DID NOT CARE TO MAKE THE
ACQUAINTANCE OF JAS. b.
PERKINS LATELY.

Although Jas. B. Perkins is a ik-
able man, and has friends by the hun
dreds in every county in the northern
district Of Florida, his acquaintance
gave him the "go-by" when he stepp-
ed from the train at Milton. few
days ago when he started out to sum-
mon men for jury duty in the several
criminal cases which are now docket
ed for disposition at the present term
of the United States court. Here is
how the Gazette told it:
While United States Marshal Per-
kins is reputed to be through gen.
tleman and an extremely likeable one
at that, nevertheless, there was a
strong inclination on the part of
most of our citizens to avoid meeting
him when he dropped into town this
morning and it became noised about
that he was summoning men to serve
on the federal grand jury. In fact it
is doubtful if a German army could
have given our streets more desert
ed appearance than they had for a
short time while Mr.. Perkins was
greeting his Milton friends. Fifteen
men from Milton were summoned to
appear in Pensacola tomorrow morn
ing as possible jurymen.

FIRE DESTROYS AN
ABANDONED STABLE
DEPARTMENTS HAD SOME HARD
WORK IN PREVENTING THE
SPREAD OF FLAMES TO AD-
JOINING BUILDINGS.

What gave promise Of being an ex-
ceedingly disastrous fire occurred
shortly after noon yesterday when a
frame building in the rear of the
store at 800 North Tarragona street,
caught fire and was wrapped in
flames in a few minutes.
The old building was said to have
been an abandoned stable, although
ownership was established. 1t. was
understood that it had not been used
for long time, and the origin of the
fire was unexplained.
The building itself was practically
destroyed and the adjoining ones were
considerably damaged, the Lewis
House just north having been on fire
several times.
The burned building was directly
behind the old Bazaar store, and was
surrounded by frame structures,
which were all menaced at one time,
there having been brisk breeze at
the time. While all were more or less
damaged, the fire was almost entirely
confined to the old stable building,
and when once under control, many
persons in the neighborhood breathed
freer. ~
