morning. Only asfew devoted friends
whom he dared to trust followed him

die was bound for Vera Cruz to
take ship for Spain. In the distance
he could hear the voices of a few
of the more enthusiastic celebrants
who were still acclaiming the new
president, Francisco Leon de la Bac-
ra, and shouting viva Madero."
So carefully were the arrange
ments made for the ex-presidents
escape that details could not be con-
firmed until yesterday afternoon.
Secrecy was due less to apprehension
of a popular outburst here than to
a desire to reach Vsra Cruz without
the fact being known to marauding
bands along the route.
Travel between this city and the
seaport usually is over Tie Mexican
railroad, a standard gauge line with
modern eQuipmnt. Rails along the
this route, however, frequently have
been removed OF late by bandits who
were determined that Diaz, for rea-
sons best known to themselves should
not leave the capital. These are
reported to have harbored the idea
that Diaz would follow the precedent
of other Latin-American presidents
and carry the national funds with
him.

Rules, Which if Followed Would Re.
duCe DANGERS From Fire
TO the Minimum.

The following suggestions for
the prevention of fires were hand
ed to The News by X. T. English,
chef of the Mobridge fire depart
ment, and it is unnecessary to
state that if they are quite closely
observed, the danger of loss of
property by fire would be reduced
to the minimum, especially at this
season of the year when fires are
more likely to break out than at
times when there are not so many
stoves and furnaces in operation:
Keep the supply of matches in
metal boxes, and throughout the
house they should be confined in a
proper receptacle and out of the
reach of children.
See that lamps are not filed by
artificial light, or after dark.
That coal oil is kept in metal
cans and in safe place.
|
That no oily rags are left around
the premises over night outside of
a good metal receptacle.
That gas brackets have wire
globes over them where there is
danger of window curtains being
blown into the flames.
That the furnace or heating ap-
paratus is seen to by a competent
person before retiring.

and paper are removed or placed

LIGHT ON THE GAME LAW
Reddick, Fla, Sept. z, 1911.

Reddick, Fla, Sept. z. 1911.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
l have been reading up on the diff
ferent fish and game laws passed by
the last legislature.
Here are some of them:
You people who fish in Orange
Lake, please take notice that it is
unlawful for you to catch trout that
measures less than ten inches from
forks of tail to end of nose; jack-fish
less than twelve inches, and speckled
perch must measure more than eight
inches, while Dream are to be no less
than six inches.
In Marion county you can fish in
the rivers and streams with any kind
of fishing tackle you like, but not in
the ponds and lakes. You may only
Ash in the ponds and lakes with
hook and line. You may do with the
fish caught in the rivers and streams
of the county as you please, and you
may sell to home-folks the fish you
catch out of the lakes and ponds, but
no fish caught out of Lake Weir can
lawfully be sold to anyone.
You may hunt deer west of the Ok
lawaha river with dogs, but you dare
not hunt east of the river. The
open season is from September 1 to
November /.
st. Johns county $50 says the last
law has an open season during June
July and August.
In Gadsden county no game is to
be killed during the next five years.
and the game wardens are instructed
to rigidly enforce the law.
Taylor and Lafayette counties say
that no deer, turkey, quail or squir
rels are to be killed in the next five
years.
Calhoun county's law says that you
must pay license of $1.50 per head
to fish, and must be tagged besides.
Lee county says that home folks
must pay a license fee of $25, and
strangers $50 per year to fish in that
county, and 50 for five days. Osceols
county says the same thing.
There were 81 local fish bills fol
the 1911 legislature and 10 for the
1909 legislature.
Much heap fish. bills! Wise legisla
tors! L. S. LIGHT.
