GOOD WILL FARM RUNAWAYs.
Supt. Hinckley Hears from Massachu
sets State Board of Charity.

HinelSley, Me-, OOct 29.-(SpeciaD.
terville Seneinel an item appeared say
ing that two Good Will boys who had
run away, and. later. been found lock-
ed in freight car in Charlestown,
Mass. had been sent on to their home
in Detroit, Me. Neither of the boys
had given the correct name to the
State Board of Charity of Massachu-
sets, which was reported as having
sent them on to Detroit, Me. One boy s
home was in Detroit. Mich, the 9TH
ers in California. AS no communicate
ton had been received from the State
Board of Charity by the Good Will
Home Association, an item was given
to the Maine press, stating the facts
in the case, lest a charge of indiffer-
ence might be lodged against the in
stitution, because it allows another in
stitution to take charge of two of it's
own boys. The management marvelled
that an organized State Board of
Charity should err so greatly as to
send the boys west without asking or
giving any Information.
1t now appears that the State Board
of Charity of Massachusetts is wise
beyond report and the only error or
misunderstanding is due to an incor-
rect report in the Sentinel The fol-
lowing letter came to hand at the
Good Will offices this morning.

London. Oct. 29.-The long awaited
battle which will decide the fate of
Turkey is now being fought. The army
under Nasim Pasha, minister of war
and commander n-chief, is engaged
and according to Constantinople dis
patches the operations are favorable
to The Ottomans. The dispatches, how

Ii is Turkeys last chance to retrieve
an almost hopeless campaign. Nasim
Pashaf is fighting with his back to the

cut and it is impossible for him to get
fresh supplies or renforeements. In
Constantinople the feeling of conf
dence is reviving. 1t is believed the

offensive But this is by no means Ger

less and unsatisfactory day. Vice Pres

while sitting in his chair at $50 O'Clock,
tonight, and at IL O'Clock still was
sleeping. DR.. Peck, who had been with
him most of the time for "a hours, left
for nome expressing confidence that
his patient would go through the night
without great distress. The physicians
issued the following bulletin:
For the past week or 10 days. Mr..
Sherman's friends and physicians have
felt a great deal of solieitude about
him, and for the past three or four
days his uremic condition has caus-
ed great deal of alarm. After a
very disturbing. day. yesterday. he
fell into a natural sleep at II o'clock,
last night. without The aid of sleep
producing drugs, and slept until 5
o'clock, this morning, quietly and
Comfortably.
This afternoon there was recur-
renee OF disturbance, but for the larg-
er part of the afternoon he has been
resting quietly. His heart strength is
keeping up very well. his pulse is from
so to Sc; temperature practically
normal: respiration from II to 80"
During the day there were several
emergency calls from the Sherman house
for the physician. The Vice President
was not in great pain. but was extremely
restless and at times irrational. both Of
which conditions were caused by pres
ence of urernic poison due to the inaction
of the kidneys. DR.. Peck makes no eff
fort to minimize the seriousness of this
condition. but he is hopeful of being able
TO stimulate the kidneys, and IL he sue
ceeds expects a marked Improvement. In
no event does he anticipate vital crisis
for day or two.
There is no effort to conceal the facts
concerning the Vice Presidents case. On
the contrary, both Mr.. Peck and Mr..
Sherman's family concede its critical ma
ture. The doctor says, however, that
kidney disease is of such an Elusive ma
ture that it is quite impossible to fore
tell the course of any given case with
exactness.
DR.. Janeway of New York and DIR. Els

La FOGG DROWNED
IN SILVER SPRINGS MONDAY

Everybody in Ocala was shocked
Mr. Herbert L Fogg had been drown
ed in Silver Springs.
Mr.. Fogg and Mr.. Porter Hull were
enjoying a swim I'M the spring. They
had swan across the stream from the
pavilion. and were on their way back
when Mr.. Fogg was probably seized
with cramp. Mr.. Hull. who was a lit
tie ahead, was in a few yards of the
pavilion, when missing his companion
he turned. only to see Mr.. Fogg go
down. He called for help and men in
boats rushed at once to the rescue. 1t
was some six or seven minutes before
the drowning man could be raised to
the surface. and by that time he was
past saving.
Physicians We're at once summoned
from Ocala, but they could hardly
have saved Mr.. Fogg's life if they had
been on the scene
When Mr.. Fogg went down, he was
few yards from Geo. X Robinson's
boat house. from which he had started
on his return to the pavilion On Mr.
Hull's alarm. every man in hearing
rushed to the boats, of which a num-
of the drowning in couple of minutes
Mr.. George Leigh, a young man. an
employee Of the Rentz mill. made a
brave effort to rescue Mr.. Fogg, whose
body was in plain view thru the clear
water. He dived and caught Mr. Fogg
by the hair, but was unable to raise
him. His dive, considering the deep
water and strong current, was heroic.
Mr.. FogS's body was finally brought
to the surface by Mr. Matchett. the
Ocala Northern agent at the springs.
who succeeded in catching ii with a
graphing iron. II was under water
about seven minutes
Friends came to the city and broke
the news as gently as possible to the
young mans relatives. Beside his
mother, his relatives in the city are
the families of Mr.. John Dozier and
DR.. III. c. Dozier. DR.. Dozier went out
in his car and reached the Springs a
short time after the accident.

years in the employ of the Atlantic
