Tom D. Howard, the young rail-
road man who was killed in a pistol
fight with E. w. King at Montbrook
Friday, was we'll known to many
Ocala people. He ran in and out OF
this city as fiagman on the Homo
sassa train with Conductor Goodyear
up to about a year ago. King was in
charge of the road crusher at Mont
brook, and Howard, it is alleged, was
meeting his daughter contrary to the
wishes OF her father. A day or so
before the killing, the two men met
and King ordered Howard to stay
away from the girl. Heated words
passed between the men, but they
separated without serious trouble.
When they met Friday they did not
more than speak when both drew
pistols and began firing. Howard
shot King thru the body and the lat
ter fell to the ground dying, but raj
| lied long enough TO send a bullet into
! Howard. The ball struck Howard on
! the right side OF his abdomen and
tore thru his body, coming out under
/ his lett shoulder. Howard died in
stantly, and King did not remain
alive long.

CANCELLATION Of
ACCOUNTS FAVORED

In special report to the city commits
sion completed yesterday, Harry S.
Shea rman, city auditor, recommends the
cancellation OF large amount of uncol-
lected water rates and other accounts
carried on the city books as revenue or
assets. His purpose is to close all worth
less accounts from the books and estab-
)ish new and uncompllca ted basis for
determining the condition Of city finances.
From 1905 TO 1909. according TO the re-
pert. there accumulated S4S,o69.l5 un-
collected water rates. which were then
being carried as revenue on The books.
That year the city council passed a reso-
luton that these accounts be Cancelled
and taken out or the revenue, To Offset
the Cancelled asset the collector of rates
created suspense account as liability
The auditor now recommends that these
worthless accounts be wiped off the books
and the collectors books Strengthened out
by debiting the suspense account and
crediting the collectors account.
In addition TO this bit of financial
housecleaninG, the auditor recommends
that the uncoleoted water rates since
1909. amounting to sic, ,l65 73. be similar
)y dealt with. that is, removed from the
revenue accounts and charged to the
waterworks fund.
Also It IS recommended that numerous
accounts due the city from various In
dlvlduals. dating many years back In
some instances. be referred to the city
OF their collection and then dropped as
assets II the attorney so finds.
dozen OF so accounts carried as capi-
tai assets should be cleared off the books,
the auditor believes. Among these the
largest item is that OF s1,773 81. repre-
sented in the stock of the Dalton &
Lark Mining and Milling company a cor
poration now defunct and without
charter,
At the time OF the failure of the Salt
Lake City bank in 1896. John S. May.
the city treasurer. accepted the stock as
security for a note. The city's account
was kept In the bank and finally the
city accepted the stock in settlement OF
its claims against Mr.. May. The audi
tor explains I'm his report that this stock
is absolutely worthless, In fact, does not
now exist.
II tho recommendations Of the auditor
are concurred in. the city will rid itself
of large number Of worthless accounts
that only serve to cucumber the books
and create confusion In arriving at the
exact financial status of the city.
