on these Developments:
Hughes must carry both Mime
sofa and California to win.

cut down as further returns come In.

and the other smaller doubtful states
OF New Hampshire and New Mexico,

available at 3.45:

Jonathan f. Shippers many

interested to know of an accident
which befell him at Avon Park
Sunday. 1t is said that he was
esconced in the branches of a tree
near the shores Of a lovely lake
and from his perch, was shoot
ing fish that were disporting in
the limpid waters, when he lost
his balance and fell out Of the tree.
He received no serious injury, but
the fall gave him such severe
shock that he was laid up for sew
eral days. This came, we fear,
from reading Editor Jones's elo-
quent justification of Sunday fish
ing as a wholesome and harmless
recreation. Friend Skipper should
Mt believe everything he reads in
the papers, even though it be
written by such a lovable and up
right man as Brother Jones.
