more than 10000 Superficial feet OF

superficial feet, is bound for Rosario.
while the schooner c. 9. Wehrum.
which is bound to Laguna, has q cargo
of 230.33s superficial feet.
The schooner named is the vessel
which, arriving here in a damaged
state with cargo of mahogany lum-
Der, discharged the cargo at Pensacola,
and 1t was shipped by rail to its desti-
nation, at Philadelphia. Thereafter the
schooner effected thorough repairs, con-
verted the c. c. Wehrum, which was

LIVE STOCK SHOW
SEEN BY LOCAL man

George A. Fell, well-known young
loca lcivil engineer, while In Chicago
recently, had the pleasure of visiting
the International Stock Exposition,
which is one of the worlds greatest
stock shows, and as Mr.. Fell has for
a long time been interested in live
stock, the pleasure was enjoyed very
much. In addition to the live stock
show, while he was in Chicago, he
also. visited the great slaughter and
packing houses of Armour, Swift, etc.
and upon his return, has been very
busy telling his friends of the many
new impressions which he received
during his absence from Pensacola.
At the live stock show, Mr.. Fell
said, there were probably $4,000 head
of registered cattle: perhaps 10000
head Of the worlds best horses: $4,000
hogs and probably 5000 head of sheep.
Because of the prevalence of the foot
and mouth disease in cattle raising
centers, this show, usually an annual
affair, had been held up for two years,
hence the increased attractions when
1t was at last given.
In addition to visiting in Chicago.
Mr.. Fell also stopped over at Evans
vile, Ind, where he was the guest of
Bauer Atsinger, who is we'll known in

RECORDER SEMMES
GIVES JUDGMENT IN.
BLIND TIGER CASES.

After three-day absence from the
city. City Recorder o. ]. Semmes
reached Pensacola at an early hour
yesterday morning and at o'clock
presided at the daily session of the
recorders court.
Among the cases docketed for dis
position were those against Henry
Pruno and Claude Hambrick, both OF
whom were charged with selling LIQUOR
without license. Pruno was fined $3.50
or so days, while Hambrick was fined
500 or so days.
These cases were heard several
days ago, Recorded Semmes taking
them under consideration. They were
advanced on the docket until his re-
turn, and were passed on as stated
Disposition of Other Gases.
In the case of Joe Usher, docketed
for application for new trial, the re-
corder denied such request and it is
announced that an appeal is in pros
pect. Usher, a negro employee of an
establishment on South Baylen street,
was fined 500 one day last week when
it was proven that he had sold LIQUOR
without first obtaining the required
license for such business.
The case made against Joe Johnson,
white, who was charged with engaging
in the retail liquor business without
first paying for and taking out the
required license, was heard at length
yesterday morning. The city attorney
prosecuted the case, while c. NJ. Jones
appeared is behalf Of the defendant.
The evidence failed to sustain the
charge that Johnson had sold liquor
illegally, and Recorder Semmes dis
charged him from custody. The de-
PENDANT, in being released from GUS
tody, was given a word of warning
| from the bench as to possible future
charges of this nature which might be
made against him, to all of which
Johnson made no response.
Another Arrest Made.
Another arrest, charged with engag-
| ing in the liquor business without
having obtained the required license
was made yesterday, this being Harry
| Captain. who is reported to have beer
fined once before for selling without
| license. This case will probably BIZ
| disposed of at this mornings session

Coyle street, was shot and painfully
injured last evening while working in

sudden explosion, and quite number
Of small shot entered her thigh. caus-
ing painful but not necessarily dam
gerous wounds, unless unexpected
complications set in.
1t appears that in the lot of trash
which she was collecting and burning
was an undischarged cartridge or
loaded breech-loading shell. That is
what the woman and neighbors be-
lieve caused the explosion and wound.
tor the explosion came from the fire
which had been burning for a short
time, and which was being replenished
by leaves and waste in the yard.
The city physician was informed of
the accident, and went Immediately to
the house, where he treated the wom-
ans wounds. Later IN the afternoon

COURT AWARDS
SAILOR HIS IMAGES

A final decree was entered by Judge
William B. Sheppard in the federal
court yesterday in the case of A.
Fernandez VS.. the British steamship
Strathearn and the Strathearn Steam
ship Company, ordering the company
to pay the libellant $91.02, for wages
which the judge held were due the

The former decision OF the court
merely decided the point of law In
volved in the matter. and made no
definite assignment. The whole con-
troversy grew out of the fact that
Fernandez was arrested by the city
police on the charge of vagrancy and
was unable to return to the vessel in
time to sail. The master of the ves-
sci thinking that he had deserted en-
tered him in the log as such. and as

Repair work on the high school has
been started and it is expected that
the building will be ready for use again
on January g. The insurance adjusters
completed their survey of the damage
Monday and work was started immed-
lately afterward.
The fact that the damage was con-
fined to one section of the building is
expected to render repair much easier
as there will be little to tear down
before actual rebuilding can start. The
main section of the school was practic
ally unchanged and the several rooms
that suffered most should not take
more than two weeks to completely
repair.
