusement of its young men. But
times and social conditions have
changed. New Mexico is knocking for
admission 10 the siSterhood of states and
is rapidly undergoing social regenera-

The leaven of civilization is getting in
its work, and the people feel that their
social and moral advance should entitle
them TO immunity from such disasters,
at least until their statehood has been
recognized.
But the people were greatly disturbed
over this prediction of the Palatka
prophecies, especially the politicians and
those who have only dreamed of graft
