GRADY v. WHITE
IS CONVICTED Of
SELLING LIQUOR
MAN ONCE BEFORE FOUND
GUILTY AND SENTENCED is
AGAIN CONVICTED OF OPER-
ATING aBLIND TIGER" NEAR
CENTURY.

In the court of record yesterday
Grady w. White, white man who
came to this state from Georgia
about year ago, was convicted for
the second time of selling liquor
without license. He operated a
"blind tiger" at Century and last
February he was caught by the sheriff
and upon conviction was sentenced to
pay fine of 500 and serve so days
but the latter was suspended on his
good behavior.
About the same time he was arres-
ted by the federal authorities, but in
view of the county's punishment was
permitted to go on his own recogniz-
anee.
White paid his fine and returned to
Century and soon reports reached
the sheriff that he was again doing
business. Another raid was planned
and executed, and a quantity of beer
and whiskey found. White escaped,
but was captured in swamp.
Yesterday his counsel asked for a
continuance of the case, notwithstand-
ing that White had been in jail for
several months. This was denied and
the case went to trial, resulting in
White IS conviction. He will be sem
fenced later.

HUGE WATERS SPOUT.
WITNESSEDBYM MANY
in ESCAMBIA BAY
PARTIES FROM UP THE BAY
YESTERDAY TOLD OF THE
MOST UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE
IN VERY CALM WEATHER.

Captain Dilger, of the naphtha
launc pilgrim, which was here on a
regular trip yesterday, was telling
friends of the witnessing by himself
and others of a monster waterspout,
whic occurred in Escambia bay short
" after o'clock yesterday morning.
The occurrence was so unusual that
the story told by Capt digger would
have been given little credence, COM
ing from anyone with lesser reputa-
ton for the truth and veracity.
Capt. digger said that he was
working on the boatshed in his yard,
near Floridatown, when he noticed a
peculiarly shaped and very black
cloud, which appeared to have come
up in a little while. The weather
was hot, he was quoted as saying,
and there was little breeze stirring.
Suddenly his attention was attracted
by the spout which appeared to have
been about twenty feet at the base,
and as far as he was able to deter
mine, was about the same dimensions
at the apex. 1t travelled over from
one side of the bay to the other, and,
fearing that the huge volume of
water would swamp his boat, he
hurriedly piloted the Pilgrim out of
the possible path of the water spout
but it suffered no damage. He said
there was quite a disturbance on the
surface of the bay when the water
spout finally expended itself.
Capt. Dilger brings the Pilgrim to
Pensacola daily, and makes a round
trip from Floridatown.
