That the 500 line is thinking
seriously Of running a spur line
out into the Silver Prairie coun-
try south of Leonard is now ap-
parent, as Frank L. Thompson,
general freight agent of the line
was in that territory last week
looking over the lay of the coun-
try and is said to be favorably
impressed with the amount of the
business from. that locality that
would be secured in event that
the road was built. The spur
would probably be in the neigh
borhood Of thirty miles in length
taping the main line at Mcleod.
It would run in q northeas sterly
direction from this point to Home
stead and probably as far as Bar
rie. There is q wide scope Of
country in this locality that is a
good distance from any railroad,
and the marketing of produce
has been hazardous task for a
great many years. The new line
would be an excellent feeder to
the main line Of the 500 and a
considerable amount of business
would be taken away from the N.
P. and Great Northern lines. Mr..
Thompson is always on the alert
for more business for his line
and was in the locality for the
purpose of locating a site for the
new Farmers elevator that is a
bout to be erected at the small
station of Venlo. He will undoubt
edlv return within a week OF so
and proposed route will be gone
over. Should the 500 desire TO
build into that section many of
the farmers would gladly give
the right-of-way across their
farms Sheldon Progress.

Jacksonville

Jacksonville, Aug. 11.-WaIter F
Coachman, chairman OF the board Of
directors OF the Consolidated Naval
Stores Company, and owner OF val
liable st. Johns river frontage at
Commodore Point, was the central
figure about whom the board OF port
commissioners revolved last week on
behalf OF the owners OF the site TO
take s1,000,000 of the bonds at
guaranteed par value, if the board
could purchase Commodore's Point
for dock purposes. This would pay
for the land and leave S25O,O0O for

incidentally, Mr. Coachman pre-
dicted that if Jacksonville becomes
the naval stores center of the coun-
try, the cotton business of the coun-
try will be brought here.

LIMA BEANS BAKED

Landham, Md, Aug. 11.-Beans,
large and juicy, of the lima variety,
cooked with a de!icacy that would
suit the palate of an epicure, are be-
ing gathered from the vine in a truck
garden here.
William Williams possessed a gar
den containing this cooked bean
vine" How the growing beans
bcame to be cooked is thus related by
Williams:
He was afraid the vines might
be destroyed by storm if he allowed
them to climb on ordinary poles. He
had planted several rows, each about
a city square in length, ana to guard
against the blowing down of the
Fcles he stretched wire between
them. Lightning struck me wires
and cooked the beans. William and
his family do the rest.

DREADFUL FATE OF DAVIS .
Butchered by Man Whom He Had
efTienGed-Ghastly Tragedy
Near GroVeIand

Tararez, Aug. IA horrible
murder was committed last week
about four miles northeast OF Grove
land
John Brown, Swede, about
twenty-one years old, and Fred w.
Davis, aged about fifty, slept together
on the fatal night, but how the muir
der was first discovered is not made
clear. AT any rate, a bloody axe was
found, and Deputy Sheriffs Lenton
and Revells unearthed the body of
Davis in a small lake, in about fif-
teen feet of water, weighted with
two railroad angle plates. Sheriff
Smyth was apprised Of the circum-
stances in the case, and was soon on
the spot and arrested John Brown,
who tells the following:
That he was sleeping with Davis,
and that the latter committed sui
eide; that fearing he would be ac-
cused he decided TO remove all signs
Of a death. That he burned all the
bloody clothes, even cutting a bloody
portion of the bed-ticking away,
throwing sand on all blood-stained
spots in the yard. He then got a
wagon and hauled the body of the
dead man TO and into the lake, as far
as possible with a wagon, then got
out and towed it to where he sank it
to the bottom Of the lake
The skull was broken on both
sides of the head and with some in
possibly like a pitchfork
the head had been stabbed from
the back, nearly coming through the
face and .38-caIiber bullet found its
way through the top of the head,
having the appearance OF having been
fired while the body was down.
At the inquest held by Justice
Free it was in evidence that Davis
was dead when shot, so if this be
true, the dead man could not have
shot himself Brown had 50 on his
person, which he says Davis gave
him.
Brown was remanded to jail with
out bail.

Scut it out" She fiuttered nervously
through the forenoon's calls, then went to
the tearoom, where she was temporarily
cheered by good talk with Miss Olney,
whose Wholesomeness served to steady her.
Miss Olney had just left her to finish her
lunch alone, when Judith saw young Hooker
enter through the swinging doors. He gazed
about the room; then, seeing her, came di-
rectly to her table. Instant fight was
Judith's first thought. This being incom-
patible with dignity, she waited.
The young man lifted his hat. "May
sit down here?"
Certainly" said Judith; @but am just
going
@Wait, want to talk with YOU" He sig
nailed waitress and ordered pot of strong
coffee you're great little reporter"
Il am only beginner" Judith said help
lessly.
you'll soon have the ropes"
Judith waited.
@Have you ever been in lover" he asked
with sudden desperate earnestness.
Judith colored. 81 don't think So
not really"
He leaned nearer His eyes were blood
shot and burning; but his breath was free
of liquor. Suppose you did love someone
with all there was of you-and you made
complete fool of yourself and stood to lose
lose all that life could give-all that mat
tered-you get me?'
ooh, yes!' In a fash the situation be-
came real to Judith's vivid imagination.
Her sensitive face flushed, her eyes grew
soft and tender. The man, desperately in
earnest, was leaning very close and speaking
very low; for the neighboring tables were
full. Suddenly, bending still closer, his
thin, nerveless hand gripped hers.
@Then help me by keeping still, y he whis-
pered. "Be a good sport-Mo told me.
On the heels of the nervous, broken words
came another voice, low, ringing, distinct.
NO. l thank you, won't wait for table.
Judith quickly drew away her hand and
lifted her eyes to those of her editor. He
stood not six feet away, hat in hand, his
broad shoulders Strengthened back, his mas
sive head well up, looking handsomer than
she had ever seen him. He met her look,
smiled with aloof politeness, then turned
and went out.
