By the purchase of such a large

time
In the earlier stages of Florida s
development the purchase of sever
al thousand head OF cattle was not
an unusual item. Years ago great
herds roamed what was then vast

Mr.. Upton says that Haldenby
retired the night before in good
health and apparently in good spirits
During the night. Mr. Tipton's room
mate, Mr.. J. II. Anderson, awoke
him, and said something was the
matter with Haldenby. Mr.. Upton
went into Haldenby's room, which
was next to his, and asked him what
was the matter. He said he was all
right, and seemed to compose him
self to sleep again. Mr. Upton says
he thought Haldenby had a night
mare, and only needed a temporary
awakening. So far as he could see,
there was nothing what ever unusual
about the man, the bed or the room
at that time. This was about 2 a m
Next morning, w. H. Skyles, an
other inmate of the house, passing
the door Of Haldenby's room, looked
in and saw that Haldenby was lying
on the floor by the bed, and that his
clothes and the bed clothes were
bloody. He gave the alarm, and it
was found that the man had been
stabbed to the heart He had been
dead for hours.
His body was lifted on the bed
and the officers notified. Judge w.
E. Smith impaneled the following as
coroner's jury: C. A Fort, R. X
Robinson, J. c. Caldwell, C. A. Din
kins, T. L. Dekle and H. L. Walters
After viewing the remains and hear
ing all the witnesses, they adjourn
ed till Friday morning, at which
time they hope to have more infor-
nation to go on.
Haldenby was killed by single
blow, a stabwound right thru his
heart. 1t took considerable force to
make such wound; more than the
average man is able to exert against
himself
In the bed on which he had lain
was found knife-blade 1t may
have been the implement with which
the wound was made, but the proba-
bilities are against it. The blade
had no handle and there was no
blood on it. If it was used in max
ing the wound, it could not have
been pulled out without the handle
or pair Of nippers, and while the
by the mans clothing, it isn't very
likely.
Mr.. Tipton's house is on North
Magnolia near Henry street He
keeps roomers, and in the house at
the time were beside himself and
Haldenby. w. H. Skyles, J. H. An
derson and T. l.. Nicely. AS all these
come and go at all times, the front
door of the house has not been lock-
ed. 1t was easy for any man to slip
in and out without being detected.
W. A Haldenby was a middle-aged
man, and came here about a year
ago. He was from Toronto, Canada.
He brought a little money with him.
but soon spent it all. He was very
free with his money when he had
any, and was somewhat given to
boasting of his means and expendi-
lures. and this possibly caused the
poor fellows death. He is not known
to have had any enemies. Of late he
had been so hard up that he had
been making living by hardest sort
Of work. He drank a great deal, but
was quiet and civil and made no
trouble.
1t is possible that Haldenby killed
himself with the knife blade found
but if he did SO he must have put the
haft against some firm object and
thrown his weight on it, and it is I'M
conceivable that he could have pulled
it out again, The officers believe it
IS case OF murder. and are at work
trying to locate the criminal
