SOME INTERESTING BITS OF
FLORIDA HISTORY
By J. R. Humphrey. Southport. Fla.

If all the written history was in one
volume and all the un-written history
in another volume. the latter would be
many times larger. Written history
deals with only a few of the most inn
poFtant characters and events. I'm
written history is as large as the past.
As many a flower blooms unseen to
waste its sweetness upon the desert
air so many an event transpires that
would be interesting if we only knew.
/ know of no country richer in un-
written history than is this Ct. An
drews Bay country, a little of which
history I shall try to give below.
AL around this seashore as far as
have been We find sign of the In
dians. There are innumerable shell
beds in size from few yards in diam
eter to banks containing thousands Of
tons OF shell. These beds contain oys-
ters. clam and conch shells. which show
that the Indians lived on all those
things. Broken clay pottery and stone
arrow heads are frequently found in
or near these shell beds which fact
shows that the Indians lived here
where those shell beds We're found.

mans rights at law or equity, no tri-
bunal ever said. The white man moved
him by the force Of arms and appro
priated the spoils unto himself and
now vainly says, 'All this land is
mine" The war that moved the In
dians from this part of the country
as well as the rest of the state began
IN 1885 and continued seven years be-
fore the Indians were moved Ito the
west The war cost the lives of more
than fourteen hundred U. S. soldiers
and many thousands of dollars. To this
add the murder, by Indians, of hun
dreds OF families and you have some
idea of what it cost to dispossess the
Indians of their nome and force them
to the reservations of the West
But for several years after the In
dams were supposed to De gone there

robbery. was talking with an old
gentleman short time ago who said
he heard the Indians guns when he
was a small boy, that killed the fam
lily of Wiley Jones in this county
(Washington).
One of the most remarkable and
bloodiest hand to hand duels ever
fought between civilized white man
and a savage was fought between
Cage King and Indian Joe probably
about 1916. Cage Kings son, John
King, now an old man, lives at South
port, and. furnishes the information
concerning the fight. between the In
dian and his father. He has heard MS
father relate the facts many times

about as follows: Cage King lived on
Pine Creek and had been to Apalachi-
cola trading. He was returning with
his supplies on his back when near
Crooked Island he was surprised and
fiji ed on from beyond by Indian joe
The bullet struck a piece Of calico
that King was carrying home to make
his wife a dress. 1t went through the
cloth and lodged against Kings back,
cutting ia holes in the cloth and
knocked King down to his knees. King
rose and looked back and saw Indian
Joe's boy with his rifle leveled on him,
taking very careful aim King turned
side ways to the Indian to make the
marks as narrow as possible The
boy fired and cut off one oF Kings sus-
pender strops and the top of a snuff
bottle, just grazing the skin slightly
Fhen King rose and ran with Indian
Joe and his boy in hot pursuit for
three miles when King turned a little
and ran into a little hammock or
brush thicket AS Indian Joe advanced
King presented his rifle to shoot Joe,
but was so weak from the shock of
the Indians bullet and the long race
that his gun dropped too low and he
shot the ball in the ground Just in
front of the advancing Indian. Then
indian Joe smilingly dubbed his rifle
to knock King dead, bus as he struck
at King, a vine or bush tangled the
Indians gun and King Knocked the
lick off with his arm and Somewhat
deadened his arm for a short time
Then King and Indian Joe cIinched for
a struggle of life. Though Indian Joe

Judging from the great number OF shell
beds, there must have been many
thousands of those savage creatures
here. q great many more than most
people are aware of. They must have
been numerous indeed. We find that
they were most numerous where oys-
ters and clans are most abundant. We
find their sign at Bay Head, Southport.
Lynn Haven, St. Andrews, Panama
City. MillviIle, Port ST. Joe and Apa-
lacaicola and almost any where be-
tween these points.
On Shell Point at the mouth Of West
Bay is to be seen one OF the grandeSt
she'll deposits in all the country. Sure
ly there are many thousand tons of
shells there with other signs of the
savage to be seen.
But one of the most interesting
things of the red man to be seen In
this country. is his battle-ground. He
always selected a dry sandy location
on which to lay his fallen braves to
rest. He never dug a grave, but laid
the dead bodies on top the ground and
covered with earth. when others died
they 2-e<a lid on top OF the first ones

threw the Indian hard against the
ground several times. Eacn time the
Indian would quickly rise and rush at
him again with all the vicicusness OF a
tiger. Then Indian Joe drew large
sharp knife from his leather belt ano
struck at King with 1t through Kings
hand and cut off two of his fingers
Then for some unknown reason the In
dian threw the knife away but contin-
ued to try to kill King. Then King
drew his knife and began TO cut at In
dian Joe's head, but his head was so
hard that he could not do much at that
Then King struck Joe across the abdo-
men just below the ribs, cutting him
nearly half into. Then Indian Joe's
boy ran up as if to take part in the
fight and Joe said to his boy, "Slop-
colippusca," and the boy ran and never
at the duel anymore. 1t is
not known what, "Slopc colippusca,"
Thus cut the old Indian fell
away from King TO the ground. King
off about forty yards and
looked back and saw the Indian push
ing his intestines back through the
wound and tie a large red handkerchief
around himself about the wound. HaV-
ing done so ne began scratching a hole
IN the sand. King then hurried to the
beach not far away and signaled to
some fishing boats lying in sight.
They took him on board and listened
TO his tale of tragedy.
Next morning the crew @1rh King went
ashore and to the scene OF the duel
of the late evening before. They
found Indian Joe dead and about half
buried in the sand. Lying near him

The cost of the hotel has been estl'
mated at $2,5OO,OO0 and probably Will
be constructed on the plans of the new
Adolphus Hotel recently erected IN
Dallas by the Busches.
The hotel will face City Hall Park
on the south and Twelfth street on the
east. and will be one of the finest ho-
tells west of New York, if the plans
of Mr.. Busch are carried out.
Edward A. Faust, vice president OF

er the fact that Busch had bought the
property.
There are lumber yards and a gar
age on the site of the proposed hotel.

Since the Albanians obtained their in
dependence they have shown an ex-
traordinary fondness for literature and

during the Hamidian epoch. Taine, II

verifying his celebrated doctrine that
the art of a people develops out of its
great emotions. Until now there has
been no organized theater in Albania

is not less dear to the lovers of the
