Woman Says Husband
Was "One-Legged'; Man
Burned Had Two Limbs

An aftermath of the city jail fire
occurring on Mach 6. in which p men
lost their lives. was contained in a let
ter received by chief Of police Don
Johnson Friday afternoon. from Mrs
". r. COstley OF Denver. Colo In the
letter the woman asks that the CHIEF
assist her in locating her husband, who
was last heard Of in Fl PasO several
months ago. The description Of her
husband. and of w b. Costley. a negro
who was burned to death in the jail
holocaust. is identical except that she
says her husband had only one leg
while the dead man had two.
Costley was arrested on March >, on
a charge Of vagrancy and was serving
out a brief term at the time Of the
fire At the Providence hospital he
gave an address in Denver. and said
that he had a wife there He was re-
moved TO the county hospital about
two weeks after the fire. where he
died Chief Johnson has reasons to
believe that the COstley mentioned in
the letter from Denver. and the one
who was burned are the same man.
and that the description 'one-legged"
is an error

Woes of the Reporter

No town of the same size in
the known world has more
"know-nothings" in it than Pun
ia Gorda, and the chief of them
is The Herald's reporter.
The reason is that nearly every
one Of them imagines that The
Herald scribe knows every thing
and that, therefore, no one need
tell him anything. The result is
that, every week, items of local
interest are not mentioned in
these columns, and it is not the
fault Of the reporter.
For instance: he made diligent
inquiry last week if any Punta
Gorda teachers were going or had
gone to Tallahassee. Amongst
others inquired of, fathers of two
teachers and the railroad agent
were asked. No one knew. The
Pullman car sent here for the
teachers went away empty. The
reporter thereupon stated that,
so far as he could learn" no
teacher went from here TO the
state meeting in Tallahassee.
Now, this week, the local teach
ers are jumping on" him, charg-
ing him with having unjustly re-
fiected upon them, as Miss Helen
Ingram and Prof. Chas. K. Bick-
ley, of the Punta Gorda High
School faculty, did attend the Tai
lahassee meeting.
But "sich is life" for a news
gatherer in Punta Gorda. We
say, however, that we do not
blame any DeSoto county teacher
for not attending the Tallahassee
meeting, for the trip there is
long, inconvenient, exhausting
and expensive. The Florida cap
ital is less accessible to DeSoto
county people than is Savannah
or Atlanta.

The election which was held
here Saturday to decide the ques-
tion of compulsory school attend
ance, brought out a very small
vote, less than one-sixth the regis
tered strength. Only thirty-six
votes were cast, of which two
were against the proposition. But
few people remembered the fact
that an election was to be held,
and some who did remember it did
not care to walk half mile to the
school ol-house, where the polls were
located. Compulsory attendance,
however, carried the county, by
what majority we have not yet
learned. The result will be TO
take loafing children off the
streets and least pearls " to them.
