BAD LUCK TO THE
INNOCENT BYSTANDER
Edward DisbrOw Killed Near CIer-
mont in a Dispute Over a
Piece of Land

Clermont, Fla, Aug. 17.-During a
dispute between G. M. Lipsie and
Frank Gilmore over the ownership OF
a piece of land five miles south of this
city Saturday, Edward Disbrow, a
cousin of Gilmore and an innocent on
locker in the dispute, was shot and
instantly killed by Lipsie.
Lipsie went to the land with re-
peating rife and ordered Gilmore off
The men had quarreled over the own
ership of the property and Lipsie is
said to have told witnesses that he
would drive Gilmore off the land OF
kill him. Gilmore refused to go, say
ing he had as good a right there as
Lipsie, or better.
Lipsie shot, the ball passing thru
Gilmore's wrist and hip. He then
turned and fired at Disbrow, who is
said to have been standing just across
the line on land belonging to his STEP
father and not on the property in dis
pute. Disbrow was shot through the
heart and died instantly.
Lipsie walked to Clermont where
he gave himself up to Deputy Sheriff
Morgan Mills, who took him to the
county Jail in Tavares. A coroner's
jury was empaneled and found him
guilty of murder, testimony being in
troduced to show that he had threat
ened to kill Gilmore and went armed
to the place. Disbrow's funeral was
held Sunday. He leaves a wife. Gil

blood poisoning should set in. All the
parties came to this section last fall

Brownsville, Texas, Aug. 17-About
100 Mexicans under cover of darkness
last night forded the Rio Grande near
Mercedes, about thirty miles from
this city, and attacked an outpost of
the Twelfth United States cavalry. In

CANNING CLUB WORK
ON THE EAST COAST

Mrs. j. R. Moorhead, ever on the
alert for anything that will improve
on the service she is rendering the
county canning clubs, will leave in a
few days for a trip down the east
coast, to give the girls in that section
the benefit of her experience in can
ming work. Tho she is now in the
midst of her vacation season, Mrs.
Moorhead is employing her time in
gaining further experience in her
chosen work. Her trip down the
coast is for work in canning and
otherwise preparing for the market
the immense pineapple crop now be-
ing harvested there.
Mrs. Moorhead has been for some
time experimenting with making jelly
o. the pineapple, and has discovered
a process for utilizing this excellent
fruit in many ways.
A number of canning clubs have
asked Mrs. Moorhead to give them the
benefit of her demonstrations and she
will likely give several demonstra-
tions at Fort Pierce, Cocoa and other
Indian River points during her stay.

BURNED TO DEATH
IN HIS HOME
Awful Fate of Professor Bell at
carlton

Gainesville Sun: VIM. A Bell, of
carlton, was burned to death in his
hcme Sunday morning about $50
o'clock. Mrs. Bell, his wife, is in
Chicago on visit to relatives and it
is supposed that Mr.. Bell was at
tempting to fix his breakfast on a
gasoline stove and it exploded, set
ting him on fire and the house also.
Only the trunk and few bones re
mained to tell the awful fate of Mr..
Bell.
Mr.. Bell was about forty-eight years
of age. He moved to carlton about
five years ago and was we'll respect
ed and much thought of citizen in
that community He was one of the
leading horticulturists of the state.
Parties coming over from that sec
ton Monday say that Mr.. Bell had
only a short time since taken out
twenty-thousand dollars life insur-
ance. This, together with an abso-
lutte lack of definite information as
to how the tragedy occurred, has led
to rumor of possible suicide.

Petrograd, August 17.-Novo Geor-

junction of the Vistula and the Narew
rivers, has been entirely invested by
