FATE OF A RAPE FIEND
Body of John Davis Found i'm the
WithlacoOchee with his Neck
Broken

Brooksville, May 3.-The body of
John Davis, negro, who about two
weeks ago made an attempted as
sault upon a white woman in this
city, was found in the Withlacoochee
river, about ten miles from this city
yesterday, the coroner's examination
showing that he had a broken neck.
The negro, in broad daylight, APP
preached a white woman, who, at
the time had rooms with her hus-
band in the Varnada hotel annex.
She ran him off with butcher knife
and notified her husband, the hus-
band going to the sheriff, who arrest
ed the negro He was locked up in
the Jail at first, but Sheriff Law re-
moved him to Inverness.
When the grad jury met here
Monday of last week it considered
finding an indictment against the ne
gro, but did not do so.
There being no true bill returned
against the negro, Sheriff Law noti-
fed the Citrus county sheriff and
the negro was turned loose in Inver-
ness Wednesday afternoon. Since
that time he has not been heard
from until yesterday when his body
was found in the Withlacoochee
river
The coroner's jury verdict was
that he came to his death at the
hands OF unknown parties.

OPINION OF A FLORIDA MAN
ON MEXICAN AFFAIRS

The Orlando Sentinel gives the
following interesting report of the
experience and opinion of a gentle
man who has just returned from
Mexico TO Orlando:
That Huerta is doomed and the
en- out affairs in Mexico was the gist
of statement made last night to
reporter for the Sentinel by Mr..
John W. Mcdonald, who has just
reached Orlando from Tampico. The
McDonalds lived in Orlando form
erly, going from here to Mexico,
where they have resided for the past
thirteen years. Mr.. Mcdonald is en-
gagged in the citrus fruit industry in
Mexico, his grove being five miles
out from Tampico.
The business is much more profit
able there than it is in Florida, he
said. There are many factors that
operate to make it so. The labor is
cheaper, it is not necessary to use
any fertilizer, irrigation is unneces-
sary and prices are higher. Oranges
were selling at sixty dollars a thou
sand a short time before he left
Tampico.
American Flag Held in Contempt
Speaking of the unsettled political
conditions in that country, Mr.. Nc
Donald said: 1.-The American flag
was absolutely no good in Tampico
when i left We came out under
the German flag. The American flag
was not respected
Il expect my place to be raided
and everything of value stolen and
| the buildings burned said Mr.. Nc
Donald, rather ruefully Il left the
place in charge of poems, but there
will be no protection for it, l fear
Mr.. Mcdonald said he had faitf
that President Wilson would brins
order in Mexico yet; he has faith il
/ the wisdom Of the president. Huerta
he says, is discredited by nearl,
everyone, though all agree that ht
has the courage Of a bull dog.

For the first time in many years,
the Ocala House is entirely closed to
guests, and it's familiar front, which
has looked out on the square for
over a quarter OF century, is so

ports of the veranda show that they
are somewhat dilapidated, and

long time, as mems lives go. Much
history has been made since they
were put in, and many of the lead
ing men and women of Florida, and
some other states, have looked out
at the square between them. The
front of the old hotel had become
very shabby in appearance, but in a
few weeks, when all the improve
ments have been made, it will be
again an ornament to the city and
home to the travelling public.

prompt detection of any offender. 1t
would be nothing snort Of a scandal for
any of these returns to be given out.
