Inclined to Prosecute.

ing Away. To Learn
Where Pieces Are.

Covington, the ideally quiet and
peaceful Covington, with its windows
open of nights and the fastening OF
doors a matter of little consequence,
has at intervals been rudely awaken
ed to the fact that the thief is no
respecter of confidence and cruelty
Indifferent whether the dollar comes
from a, large bank account or is a
considerable part of the last payday
envelop. The amounts stolen on
these occasions have been trivial,
with the exception of the 5000 Sc
cured short while back from Mr..
Lawrence. At that time tracks be-
meath the window where the thief
gained entrance appeared to be either
those of woman or boy. but no
capture was made. Last week six or
seven houses were entered, but only
in three or four wss any loss re-
ported. At DR.. Warren's thirty dol
lars in cash disappeared. At Deputy
Walter Galatas' house two Stats IN
the window blinds were cut, the
blinds opened and entrance gained
through the window About 45 cents
and pistol scabbard we're stolen.
Across the street, next to DR.. War
rens Judge Burns residence was en-
tered and 81 was added to the night $
loot. At none of these places was
any jewelry or clothing stolen. but
Mr.. Galatas coat was found in Judge
Burns yard and mail which was IN
the coat pocket was scattered about.
Entrance was gained into Mr.. A. +.
Eimer's residence and, unlike the
other robbertes. his watch, a gold
bracelet, a pair of shoes and otner
things were taken. This led to the
belief that the same thieves who COM
mitted other robberies were not con-
nected with this.
While there was general outcry
against these burglaries. Mr.. Elmer
was the only one to take the matter
in hand in true detective style and
run down the criminals. While
passing the courthouse he saw his
shoes on Albert Soniat's feet. So
Mat was sitting on the steps. Elmer
went to Lacroix's store, where he
had bought the shoes and learned
that Soniat had not bought any shoes
there Marshal Schultz was then put
on the case and Soniat and his chum.
Walter Lassaigne, were arrested and
interviewed, on Tuesday. They de-
MED having been in Eimer's yard. at
first, but when cornered admitted

that they had been; but still denied
having entered the house or taking
anything. These boys were parolled
and on Wednesday they were again
arrested and locked up. They were
taken before Sheriff Brewster, in his
private Office, and in the presence of
Sheriff Brewster, Marshal Schultz,
D. w. Davis, A. F. Elmer and several
others, were put through grueling
examination, which finally resulted
in an admission by the boys that they
had entered the Elmer residence, TAX
ing a watch and a pair of shoes.
They denied taking anything else.
They said they gained entrance by
means of the keys which they had
gotten possession of by the use of a
them from nail on the wall, through
broken pane in the window.
Supt. Elmer e. Lyons home, which
has been shut up during the visit OF
he and Mrs. Lyon in the East, was
found to have been entered. Both
back doors were broken open. a
mantel clock was found in the yard !;
also a shaving mug and brush. On
the sills under an old vacant house
near Mr.. Deihl's place several collars
and several pairs of old socks and a
white shirt marked E. E. L. were
found The boys deny taking these.
Soniat admitted that he entered Jof-
froid's house and took one pistol,
one pair of opera glasses and q
search-light, and that both took a
shot gun from the house near Mr.,
D. w. Davis residence. One-half OF
the gold bracelet stolen from Mr.
Eimer's place was found under an
oak tree near the Jones brick yard.
Soniat is 19 years of age and Las
seigne is II. Both come from re-
spectacle families and their parents
are shocked at the revelation. Some
believe that all the robberies that
have occurred lately have been COM
mitted by boys about town and thai
there are other members of the gang
The fact that usually only money has
been taken and that even diamohds
have been left untouched shows thai
the work is not that of professional
thieves.
The other piece of bracelet was
subsequently recovered from the
boys, as was a silver watch Wkcf
Mr.. Elmer did not know had been
taken. The other watch was gold
one. A silver and gold thimble
which had also been taken from Mr.
Eimer's residence we're not discover
ed. The boys said they threw then
in the gutter on Columbia street. MOI

arrest of Soniat and Lassesgne and
they were taken in charge BY deputy

POPE IS DEAD.

Rome, Aug. 2O.-Pope Plus X
died at 1920 O'Clock this (Thurs-
day. morning. His mind tor
tured by grief over the war in
which all Europe suddenly was
plunged, the Pontiff's health
bad for years, broke down under
the strain of what had been pro-
nounced a slight illness.
1t was not until late that his
condition was admitted to be Sc
rious, and even then hopes
were entertained that His Holi-
ness would survive. HIS attend
ing physicians had considered
his condition by no means as il
was two years ago, when the
whole world waited for days in
fear of learning the end had
come.

Exchange were at the meeting and
number of the auction houses repre-
senting the Florida Fruit Exchange
in a number Of the principal cities in
the United States.
About twenty or thirty Of these
gentlemen stopped over in Ocala
yesterday and were rendered a dinner
at the Harrington Hall last night and
were serenaded by the Ocala Metro
poltan band and pleasant evening
followed.
These gentlemen so active in pro-
noting Florida's chief industry were
introduced to a number of our citi-
zens and the "get-together' sentiment
was everywhere in evidence.
Before leaving Ocala these gentle
men will be shown what we can do
in this county in the way of truck
growing, stock growing and general
farming.
They will be shown Silver Springs
and other show places of interest.
Ocala feels proud that in stopping
over in our city she was shown dis
tinciive and conspicuous honor and
she feels proud of the fact that she
was treated in so marked a manner

Whereas, an All Wise Father has
taken unto himself beloved and hon.
ored member of our organization; be
it
Resolved, That in her translation
from earth to heaven, we have suf-
fered great loss. Until feebleness
and infirmities of age prevented, she
was a tireless and earnest worker
in our organization, and her passing
deprives our southland of another of
those precious heritages of the old
south, for the women of Mrs. Dozier's
day represent a product than whom
the world has known no better and
no greater. In the history of the
world, the chapters these women
have furnished in southern life will
remain ever as indelibly clear and
bright as the evening star.
Resolved, That a copy of these res
olutions be sent her family with whom
we do most deeply sympathize, and
whom we commend to the care and
keeping of our Heavenly Father, and
that the said resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of our organization.
