FOUND HUMAN BONES IN
SHARKS STOMACH

Miami, March 5.-Grewsome re-
mains OF some horrible sea tragedy
were found today when, in cutting
open a huge shark Off Soldier key,
the skull and several other bones
of a man were found. The bones
were all highly polished, indicating
that they had been in the sharks
stomach for months, possibly years.
The other bones found include
shoulder blade, one Of the thigh
bones. an upper arm bone and q fin-
ger bone. The size Of the bones
indicate to the authorities that the
victim Of the shark was q man. and
the shape Of the skull shows that he
was a white man. The bones were
all removed to the Combs undertak-
ing rooms. The huge man-eating
shark, known as leopard shark,
was captured yesterday of Soldier
key by Harry Sanford Of Richfeld,
Conn, along with nine other sim
liar monsters. They were all towed
to the Royal Palm dock where the
largest one. twelve feet long, was
cut open. 1t was in the stomach Of
this shark that the human bones
were found. The grewsome find has
given rise to much speculation as to
who the victim was and how he be-
came a prey to the sharks.

BOARD Of trade NOTES
(By the Secretary.)

Hdye. Colonels! Mighty glad to
see you!
Tonight Is the date for the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the Board
of Trade.
A full page advertisement. clipped
from the Tampa Tribune, Offering
special cash prices for groceries,
adorns the walls of the secretarys
office, with a footnote attached,
reading as follows: Lakeland stores
sell for less" The secretary is
ready to support the statement and
yet, sad to say, there are still some
people whose investments. real or
personal, or both, are tied up In
Lakeland while they are supporting
the business Of another good live
community. There may be some
few excuses for such ruinous pol
icy. but. il brought to the front, we
believe they will quickly disappear.
This shortness of ready money In
the town, which some complain Of,
is caused by sending it to Chicago
New York, Tampa, Jacksonville and
other places. instead of keeping it in
circulation at home.
A prominen man, one who knows
what he is talking about, said the
other evening that the reason Boca
Grande was full of we'll to do win
ter visitors this season was because
Of their splendid golf links. Lots
Of these people will prefer to winter
in Lakeland IL we will give them
something to play with. Let's GO
right after our golf links!
A statement has been made to the
effect that the extra tax Of three
mills, assessed this year by the city
commissioners. was for the benefit oi
the Board of Trade. This statemen,
is absolutely untrue and circulated
perhaps with the intention Of bring
ing criticism upon the Board oi
Trade. This organization has moi
received one dollar from the taxes
of the city and one who is as inter
ested in knowing the truth as IN
circulating false statements coult
easily satisfy himself as to thu
purpose and use of the extra thre'
mill tax imposed simply to provid'
for the retirement Of the bonds re
Gently voted and also the doatint
Indebtedness.
wlANTED-The name Of any In
telligent business man who does no
believe that II is worth one dolla
per month to have In the commun
ity q live Board Of Trade.

PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN
HANGS HIMSELF

Miami, March 5.-L. II. o.
Sjostrom, a prominent business man
of Hallandale. and head of the North
American Fruit Co.. was found by
his daughter hanging in the door of
his private Office yesterday morning
dead. Mr.. Sjostrom was one of the
most respected and prominent busi-
ness men in Dade county. Some
months ago his mother died and he
has not been able to overcome his
sorrow. Since her death he has
been depressed and troubled with
insomnia and 1t is thought in a mo-
ment of temporary insanity he took
his own life. He owned one Of the
most beautiful homes in Hallendale.
