TRAGEDY At TRENTON
DENTIST OWENS WAS KILLED
AND MRS MCGUIRE FORCED
TO DEPART

The Gainesville Sun gives the fol-
lowing report of a tragedy Tuesday
night at Trenton:
1t is reported that an indignation
meeting was held in Trenton last
Saturday night, at which time a com
mittee was appointed to wait on DIR.
Owens and Mrs. Mcclure, telling
them to leave town.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Mcclure asked Capt. Bell, a
deputy sheriff at Trenton, to come
over and help her pack her things, as
she wanted to leave Owens, and that
he (Owens) had gone away. Captain
Bell, thinking that Owens had a
grudge again him, sent a man to
search the house AS this man ap-
preached the house he was joined by
another citizen and as they drew
! closer to the house, Owens fired a
shot at them and ran out to the barn
in the rear of the place.
In a few minutes the entire place
was surrounded by armed men and

/ to surrender. A shot from Owens
rifle made the marshal hunt cover and
then the fight between the doctor and
citizens of Trenton was on. Dynamite
was used in an effort to drive the man
from the barn, but it was not until
! fire was set to the building that
Owens left it, shooting as he ran. He
did not run far as the posse fairly
riddled his body with bullets.
A coroner's jury was empaneled
which rendered a verdict that Owens
came to his death at the hands of un-
| known parties.
1t is further alleged that DIR. Ow-
ems horse was found saddled with his
suit case packed with clothes and am
munition.
DIR. Owens was at the time of the
shooting practicing dentistry in Tren-
ton. He has been in court in this
cohnty several times, having just re-
Gently been discharged on a murder
/ charge.
| Sheriff Ramsey returned at an
early hour this morning, bringing
with him Mrs. Elizabeth Mcclure and
Andy Boyd. who were placed in Jail

Mr.. J. III. Brooks, while standing at
the stamp window in the postoffice at
IL o'clock this morning, suddenly ut
tered a groan and fell to the tiled
floor, striking on his left temple. Mr..
Brooks bled prOfusely and was un-
conscious, partially, perhaps from the
fall and partly from the effects of the
spell that he was seized with that

summoned who administered a hyper
dermic, and a cot was procured and
Mr.. Brooks taken to his home a short
distance west of the Colonial hotel.
Mr.. Brooks has been very feeble for
some time, but insisted on going to
the postoffice, as his energy was
greater than his strength.

LOGIC FROM LIGHT

i honestly believe it will hurt you
people living in the proposed new
Bloxham county to become separated
from the old counties, and here are
my reasons why:
The new county will neither have
the wealth nor population to give the
people living in this county the bene-
fits that should be theirs, without
taxing their people beyond endur-
ance.
The u. s. sensus report says Ma
rion county gained in 10 years 1919
Levy gained but 2O9o in the 10 years
while the state Of Florida gained AZ %
in the same time, and the same re-
port by precincts say that that por-
tion of Marion which would be part
of Bloxham has lost instead of gain
ed. The same report says that that
portion of Levy which would form
part of Bloxham gained in less por-
potion than the rest of Levy.
Please study the comparisons of the
population in the last 10 years of the
counties from which new counties
have been made, with what Bloxham
will receive from Levy and Marion.
Seminole was taken from Orange,
and the census report says Orange
had gained $50. Pineallis taken
from Hillsboro, and Hillsboro had
gained 1I7%. Palm Beach taken
from Dade and Dade had gained
1907, or in other words that part of
Bloxham from Marion no gain, while
Orange gave $50. No gain in that
part of Bloxham taken from Marion.
Hillsboro 1179o, gain nothing for
Bloxham from Marion, while Dade
1907 gain and that of Levy that will
go to Bloxham but a little better.
The largest incorporated town in
the proposed new county in 1910 had
but 371 people.
The proposed new county will have
less than 1000 people. Less than IA
TO the square mile.
Two of the chief occupations and
largest assets in the proposed new
county is the saw mill and the tur-
pentine interests, and in the near flu
ture that with a large part Of the
population will be gone. Thereby
lessening population and revenue
If Marion with her about 10000
population finds it very, very hard
to meet the needy demands of the
county government how would it ef-
feet the tax payers Of Levy and Blox-
ham counties with but half the tax
payers spread over an area the size
of Marion as it is today.
The inevitable would be either poor
service or double taxation.
1t is up to you
With these facts before you / most
earnestly beg you TO consider then
and find out if it will, or will not pay
you to vote for the new county.
| Yours truly,
L. S. Light.

1t Will Probably Reach Berlin
This Evening
ANOTHER ATTACK ON AMERICANS WILL CAUSE NEGOTIATIONS
TO BE BROKEN OFF
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, July 22.-The new
American note to Germany is on the
way to Berlin. 1t cleared from
Washington on the telegraph wires
during the night; today it is being
cabled to London, thence to Copen-
hagen and then will be telegraphed
to Berlin. 1t will reach its destina-
tion tonight or early tomorrow.
SAID TO BE DECIDEDLY STIFF
Concerning the future conduct of
German submarines, the note doesn't
necessarily call for an answer. On
the other hand, it demands a dis
avowal of the intention of sinking the
Lusitania and the request for rep
aration is renewed. 1t is likely these
and other points will bring an an
swer in two or three weeks.
1t is generally agreed among Off
cials that any loss of American lives
meantime would itself raise a ques-
tion as to what action will be taken
regardless of the formal reply from
Germany. 1t is the general under
standing that an immediate assem-
bling of Congress will follow another
Lusitania disaster.

FORMAL WORD SENT CARRANzA
 NOTE OFFICIAL
Secretary Lansing Notifies First Chieftain" That Signers of Appeal for Peace in Mexico Did So ill Official Capacities
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-General Carranza was formally notified by Sec retary Lansing that the signers of the appeal for peace in Mexico sent by the Pan American conference affixed their names to the document in their official capacities as representatives of their governments. The message was laconic. and did not go beyond this direct answer to the inquiry by Car ranza after he received the appeal. state department officials said they did not know what effect, if any. the am swer would have on Carranza's reply to the appeal.
 Delay in answering the Carranza in quiry it was learned, was caused by the fact that four of the six South, and Central American diplomats who with Secretary Lansing composed the conference were out of town. While there was no doubt here as 10 the of ficial character of the conference, each diplomat was advised of the question raised. and was heard from before a reply was sent.
 It is understood another meeting of the Pan-American conference will be called soon, but it is authoritatively stated that no date has as yet been set. In the appeal sent out three weeks ago it was suggested that ten days would be considered by the conferees as a reasonable time in which answers might be prepared by those who re- ceived it.
 The president sent a telegram to the President of Brazil commenting the serv ices rendered the United States by the Brazilian minister in Mexico City.

All Indications Tend to Con firm Report Great Britain Has Borrowed from Fifty to One Hundred Million Dollars Here
COMMISSIONERS TO
 ARRIVE HERE SOON
Believed Then Bankers of All Chief Cities of the Country Will Be Called on to Participate in a Greater Loan
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-All indi- cations tended today to confirm the report current that. Great Britain has borrowed from fifty to one hundred million dollars temporarily in this market to correct the eX- change rate on sterling until her commissioners reach New York, to consummate negotiations looking to the Notation of a much larger creolt loan.
 Supported by an unseen stimulant the rates rallied in a spectacular manner, sterling soaring ten cents CT more at the opening of the mar ket It fell back later but on the days transactions a substantial gain of three and a half cents was re- corded Sterling closed at 4.67A.
 There was no confirmation or de- nial of 8 reported loan by big men in New Yorks financial world. Most of them refused to discuss it and the few who did speak said there was nothing in the way of an an nouncement that could be made at this time.
 According to report, the collateral on which the preliminary loan was
 
 four lots, and aggregated approXi- mately the figures of the sum bor- rowed. Two of the shipments of collateral tOtaling about fifty-five million dollars was brought from Great Britain to Halifax aboard a warship, and thence shipped to New York with about forty million in gold within the past thirty days. Two other bundles of securities were said 10 have been brought aboard the liners Adriatic and St Paul which reached New York yesterday.
 This loan if made is regarded as only a makeshift to clarify the sur charged atmosphere of the foreign exchange markets. Conservative es- inmates of Great Britains needs in the form of credit placed the sum at more than a half billion, with twice that sum mentioned as the outside total
 To furnish this staggering sum, it is said, bankers of all the chief cities of the country will be called on to participate. Boston, Philadelphia. Chicago. Atlanta-in fact all the re- serve centers. and some cities where there are no reserve banks will be represented in the confer
