THE PALMS THEATRE

In view of the fact that Lakeland
is the best town in Florida, it is
no more than right that she should
have the best moving pictures that
can be procured. The actors, etc.
that work for the Universal Film
Co. are the best and the salaries
paid them are enormous. Why?
Well. they are worth the money.
And, remember. this, our show,
costs you only sc and 16c. You
have at ysur services a full band
and a nine piece orchestra that can
make you shuttle your feet or bring
tears to your eyes just as they please

The capture of the murderer and out
law, John Ashley some days ago, not
far from this place, indicates the
determination of the present admins
tration of Indian affairs to see that
justice is done the Indian and wrongs
heaped on him be avenged.
On December 2S, 1911, Desoto Tt
ger, a full-blood Seminole Indian, was
murdered and his body thrown into a
canal about thirty-fve miles from Fl.
Lauderdale in this state
Tiger was a thrifty, respectable and
influential Indian, much beloved by
the Seminole people and we'll liked by
the white people generally.
1t appears that Tiger had eighty
four valuable otter hides which he had
accumulated and was about to mar
ket them. A white scoundrel named
John Ashley appears to have supplied
the Indians with liquor. At any rate,
they secured the liquor and were
drinking heavily.
The next thing was the natural one
Tigers dead body was fshed out of
the canal and John Ashley went to
Miami and sold Tigers eighty-four
hides for $3.50, after which he went
on drunk and disappeared
Jim Gopher, a Seminole friend of
Tigers swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Ashley for the murder, but
Tiger was "only an Indian and the
local officers were in no hurry. An
other reason why they were in no
hurry was because Ashley was "gun
man. and they didn't propose to both
er about doing their full duty as long
as there was serious danger in it.
Inasmuch as Tiger was not legally
ward of the government, the Indian
Office had no legal jurisdiction and
thus the matter dragged along.
But in the meantime, Ashley, who
had taken to the jungles, occasionally
appeared and held somebody up, Mex
lean style, and relieved them of their
iilOHNys Hio dl OusCQ Tic WilllC pCO-
pie somewhat. but the local officials
were unable to get Ashley.
In this shape the attention of Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Cato Sells
was called to the murder. Red tape
