GRANDPARENTS NAME
WAS SKOWHEGAN
Red Man Seeks Grave Of His Fore
Father, Near Wesserunsett Stream

A stranger whose garb and coloring
indicated that Indian blood was flow
ing in his veins arrived in Skowhe-
gan Saturday and in conversation
with local newspaper man bore out
some of the characteristics of his race
in seeming rather stolid and uncom-
municative. He stated however that
he was an Indian and had come here
from Oldtown TO stay.
The red man attended services Sun
day at the Methodist church, gave his
name as Lone Wolf and desired an
opportunity to speak This privilege
was accorded and he told something
of his lifes history claiming that he
was one of the Penobscot tribe though
raised by the wife of Buffalo Bill in
Wyoming. He had come to Skowhe-
gan to visit the grave of his grand
father near Wesserunsett Stream,
whom he claimed had borne the name
of Skowhegan. The grave it was gath
cred from his conversation had been
found, and he had read the characters,
telling of the death of this forefather
and of things connected with his life.
Lone Wolf further averred that he was
bought from the Pcnobscot Tribe
when baby for 10 pints of whiskey.
Il plugs of tobacco and 13 ponies. He
claimed at the church it is understood
that he was going abroad to engage
IN the European war these intentions
being considerably different from
those voiced the day before when in
conversation with the press repre-
sentative. The stranger certainly was
a unique character, with wide SOM
brero hat, brass trimmed waist coat,
red neck-kerchief and moccassins, and
the traditions which he related were
exceedingly interesting

their sufferings from the cold. went to
the Selectmen's office and gave him
self up. The tears ran down over
his cheeks as he recounted the Incl
dents of the night before and told of
their taking the wrong direction and
struggling along thinly clad over
road which had not been broken for
the winter. He had on a thin over
coat and outside shirt but no under
shirt that having been taken off
Monday afternoon to be washed. He
walked until he fell in the snow and
finally reached the home of William
Fahey on the hill near the trestle in
an exhausted condition. where he
spent the remainder OF the night.
Dawes, who left Wheeler in the sta
ton at Blackwell corner and pushed
on towards Madison, reached here in
the early morning hours and found
refuge at the home OF William WEIGH,
where he was located in the forenoon,
comfortably established beside the
fire, and taken into custody again.
Dawes had chilled his feet in the walk
the night before.

SALOON MEN HOPE TO WIN BY

MANY SHEEP

It has been believed that the vets
have carried Marion county in for
mer campaigns by wholesale corrup-
ton of the lower class of negroes.
While this has been always under
stood, tangible evidence has been
lacking until Monday, when a citizen
picked up a receipt dropped in front
of his residence and brought it to the
Star Office. The receipt was as fol-
lows:

AUTO PRICES
WILL co UP
PURCHASING A CAR NOW Is
YOUR BEST POLICY

The automobile trade papers are
generally agreed that the prices of
automobiles will be advanced next
year. There is great demand for
all of the raw material that goes into
the construction of an automobile.
Prices of most of the raw material
and of all of the finished material is
advancing steadily. Many of the
minor parts of the cars are made by
factories that specialize on these
parts. These factories are over
worked any many of them are engag-
ed in making ammunition and other
munitions of war for the warning ma
tions of Europe. 1t is very difficult
for some of the automobile manufac-
turers to get these parts made fast
enough.
The general improved business con-
ditions throughout the country have
created an almost unprecedented de-
mand for manufactured articles and
most of the factories, the mines and
the furnaces are overworked, many
of them having their product or out
put sold away ahead. The natural
result will be decided advance in
the price of automobiles as well as
many other products of the big fac
tories of the north and east.

SITE SELECTED
ERECTION OF UNION PAsSEN-
GER STATION NEXT BIG
BUILDING OPERATION

The Star is informed that the rail-
road companies have purchased or at
least secured an option on the land
needed for the erection of the new
union passenger station. The station,
we are told, will be on the site of the
old ice factory, just north of the
crossing.
The Star has preferred another
site for the station, but it hopes that
now the matter has been decided, that
the work will begin next May and be
carried to a finish. The location is
inconvenient and the surroundings
are unloveiy, but as the city grows
the first objection will lessen and the
second can be removed very soon by
improving the property in the vicin-
ity. BY this time next year, it is al
most certain that Ocala will have a
big and handsome union station.

.OCALA WILL
BE ORNAMENTED
FINE DECORATIONS ALL OVER
THE CITY WILL BE A FEAT
URE OF THE FAIR

Final arrangements of details for
street decorations during the fair
have been made by the committees in
charge.
In the general budget made up by
the fair directors no provision was
made for decorating the streets dur
ing our big fair which is to be held
the week after next, but thanks to
the assistant secretary and or two
real live ones among our professional
men there will be more of this feat
ure during the week than ever before.
AS it is not customary for the doc
tors, dentists, lawyers, etc., to adver-
tise in the generally accepted term OF
advertising and they have had no
opportunity to contribute to the fund
through the premium list and other
publicity stunts, they have nearly all
very generously responded to the call
for decorating funds.
And now that the street decora-
tions are assured it is hoped that
every business house in the city will
see to it that the scheme is carried
out to the fullest extent by individual
decorations. We understand that
Collier Brothers have arranged for
great quantities of flags and bunting
for the occasion which may be leased
for the week at very moderate cost,
so that those who do not have sup
ply of these on hand may get them.

DOING A BIG BUSINESS

The freight boat G. A. Carmichael
and the big truck with its trailer are
kept busy of late, hauling almost
capacity loads of freight from Jack
sonville to the Springs and thence to
the Ocala merchants. 1t is time the
people of Ocala appreciated and lib
orally patronized the boat line. It
means many dollars saved to them,
but without a liberal patronage the
line will not be kept in operation, for
so far it has proven anything but a
money maker to the Carmichaels,
who have put thousands of dollars of
their personal funds into the venture.

FIVE DOLLARS REWARD +!

The home economies committee of
the Ocala Woman's Club viii give
five dollars in gold to the person ex-
hibiting at the Marion County Fair
the best home-manufactured labor
saving device for use in the home.
Such articles as fireless cookers, ice
less refrigerators, egg testers, etc.,
have been put together by home in
genuityi and there are doubtless
others in the homes throughout the
county. Bring them in to the fair
and some one will get five dollar
gold piece.
The only condition is that there
shall be at least three competitors.
Our object is to do away with the old
saying:
"Man works from sun to sun
But woman's work is never DONE"

UP-T0-DATE OFFICES

The friends of Doctors H. C. Doz-
ier, E. G. Lindner and J. Harry Wal
ters must congratulate them on their
new and elegant Offices in the Lanier
Robertson block, north of the Ocala
National Bank.
DIR. Dozier has made the upper
story of this building his Office home
for several years, and few months
ago the other two medical gentlemen
decided to join him in that convenient
location. In order to carry out the
plan, the proprietor, with the aid of
that very efficient contractor, Mr.. w.
G. Blanchard, had the entire floor
overhauled and put in the best shape
possible for the purpose.
The friends of any or all of the
three doctors, on going upstairs will
find themselves in room and hand
somely furnished hall. Naturally
turning to the right, they find them
selves in the ante-room, which is
nothing less than an elegant parlor,
in which Miss Alice Sexton presides.
Miss Sexton, at home thruout Of
fee hours, always knows where the
doctors are, and is something Of a
doctor herself if anybody sick or in
jured comes in when all the others
are out. She is a most efficient young
lady for the position as well as a
charming one, and all that worries
the medical triumvirate is that they
can't count on keeping her forever, or
even very large part of it.
DIR. Dczier.s Office and operating
room are in front, where they always
have been, but have been refitted and
are in excellent shape. DR.. Lindner's
office is on the eastern side of the
allteroom, and DIR. Walters Office al
the east end of the hall, with ar
operating room in the corner-room OF
the building, between their offices.
Each of the three gentlemen has
exercised his own good taste in the
individual arrangement and fitting.

WHO MOBLEY is

A search of the registration books
shows that John J. M6bley is a negro
voter of Martel precinct.
There is undoubtedly a "Mobley"
at work among the negroes of every
precinct in the county where there
are enough negro votes to affect the
result.
There are probably several Mob
leys" at work in Ocala precinct.
How do the white voters of Marion
county view this?
How do they like the idea of hav-
ing public question decided by an
appeal to the baser appetites of the
lowest class of voters?
What do the respectable colored
people of the county-those who are
trying to have good homes, schools
and churches and prosperous busi-
ness establishments think of the men
who for gain try to debauch their
race?

VAN BoNEY's NEW CAR


Mr.. Van Boney returned from Tam
pa yesterday driving a handsome big
eight-cylinder Cadillac 7-passenger
car which he bought there. The car
has only been run a little while and
is in perfect condition and looks like
it had just come out of the sales
rooms.
Mr.. Boney has just had his Spas
senger Oakland worked over and
painted by Fred McAteer, of the
Ocala Wagon Works, and it looks and
runs like new. In addition he has a
big 6-passenger 1913 model Cadillac
on the street, and with the three big
cars expects to do nice hack and
country trip business this winter.
