Saracina's Royal Italian band
Through the unbounded generosity
which Commodore C. G. Burgoyne has
ever displayed toward Daytona, the
Saracina band, which for several sea-
sons has been an important feature of
the winter period, is again to be here
for the season. So says Daytona's
benefactor, who within the past week
has arranged for the return of the
band, after all hope on the part of
the citizens for securing it this year
had been abandoned.
The Commodore informs the Daily
News that the band, which is now in
New York, will come to Daytona with
in a few days, probably arriving on
the 4th inst, to give concerts through
the winter months as heretofore, max

Commodore Burgoyne has every sea
son borne a large part of the bano
expense in connection with thu
amounts raised by subscriptions from
the business people, hotels and citi

sources. Owing to the financial strin
gency here the past summer, refle,
of the conditions north, it was deemed
impossible to raise even a fair pro

for the purpose, but this also proves
impossible and only through Commc

Trego's Personal
Attack Resented

Replying to an article in the Idaho

stating to the public few facts (not

Mr.. Vaughn has eight children living

facts leading up to his commitment on
December 26, 1914.
l do not think I would be doing the
square thing, if, as a husband and
father, I allowed Byrdie's article to

Trego insinuates that Mr.. Vaughn
was committed to the institution and
that his relatives CHATS old Bennett
and wife), might be relieved Of his
care, and not because he was insane,
which is deliberate falsehood, pure
and simple. What his actions were at
the asylum am not prepared to say, but
! can truthfully say that he developed
unmistakable symptoms of insanity
about two years ago while living at
Blackfoot, and grew steadily worse un-
til committed about holiday time, 1918.
Mrs. Vaughn became alarmed at his ac-
tions and decided at that time it would
be best for them to move to our place
where they might receive some assis-
tance. Accordingly, on January End,
they rented their place and I moved
them up here with me. His condition
did not improve, and on December Goth.

RENTROP WINS MATCH.

In the return wrestling match held at
the Buttcane hall last Monday night
between Rentrop and Workman, the
decision was reversed from that of a
week before, Rentrop being the winner
Of this bout, taking the last two falls
the first in about II minutes and the
second in 6 minutes.
Mr.. Rentr0p must have held back all
Of the tricks in the wrestling game in
the other bouts with Workman, as
after Workman took the first fall, Rem
trop made him look like novice at the
game, with his dazzling speed and the
quick manner in which he could get
good holds, had Workman guessing.
If Rentrop can work all the time in
his matches the way he was going in
the last two rounds he sure is a wonder
and there is no question that he is in
position to challenge Yokel for the
championship.
