REDHEAD REMAINETH ABSENT
AND UNACCOUNTED FOR

No word has ever been received
from J. o. Redhead. city ticket
agent Of the Atlantic Coast Line,
who disappeared from Tampa about
six weeks ago, leaving his accounts
short some $4,000. Redhead was
very popular with the railroad men
in Tampa, and had many friends
who were shocked to learn that he
was found to be out in his accounts.
Travelling Passenger Agent Y. R.
Beasley stated that he did not think
at first that the man had taken any
of the Coast Lines money, but may
have gone on a little spree. As he
had asked for a few days vacation.
it was supposed he might have had
friends, but this proved to be with
out foundation. It Is said that the
young man was engaged to marry a
beautiful young lady In Orlando,
where he was stationed for several
months with the Coast Line.-Tam-
ap Times.

UNKNOWN NEGRO
DROWNED N MUD LAKE
Browning Occurred at 8 O'Clock
Yesterday and Body Has Not
Yet Been Recovered

An unknown and apparently de-.
mented negro was drowned In Mud
Lake, near Lake Bony, yesterday at
ternoon, while several men sat on
the bank watching him and not sus-
pecting that he was So near death.
The negro was first seen by Mr..
A. J. Goodman. He had no hat
nor coat and acted queerly. When
questioned by Mr.. Goodman he ran
and entered the lake. BY this time
Jasper Sloan and Alexander Warn
came up, and they tried to persuade
the negro to come out. He replied
he didn't want to 60 back to
town." and went further out into
the lake. The men saw him make
as If to dive. and supposed he was
going to another point on the shore.
He came up Gt the same spot he
went down, repeated the diving op-
Grafton once or twice, and finally
came up no more.
Meanwhile, word had been sent to
town, as 1t was thought the man
was an escaped convict, and Officers
Marshall and Tillis came out, but
the man was under the water when
they arrived.
There being no way to recover the
body just then, the officers told the
men to meet them there this morn
ing with boats, ropes, ETC., to get
the rcdy out. At noon today the
men were on the shores Of the lake,
awaiting further instructions from
some one in authority, no one hav-
ng shown up. 1t is not known
whether the body has been taken
from the lake yet or not.
The negro was unknown to any
one who saw him. and was evident
ly dcmented.
