Co. D MAKING GOOD
Showing At STATE
CAMP GROUNDS

The special train which left Lake
land Monday night for the State En-
campment at Black Point carried
fifteen officers and two hundred and
thirty-one men of the National Guard
Of Florida. The Orlando company
toarded the train at that city and
at Palatka the band was taken on.
They reached camp at 6 o'clock
Tuesday morning and spent the fore
noon pitching tents and making
camp. Co. ID of Lakeland put their
quarters in shape promptly and ex-
rertly and are hoping to receive hon
orable mention at camp inspection.
Capt. Steitz had provided mosquito
netting for the mess tents, a little
matter that was overlooked by every
other company
Co. d was scheduled to go on the
rifle range yesterday, and they are
hoping to make as good showing
there as they are doing in other
phases OF camp life.
The responsible position of first
sergeant-the highest of the nom
commissioned offices-is held by Mr..
Morgan Grower. who is proving
quite equal to his duties. He is sup
ported by a splendid line of other
sergeants and corporals. The COM
missioned officers are all men of
ability and experience.
AS for the company in general,
Capt. Steitz writes us, THE men in
general are in good shape and take
hold in the proper spirit. Our out
fit stacks up about as good as any
of them-a little new is alias this
is all new to almost every one OF
them. -

GYPSY BAND FOR EVERGLADES
TO ENTER LAND

Pensacola, Aug. 12-The Gypsies
who reached Pensacola last week
from Mobile have not made arrange
ments to tell shy young girls all
about the tall, dark man with a
sport shirt and incipient mustache
who is about to enter their lives.
One of the chiefs Of the camp called
at the city hall this morning to see
about license and when he was
told he would have to pay $25 a
week he did not make the payment.
The nomades claim that they are
not fortune tellers. They say they
are phrenologists. There is no pro-
vision for licenses for phrenologists
and If the Gypsies operate here they
will be required to pay the license
for fortune tellers.
The band, which has five wagons
is camped near Remich's store, in
West Pensacola. They claim they
are on the way to the Everglades
, where they will homestead land.

 large and good-natured crowd gathered st the baseball grounds, where Judge Charles E. Bunnell and District Attorney R. F. Roth made splendid and appropriate addresses, for which they were roundly applauded by all present.
 After the patriotic exercises were con cluAed there was fast hve-lnnlng game of baseball between the Flat City team and the team of the Yukon Gold Company The score stood to in favor of the Flat City team One of the pleasant surprises and big feature of the game was the ex- ceptionsly good playing on the Flat City team of Judge Chrales E. Bunnell, who was pressed into service on short notice as short stop, owing to the disability of the regular man in that position. The agility with which his honor arrayed himself for the contest on the diamond easily convinced many that he was by no means stranger to the great national game Not only did Judge Bunnell scoop up several hot daisy cutters and put the ball where 1t would count the most in the record of the game, but there were also one single and two base hit to his credit And merely to show that he was not feeling at all bad on that happy occasion. the judge scored 8 tally by

 About three weeks ago, while MT kellett was employed on Otter creek by Riley X Marston, his friends noticed the absent minded manner in which he performed his work, and after few days he was brought to this city in the hope of bettering his con dtion
 Mr. kellett has been a resident of the North since 1898, and was prominent in mining circles in the Fairbanks camp, where he was quite successful for a time. He was a member of the Dome-creek mining firm of Maddocks Monkman & Kellett, and the unsatisfactory manner in which the af- fairs of that partnership ended it is be- ieved, caused Mr. kellett many anxious moments, as he was always noted for his splendid integrity in all matters
