in a southeasterly direction
through Knights addition and
through the original survey of
the town Of Charlotte Harbor,
Fla, and through Lastinger addi-
ton to said town of Charlotte
Harbor and then on through the
balance of the town of Charlotte
Harbor, Fla, to Peace river, from
where the bridge leaves Charlotte
Harbor side to cross to Punta
Gorda, Fla. 1t is specified in pc
tition for district and bridges and
roads that Tax Student has re-
ference to.
We have no idea that Punta
Gorda will stop us if we get on
this side of boundary line of bond
district. AS it is not against the
law to use the regular county
road funds into a bonded dis
trict, the county commissioner of
district of No. Three, has consent
ed to pay one-third of the cost of
this bridge. This will build to
where the two bond districts
meet In center of Peace river, as
Charlotte Harbor district will
have the draw bridge to build in
its district, as the Channel is
therein. | wonder if Tax Stud
ent has forgot about transferring
money from one district to anoth-
er?
We would like Tax Student to
call and get some light on this be-
fore it is too late. Wonder if he
would be against this if it crossed
at his place? Everybody can t
have it by his or her land, so, let
us get it as ,'--~ as possible and
not envy those that are by it.
If Mr.. Tax Student will vote
for this enterprise, l will trade
places with him, where he will be
in with the so-called schemers.-

Dastardly Crime Attempted

A dastardly attempt to assassi-
nate Rev. j. E. Trice, at the State
Baptist tOrphanage in Arcadia, was
made about Z p. m. Monday. Mr..
Trice, who is superintendent of
the orphanage, was eating supper
with his family, when the assas-
sin fired at him with a shotgun
through a window some twenty
feet distant. Two loads of BIB
shot were discharged, but only
the first took effect. Several
shot struck Mr.. Trice in the neck
and head, but did not infiict ser
ious wounds. Physicians were
forthwith summoned, and so
were the sheriff and his deputies.
The officers promptly made a
diligent search for the assassin
and for clues leading to his de-
lection, but, at last accounts, had
found no evidence to indicate the
identity of the criminal.
The attempted murder caused
great excitement in Arcadia and
the news Of it shocked Punta
Gorda as well as all other places
throughout the county. The Ar
cadia city council offers 81 100000
reward for the detection with evil
6ence to convict the would-be as
sassin.
1t is known that, in the region |
Of Arcadia, there has been some
i'll feeling against Mr.. Trice, but |
no one imagined that it was bit
ter enough to cause his being
All good citizens of the county
earnestly hope that the person
who attempted this dark and das-
tardly crime will be discovered
and punished to the full extent Of
the law.
