Affinity In HospitaI.-The sudden re-
turn home OF the husband last night
and the discovery of a stranger in
his house in intimate company with
his wife, nearly caused a murder,
and but for the prompt evacuation
OF the premises by the intruder af-
ter having been terribly beaten by
the irste husband. the result might
have been more serious. The re-
suit is that Roy PiIery is now in
Mercy hospital suffering with severe
cuts about the head and face and
with bruises about the body, while
his assailant is held on a charge of
assault and battery. The story as
told to the police IL that Gregorsen
returned home last night rather I'M
sxpectediy and upon entering his
home found PfIlery in his wife's
bedroom. The circumstances did not
please the husband, and explana-
tons did not appease his desire for
revenge. He attacked Pfllery vi
ciously with q heavy instrument, and
before he had concluded the attack
Pillery was bleeding from several
places and only his exit from the
house saved him from worse injury.
The police were notified of the oc-
currence. and, after holding Gregor-
sen as witness. placed Pillery I'M
der arrest His injuries were such
that he was taken to Mercy hospital
for treatment. The trial will come
up as soon as he is able to appear.

Thanks to the defeat of the old

Of the 10 residences viii be approx

are rising on Sflvis Land company
property, Mr.. Silvis estimates the cost
Of erecting 100 model worktngmen's
houses, all Of different design, will be
more than $135.000. and for that reason
the company cannot proceed far with

Having been nominated in prim-

people of Florida for the highest Of
fee within their gift, forgetting past
factional differences, 1t IS the duty of
the people of the state to hold up the
hands of this young man so that he
will be encouraged and inspired to
give them the very best service that
is in him.
This paper has only the profoundest
good will for Mr.. Bryan and it hopes
to see him take high rank in the great
tribunal to which he has been or soon
will be elected.
With the exception of Henry Clay,
Luke Lea, and a few others, Mr.. Bry-
an is the youngest man that has ever
been elected to the senate of the
United States. 1t is an exceptional
high honor and is one that can be
given to only few among thousands.
Mr.. Bryan comes of good stock, he
has made strong friends, he has
achieved a reputation in his profes-
sion and has made his impress felt
upon his community and what he has
done within the compass of private
citizen this paper hopes that when he
enters upon a larger field of action
that he will achieve the same measure
of success and will heap rich and
abundant honors upon his state.
