From Frid&y's Daily:
At threef O'Clock Thursday morning

there was 10 possible hope of his re-
eovery. AIN 1.-THE morning friends anx-
iously awaited news from his bed
side, and Then at two-forty-fiye in
the afternodh it was announced that
the end had eome and death had been

intense sorrpw and regret, and the
very deep sympathy of the communi.
~ goes out to Mrs Boiler and her
young son il the tragedy and sorrow
that has cohe into their lives.
After the Tragedy of Saturday night
in which M. Boiler was so horribly
stabbed, it Gas hoped that Mr. Boiler
might be a4e to pull through. The
clean. morat and sober life that the
injured maH had always lived was
greatly in fs favor, but in spite of
every possibl thing that could be
done for hin it was not possible to
save his lifk
Mr.. BoIle& was s3 years OF age, a
native of NdffollS, Va, as was also his
wife, Miss Roberts. to whom he was
married in @aat city fifteen years ago,
IT the earlf ageof eighteen. One
son, Ivan, aged thirteen, also sur
wives.
Mr.. Eoller and family moved to
Ocala four years ago next February
rom Norfolk. At one time Mr.. Boiler
vas connected with the Ocala Iron
Works, but later bought farm about
~ miles ont on the Anthony road
where he lived until Saturday nights
ragedy. For the past year, besides
rs farming9 operations, Mr. Boiler
was also engaged in the wen drilling
business, and was we'll known to
most of our scitizens He was a hand
ome man, young, and that his life
las ended 50 tragically is one Of the
most deplorable things that has ever
occurred in our city, and is very great
regretted.
AS is known, Mr.. Hurst and Mr..
Boiler had9a quarrel over the division
f the crops, Mr. Hurst farming Mr..
}oller's lapd ON shares. The quarrel
ed to blows, and Mr.. Hurst stabbed
lr. Boller with a pruning knife, in
iicting some terrible wounds. Mr..
iurst's step-son, man by the name
4 Simpson also fired at Mr. Boiler,
ut the shot went wild Both men
ave beeAS in jail since the night of
he TRAGEDY. Mrs. Hurst is also said
o have had a hand in the trouble,
md is also under arrest.
Mrs. Boner and son will remain in
Ocala for 1he present, until they can

ANOTHER sLocAL VICTORY

more evenly matched tearps than
those representing Lawtey and Ocala

could be judged, both teams put on
the field only heir home boys, who
played good baseball. 1t is likely
that the game would have gone the
full full nine inNings without run be-
ing scored by either side had it not
been for an unfortunate error by Law

ocala's errorss amounted to nothing
and had no eject upon the result of
the game.
John ChazH again occupied the
mound for thk home team, and while
he did not take a strike-out record
he pitched WRll and allowed only four
hits, two of Them scratches. His con-
troll was excellent, and only one man
was given n base on balls. He prac-
tically WonNhi sown game, as it was
his run I'M &the seventh inning which

steal the second bag, and Harris
struck dut. Davis also famed.
During six full innings neither side
was ahle to tally, although both teams
had runners on the bases in several
inningsE Ocala should have scored in
the fourth. After Bats had been re-
tired dh a long fly to center, Harris
hit to third base, too hot to handle,
and reached first safely. Davis imme-
diately sent long drive to right field
and HaGris legged it to third. Davis
tried tdEstretch his single into a dou-
Bile, bud was an easy out at second
base. .1ohn Chazal was out, George
to Buster Brown, and Harris was left
on third base.
In tho seventh inning Ocala won the

proved 70 be sufficiency. John Cha
zal singled to right field, and Harris
was put on first to run for him. Ju-
lius~ Brown hit to the same territory,
but the ball was dropped, Harris
reaching second and Brown first. Both
runneFs advanced base on a short
passed ball, and Harris crossed the
plate Eith Chazals run, while Charlie
Chaz3 was being thrown out at first.
LaNtey put forth it's best effort in
the ninth inning. Lastinger signled
throdgh second base, but was forced
out when H. Pearce hit to Bats. H.
Burney was out on a grounder to Bull

hit to Charlie Chazal, who, in his anx-

If you see steam whistle blowing

Interfere with Fireman


AS matter of much interest to
the public we call the attention of
the public to the reckless manner
in which persons. In all kinds of
vehicles, are rushing to the scene
OF the fire every time an alarm is
sounded. during such hours as the
public is up and about. Last Sun
day night the firemen were COM
PEELED to take the hose carts upon
the sidewalks, more than once, in
order to avoid being run down by
such persons. It is natural to sup
pose in cases of fire that the fire
men should have the right of way,
but recently such has not been the
case, but on the contrary, they
have been compelled to get out OF
the way of teams, automobiles, ETC.,
none of which have offered to give
any assistance, either in getting the
men or the hose carts to the scene
of the fire

Il Looks Just as 1t Did When Romeo

This was the home of the Capulets,
from whom descended Juliet, for
whom so many kind hearts have wept
and of whom the poets have sung.
You read the words on tablet by
the side of a tall and slender gray
house in a quiet street Of Verona. A
few steps farther on the busy life of
the old city is centered in the market
place and in the one or two streets
that lead from it. You stand In front
of the lightly built dwelling. and you
look at the slim balcony of wood from
which bent forward the form of the
radiant girl whose undying love story
has echoed down the ages. 1t Is an
autumn day, and within the rail Of the
narrow framework some one has plac-
ed red flowers in tall green pots.

the breeze, and you expect at any mo-

appear and to hear a ripping laugh fall
from her lips.
A woman steps froni the room be-

stands to listen. She has child in
her arms. and he elaps his hands,
laughing and growing, no doubt just as
the beloved Veronese did centuries ago,
The mother bushes him, for she is in

THE FRIENDLEss SPIDER.
He's Pretty Good Insect In Spite of
His Looks and His Webs.

He's Pretty Good Insect In Spite Of
His Looks and His Webs.
Aside from snakes. there is probably
no living thing which can look to man
kind for friendship with so little hope
as the spider, yet when the spider Is
fairly brought to trial it is rather hard
to prove anything against him except
his appearance and few cobwebs.
Apart from furnishing an example
Of industry and patience from which
we might well profit, the spider feeds
exclusively upon freshly killed insects,
all of them being of the kind denounc-
ed by sanitary authorities, the house
fly being its favorite quarry.
AS the actual destruction Of few
hundred housefies means that several
hundred thousand that would other
wise have spent gay lives in transmit
ting typhoid and other diseases will
not come into existence and as almost
any spider should be able to account
for as many as 300 in the course of a
summer. to say nothing of stray mos
quitoes and black gnats, we surely owe
him something more than flap with
slipper when we happen to catch
him out of his hole.
A spider can bite, Of course, but he
seldom does except in self defense,
and even then the bite is not much
worse than would have been received
from any one of the several hundred
mosquitoes he has probably dined
upon or will, if let alone. In the light
of present scientific knowledge the
story of the spider and the fly that
was invited into the pretty parlor does
not cause such surge of sympathy
for the fly as it once did.-Harper's

When former Mayor J.Barry Ma

"a Democrat is one who advo-

But he continued, "that does
not NECESSARILY mean that one who

because he is opposed to nominees
of that party must be driven out
of the party.
''The principles of Democracy
do not change, but the men who
represent those principles do change
When a man knows that his party S
candidates do not stand for the

He is a better Democrat for doing
so.

.'Politics are gradually growing

the principles of a party citizen
