COURT SAYS NO
DUEL WAS FOUGHT
UPHOLDS WIDOWS CLAIM AGAINST
KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.
SELF DEFENSE Is ALLEGED
Policy on Life of Husband of Mrs. Hattie
Baker Held to Be Valid and De.
cision of Lower Court Is
Reversed.

Jackson.-The case of Mrs. Hattie Ba.
ker vs.. the Supreme Lodge, Knights of
Pythias, which was before the supreme
court from Pamela county, grew out of a
tragedy which occurle ed some months ago
at Batesville. Baker, the husband of the
appellee, had a policy in the Pythian or
der, which policies contain an anti-duel-
ing clause, which would have the effect
OF violating the policy, provided the in
sured member should engage in a duel or
should meet his death through violation
OF the law. 1t appears Baker and a man
naemd Lester had a difficulty, the latter
approaching Baker in a threatening man
ner with a weapon in hand, when the
deceased invited him to put down your
gun and fight it out" to which invitation
the other demurred, then followed by A
suggestion by Baker hat he be allowed
to get his own pistol and they shoot it
out at a dozen PAGES. Lester appears to
have assented to this, and Baker arose,
walked across the room, and as he did
so, thrust his hand into his bosom to
draw out a revolver, whereupon Lester
fired and killed him.
In the opinion of the court, this could
not be classified as a duel, though UNI
doubtedly Baker, in carrying a weapon
concealed about his person, was in that
way violating the law. The court held,
however, that the appellant was entitled
to some benefit from her husbands pol
icy, based on the general mortality and
expectation of life tables, and that the
case should be reversed.

MONEY MARKET is EASY.
Farmers Are Offered Plenty of Six Per
Cent Loans.

The withdrawal of foreign building
and loan corporations from Mississippi
on the LIST of January, on which date the
new statute lowering the legal rate of
interest from ten to eight per cent has
apparently not diminished the volume OF
money available for loans, and thus far
there have been no complaints of the
scarcity of money when reasonable Sc
curity is offered.
On the contrary, the companion stat
ute exempting from taxation all money
loaned at six per cent Or less has SEEM
ingly brought into activity a large vol
ume of money, and loans are not diff
cult to obtain, either upon city or farm
property.

MAYOR ROBERTSON IN JACKSON

Heis a natural-born booster for his
home town He said: "Ocala is city,
with more than seven thousand six
hundred people living there, and it is
the hvest place in the state for its
size. We are the center Of one Of the
greatest phosphate industries in the
world, and in addition to that we ship
out the only real fine cantaloupes in

Our men do not believe in shipping
out to commission merchants. 1t is
too costly in the long run, and they
get better satisfaction by selling and

Mr.. Robertson says that Irish pota-
toes do not appeal to the growers in
his section. The cost of production is
too high, the dangers of loss through
unreasonable weather too great, and

REGARDING THE CATTLE TICK
Palatka, Fla, May %, 1913.

To the Editor OcaIa Banner:
l notice in last weeks Ocala Banner
a letter from the National Stock Yards
in Illinois, relating to our cattle not
fetting fat because they feed on grass
that was grown too near the water.
That theory perhaps will work in some
ranges, but not in ours here in this
county, because | have butchered
some as fine beeves off of Paine's
Prairie as were ever raised in the
west or any other section of the coun-
try, and also out of the fiat woods in
Marion and Putnam counties, and all
through south Florida, right off the
marsh ! am of the same opinion as
Mr. S. H. Gaitskill when he says it is
the tick One great mistake our stock
men make is in not crossing their cat
tie with good bloOded males. | will
give you a little instance of it.
butchered some steers April 5th, about

right off the grass. They were not
what | would call fat, however, but
all would pass in the market for beef.
These steers We're the result of
cross with a Short-horn male that |
bought from Mr.. H. G. Chambliss of
Ocala, four years ago | bought a
bunch of steers last week right off the
same kind of range, but they were
the common Florida cattle that had
been interbred for years with no new
blood, and ten of them averaged only
800 to 400 pounds gross. Anyone can
see that blood counts, and | can take
any man out on our range and show
him the difference between old stock
and stock that has been crossed with
new blood. Many stockmen are
adopting the plan of crossing their
stock with new blood, but on the other
hand there are those who are yet in
the rut, and stick to the old scrubs.
Yours for better stock,
