BROWNS BOTHERED
 ON FLORIDA TRIP
MANAGER HICKEY TAKES ARMS AGAINST THE SEAT OF
 THE TROUBLE.
Men Sore at the Situation Throw Their Grips in the Street and Re fuse to Take tc Hotels.

St Petersburg, Fla March IT, Manager Branch Rickey was peeved today. In fact, he was about as sore as any man could be Returning from Jacksonville this morning the boy manager of the Browns bumped into a carload of trouble that was sn- tirely unexpected.
 He heard from the veterans. Doe Lawler and Scout Charlie Barrett about the bush league trip the first team made to Fort Myers. He was told about the rotten accommodations the men got, about how they had to wait to get aboard the boat on the re- turn from Tampa to St Petersburg, and how they tossed their grips all over the streets of St. Petersburg when they landed. He also heard about George Baumsardnar missing the boat, and he heard that Baum gardner is undecided as to whether he will stick with the Browns or jump to the Federals.
 To top it all off, Hickey broke the news to Vernon Ashley that he is to be sent to Nashville Ashley said nothing to Rickey about going to the Southern Association team, but when the pitcher told his wife the young bride rushed up to the managers s room and had a long and exciting conversation Mrs Ashley doesn't like Nashville. II was a very trou- blesome day for Branch Hickey, to say the least.
 After Hickey had a chance to think matters over for few minutes, he made the following statement:
 One thing you can say for me and that is that there will not be any more such trips made in the south as the one to Fort Myers. l will not stand for my ball players being han dled by committee of southern gen tlemen who are in no way connected with my ball club They know noth- ing about such affairs Tn the future the expenses of all trips will be paid by the Browns. and some one will ac- company the players who under stands the work of handling such things. I am sorry about all this trou- ble. While I am really in no way to blame for the bad treatment the play CTS suffered on the Fort Myers trip, nevertheless I will be blamed by the players. They hold me responsible. am really ashamed to face the men, but I will explain to them that I was assured they would be given the best of accommodations, and tell them that

STATE MEDICAL
EXAMINERS MEET
In Palatka June 18th to EX-
anime Young Physicians.

The Board of Medical Examiners
of the regular schol will meet in Pa
latka on the 18th inst. and the
chances are good that large number
of applicants for doctors certificates
will be present. These include young
men who have recently been gradual
ed from medical colleges and others
who are thinking of settling in Flori-
da and who come here from other
states. DR.. E. W. Warren of this city,
member of the board, is its secre-
tary.
Another convention will follow in
two weeks. On July Fourth the Ru-
raj Free delivery carriers of the State
are to meet here in annual conven-
tion. The State officers are R. N.
Owens of Gainesville, president; S. L.
Jones of Lake City, vice-president; V.
N. Smith of Gainesville, secretary
treasurer. There are more than
six hundred carriers in the State and
it has been predicted by those who
appear to know that two thirds of
this number will be here, as that is
about the proportion attending pre-
vious meetings.
Palatka's enviable record for en-
tertaining conventions has been scat
tered abroad through the State and
now the various organized asocia-
tions of Florida always give Palatka
favorable consideration.

Allie M .Steen Seriously Ill.

Allie M. Steen, son of DR.. and Mrs.
A. M. Steen of this city is seriously
i'll at his fathers home and it is not
likely that he can survive long. On
Wednesday it was thought that he
could not possibly last through the
night, but he rallied some on Thurs
day and was some better throughout
the day. Last evening however he
was suffering considerably and was in
sinking condition.
Early in the week Mr.. Steen was
baptized by Father Leplante and re-
.ceived into the Catholic faith. He
has made intelligently all prepara-
tions for the inevitable.
Allie Steen has lived most of his
life in Palatka. He early took a fan
cy for business career and for a
number Of years was one of the rec
ognized high-grade and successful
life insurance underwriters of Florida.
Then he went into the life and fire
insurance brokerage business here on
his own behalf and made further
success. For more than year his
health has been failing, and early last
winter he went to Arizona for relief,
failing in which he came home, where
he has been gradually sinking despite
the best efforts of the medical pro-
fession in his behalf.

INSANE WOMAN
ATTACKS SHERIFF
Striking the Officer over the
Head with a Hoe.

William Thomas, the present exec
utor of the estate of the late Walter
Thomas, was in the city this week on
some business connected with the
transfer of part of the Thomas
property to the government for post
office site purposes. When he went
to his mothers home to see her she
attacked him with gun.
Mrs. Thomas was some time ago an
inmate of the State asylum for the
insane at Chattahoochee, but was dis
charged some three or four years ago.
She has been living alone in the big
Thomas house most of the time since,
and is seldom seen on the streets. 1t
has been known that the woman was
still suffering from mild mania, but
this is the first time that her insanity
has prompted her to commit an act
dangerous to life. The son, knowing
his mother was living alone and bar
ricaded in the home and going without
comforts because of her insane con-
dition, reported her case to the sheriff
after her attack and asked that lu-
macy commission be called to investi-
gate her condition of mind.
These papers. were issued and
Sheriff Kennerly, accompanied by
William Minton, S. j. Hilburn and P.
M. Hagan, went to the house on Tues
day morning to serve them. They
knocked at the doors but got no an
swer. They then found that all the
doors and windows of the house were
locked. At side window Sheriff
Kennerly found he could lower the
upper sash, and this he proceeded to
do. When the sash was down and
with his hands on it to lift himself
up, Mrs Thomas rushed at him with
a hoe, striking him over the head.
The sheriff's straw hat was broken
by the impact, but the blow narrowly
missed his head. Had it struck his
head the chances are it would have
killed him.
Sheriff Kennerly grabbed the wo-
man by the arms through the window,
one of which she got loose, and grab
bing a hair brush delt him several
blows across the hand which. still
clung to the window. In the mean
time the sheriff had called to the de-
puties to break in the door, this was
done and they had serious time in
holding the insane woman. She was
carried to a waiting automobile and
taken to Jail.
In jail Mrs. Thomas raved and
made a great noise, and it was some
time before she calmed down.
The following day before County
Judge Haskell, a lunacy commission
pronounced Mrs. Thomas insane, and
the Judge committed her to the asy-
lum. The authorities there have
been notified by the sheriff and will
come after her.

GEM CITY GUARDS
FULLY ORGANIZED
Are now Preparing for Mus
ter into State Service.

Capt. Dill of Miami, who was here
last week to examine Capt. John d.
Points in military tactics and such
branches of study as are required by
the service in it's commissioned Off
GERS has passed on the papers and
has paid the Palatka officer high
compliment.
Capt. Points has in turn examined
'Lieutenants Burt and Walton and
finds them equal to the same exami
nation with marks reaching close to
100.
This settles the commissioned Off
Ger problem. The above gentlemen
will be commissioned to their respec-
tive ranks.
During the past week Drs. John
son, Welch, Steen and Miller have
given most of the men the required
physical examination, with the result
that a few have been dropped from
the rolls as not coming up to the
standard of physical efficiency. But
there is yet sufficient on the roll to
make a complete company.
On Wednesday night the boys were
out for drill, as they also have been
on several previous nights, making
most favorable impression on the peo-
pie. Already the men seem most
proficient in marching manoeuvers.
As soon as convenient the company
will be mustered into the State S SER
vice, and will be ready for war in the
event of need. The company is COM
posed of the flower of Palatka young
men.
Palatka was always strnog sup
porter of the old Gem City GUARDS,
and its captains have been some of the
most prominent men in the past and
present of the place. That we will
be equally proud of the new company
goes without saying. Capt. Points is
veteran of the Spanish-American
war and one of the company's former
commanders.
The new company will drill tempo
rarily at least in the old armory, now
being used as a music school, but as
several places have been offered there
will be no difficulty in securing
place.
