For two days Miles BeardsIey, 78
years old, one of the few remaining
members of this well known family,
who resides at 221 Gilbert street,

appeared to be but minor bruises later
developed into intense pain he, did not
realize the seriousness of the matter
until passing the emergency hospital

GOLD MEDAL FOR A
BRIGHT BOY OR GIRL.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and 10
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 500 words, on the repair and
maintenance of earth roads, is to be
awarded by Logan Waller Page, Dr.
rector of the Office of Public Roads,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. C. All compo-
sitions must be submitted to Mr.. Page
before May 18th, and the medals will
be awarded as soon thereafter as the
compositions can be graded. The
composition may be based on know
ledge gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations should be
made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation,
it is Mr.. Pages belief that ignorance
on the subject of repair and mainte-
nance of roads is as much the cause of
their bad condition as any other fac
tor. It is expected that the competi-
ton will bring about a better under
standing of the subject of repair and
maintenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantage of roads made impossible
through lack of proper maintenance
and it is expected that their interest in
the competition will stimulate greater
interest among the parents. Bad roads
have prevented many children from OBJ
tanning a proper education and even
prevented doctors from reaching the
bedside of rural patients in time to
save their lives.
Any child between the ages man
TONED, attending a country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered the name, age,
and address of the writer. and the
name and location of the school which
he or she is attending must be plain
iy written at the top of the first page.
The announcement of the competition
has been sent to the superintendent
OF schools in the rural districts No
further information can be obtained
from the Office of Public Roads. This
announcement should be plain TO ev-
eryone, and all children viii thus start
on basis of equality.

Quite an important meeting was
held in the Board of Trade rooms on
Thursday at which the board of gov
errors and a number of others were
present to meet a committee consist
ing of Messrs. L. E Dozier, B. F..
Watts and l. NJ Johnson of the pros
porous city of Leesburg, to talk over
the deepening and otherwise improv-
ing the Oklawaha river. As the meet
ing seems to have been such an inn
portant one we regret that this paper
was not invited to have a representa-

1t is not customary or considered nee
essary to invite newspapers to send
representatives to such meetings. They
are expected to look out for them and
have their representatives on hand.
The Star reporter was not invited. He
walked In and his presence was taken
as a matter of course. Uncle Frank is
a member Of the Board of Trade, and
is always welcome at its meetings. The
governors are busy men. who left their
own business to look after that OF the
city. and probably not one Of them
thought about newspaper reporter
till they saw him.

BRAVE LITTLE BAND
OF FederaIs Under Ojeda at Naeo Cen
tinue to RepeI Constitutional
Assaults

Naco. Ariz., April 11.-Although be-
sieged by a force three times their
number Ojeda's federals yesterday
continued their aggressive fighting by
brilliant sallies from Naco, Sonora
Each time the state troops attempted
to attack, the little barefooted soldiers
met them not alone with fire from the
trenches, but with charges and coun-
charges
Ojeda, however, lost many capable
men, among them captain, Mendoza,
who had shown great valor in the
early fighting. One OF the American
negro deserters from the Ninth United
States Cavalry, while operating fed
eral machine gun from the roof of the
barracks, fell TO the ground pierced by
dozen bullets.
The row of coke cars placed along
the line by Col Guilfoyle prevented
many shots from reaching the Ameri-
can town.

WORTH WATCHING

The Columbia, S. c. State says: In
Princeton, n. J., last Monday a motor
car struck a young girl and killed her
instantly. The car did not stop, the
driver increasing the speed. A by
stander, however, caught the number
of the car, and, by the use Of the tele-
phone, the car was stopped and it's
two occupants arrested at New Bruins
wick, a town some miles away
The owner of the car after his arrest
said that he thought the girl was only
slightly hurt.
Occurrences of the kind are not un-
common in the neighborhood of New
York, the novelty in this being that
the siayers of the young woman were
caught. The owner Of the car is Q
business man of New York and ap-
parently man of means.
Surprising that the account of the
affair is true, an excellent opportu-
nifty for the exemplifcation of Jersey
Justice is furnished. When a motor
car strikes a person and the owner
and driver fee in the car at a speed
Of thirty or forty miles an hour, the
presumption that they are conscious
of guilt Is very great. Evidence to
overcome it would be hard to imagine
Not only is the presumption of crime
strong, but there is another that the
doors of it are singularly selfish, cruel
and coward1y.
The progress of the Princeton case
is worth watching. Unless the facts
have been grossly misstated the fail
ure to send these men to the peniten-
tiary for manslaughter would expose
New Jersey as state in which man
may kill an unoffending woman mere
ly to get her out OF his path.

ATTEMPTED AssAssrNATIoN

Mr.. L Hurst, returning at noon to-
day from Umatilla. told Of the at
tempted murder Of Mr.. T. P. Fennell
at that place yesterday afternoon by a
negro named Tom McRae. Mr.. Fem
nell, who is a sawyer at a mill at Una
tilla. ordered the negro TO stop piling
logs at a place where they interfered
with the machinery. The negro was
persistent and insolent, and finally
provoked Mr.. Fennell into speaking to
him quite severely. The negro there
upon drew pistol and fired twice at
Mr. Fennell, ore bullet striking him in
the neck. The negro made his escape,
as of the white men present not one
was armed.
Mr.. F. P. Fennell, the wounded man,
is brother of Mr.. J. NJ Fennell of
Ocala. He is severely wounded. the
bullet being in his neck right back OF
his throat He did not rest last night
and was in much pain when Mr.. Hurst
left this morning.

power. Tampa, Pensacola and some
other Florida towns which are now
crying for commission government,
should profit by the experience of
Jacksonville. Any movement which
takes the control Of public affairs away
from the public. is unwise--DeLand
News.
The Star has no doubt that a small
and compact body of business men
could attend to the affairs of a city
better than a legislative body-if it
would The trouble is, that when such
a bunch is in power, the temptation to
use the power TO make an autocracy
of itself always becomes irresistible.
The people OF city or state should
look after their government. If they
are too lazy or too ignorant to insist
on good government, they viii never
have IT. And they will never learn
how under commissions, which are
simply modern versions of the oil
garchies that made life in the Italian
republics more uncomfortable to free
men than in the monarchies OF Eng
land and France.
