Palatka's Big Celebration.

An enormods crowd attended the
Palatka Fourth of July celebration.
This growing city on the ST. Johns de-
serves great deal of credit for the
preparations made TO entertain the visi-
tors and gave them good time. s..
Augustine was largely represented,
many going over both by automobile
and rail
1t was an unfortunate circumstance
that heavy rainStorm marred the morn
ine'S program, but clearing skies in the
afternoon made il possible to carry out
great many events. There was a
grand fireworks celebration last night,
and other entertainment for the visitors.
Many people visited Palatka yesterday
who had not been there in some time,
and the marvellous changes and improve
mentS called forth ordinations of pleas.
AMI surprise. The brick paved streets
and concrete sidewalks have been fol.
lowed by other improvements. The
citizens seem TO vie with one another in
bringing their premises up to standard
in keeping with the work done by the
city.
Then, again, the miles of paved
streets have induced many residents TO
purchase automobiles. There was a
noticeable display of decorated cars yes.
terday, about forty being in line, and all
decorated in manner that would have
done credit 10 even the largest cities of
the country. The automobile display
was undoubtedly one of the features of
the day.
The county bridge across the, St.
Johns was thrown open to the public
yesterday free of all charge and from
this va atage point fully a thousand peo-
pie viewed the boat races. Gainesville
and Ocala sent large delegations while
from Crescent City and sur.
rounding country came by boat and car

"OLD BILL" Miner FREE
MAKES GOOD HIS BOAST THAT HE
WOULD ESCAPE FROM
PRISON.
Saws Way Out of MIIedgeviIIe Peni.
Tertiary and Takes TWO Com.
panions With Him.

Milledgeville, Ga.-"Old Bill" Mi,
ner, bandit and train robber serving
a twenty-year sentence in the Geor-
gia penitentiary, made good his
threat of few months ago when
he declared that he would again gain
his freedom.
When guards at the prison farm
made their rounds they discovered
that Miner was gone, and had taken
with him w. ]. Widencamp, 'lifer''
from Tattnall county, and W. NJ. Wig
gins, sent up from the same county
for one year for carrying a pistol.
The chains and sbackle were found
locked to his bed, and the iron rings
in the walls of the room, but the old
man had gone. He sawed the irons
away, and then cut the bars of the
window, crawled out and dropped
from the second story. The other
prisoners who escaped were not man
acled.
Miner was a western gold and sill
yer miner before he turned train rob
Der. That accounts for his now be-
ing called Miner"
Miners first escape on October 16,
last year, was also spectacular. At
that time he choked a guard into in
sensibility, while he told a companion
to hold a gun at his head took the
guards pistol and escaped.
With him escaped his companion,
Tom Moore, life prisoner, and John
Watts, of Pulaski county, also a life
man, convicted of killing a man and
his wife.

REBELS LOSE IN BATTLE
oRozco's ARMY, DEFEATED AT
BACHIM5A, is NOW A DlSoR-
CANNED MOB.
orozce Admits Rout of His Army and
Blames the United States
for Defeat.

Chihuahua, MeXico-The rebels
who had occupied Chihuahua for near
ly five months as their capital and
base, evacuated in the face of a rap
idly-moving column of cavalry, the
vanguard of General Huerta's army
which drove the rebels from Bachim-
ba, forty miles south of here.
Losses in the fighting were great
as the battlefield was sUrewn with
the dead and wounded on both sides
The rebels had clung tenaciously to
their positions, but the combined as
saults of infantry and cavalry, sup
ported by the deadly fire of the ar
tillery, had forced them to yield stra-
tegic hills and ranges overlooking the
canyon.
Determined to save the city, if pos
sible, from looting and rioting, Gen
eral Orozto declared he had sent his
troops in various directions from
Mapula, avoiding a return to Chihua-
hua. He added that the troop trains
which had been sent through Chihua-
hua without stopping would be halted
at Sauz and Montezuma, 1870 and ia
miles south of JuareZ.
Juarez will be the rebel capital
hereafter.
The rebels will try to mobilize OPP
posite FL Paso, a strategic entrance
TO the state of Sonora. General Oroz-
co admitted that lack of ammunition
and superior Federal artillery made
it futile to attempt to hold Bachimba.
He has distributed his forces in sew
eral directions, but the mobilization
point will be close to the American
border, if there is one. Rebel officers
sa yit will be guerrilla warfare from
now on.
