as side of the border and later at
detachment Of cavalry ordered to the
scene the day before, when they
chased back to the Mexican side a

constantly maneuvering through the
brush, continuing until they had
spread up and down a river bank a
distance Of two miles.

Punta Gorda pelple who do not
patronize The Herald either by
advertising in it or subscribing
for it, might seriously consider
the result of the town having no
newspaper at all. Thousands Of
people who might never have
heard of Punta Gorda, have been
informed of its existence and the
many splendid attractions by The
Herald and if any of them have
been induced by it to come here,
the only recompense The Herald
has received was three cents a
week for a subscription of $3.50 a
year, while the grocers got $1,000
a week and other business men
proportional returns. But The
Herald is not a public charity; it
is a business proposition, pure and
simple, in which all property own
ers and business men have an in

Saturday evening, and arrested
and took to Arcadia Locke Addi-

Keen, who are charged with CON-
plicity in burning the railroad
dock and the fish-packing houses
thereon, June 29th. Whatever
evidence there may be against
them has not been given out, but
they all protest their innocence
and intimate that the whole affair
is a frame-up designed for several
purposes, one of which is to en-
able an insurance company to a
void payment of policy Of
100000 issued on one of the
buildings destroyed. For this pur-
pose, they say that whatever evi-
dence there is has been manu-
factured and that they have no
fears of being unable to prove
their innocence. Their friends do
not believe them guilty of the
crime charged; on the contrary,
they feel sure that when the case
comes to trial, the innocence of the
three will be clearly established.
