A QUICK CAPTURE

Mr. Waldo w. Martin of Martin
was a Sunday visitor to Ocala. and
returned home via automobile, and
before going to his place, a short dis
tance from the depot, left his grip
sack on the station platform During
the interval the Atlantic Coast Line
three O'Clock train passed along, and
a colored passenger seeing the grip
all by it's lonesome, thought that it
ought to have someone to care for it,
so acting upon the suggestion imme-
diately appropriated it. Mr. Martin
returned in a few minutes, only to
find his property missing. An auto
mobile happened to be standing near
and the owner kindly consented to
bring him to Ocala, and. if possible,
beat the train here. This feat was
accomplished, and as soon as the
train pulled in, Mr.. Martin boarded
it, quickly recognized and recovered
his property, and as Deputy Brigance
happened to be on the platform he
was notified of the theft, and the
thief was soon behind prison bars.
The theft, the pursuit, the recovery
of the grip and the arrest and i'm
prisonment of the culprit was all
done within less than half an hour.

A PRETTY FAREWELL LETTER

Ketchikan, Alaska, Nov. 26, 1912.
To the Editor -Ocala Banner:
Have been reading the Weekly
Banner for one and one-half years,
and have come to feel great inter
est in your town, and almost per-
sonal acquaintance with the Banners
editor, whose editorials and letters
have been highly enjoyable, and
whose manly and dignified course
must have compelled the respect of
all within the sphere of his influence.
It is therefore with a feeling akin to
pain" that, in view Of contemplated
changes in my habitat, which is LA
BILE to be more or less migratory in
the near future, l am compelled, as
it were, to cut short our acquaintance
by Withholding a remittance.
Yours respectfully,
D. G. NEWELL.
