further damage by Mcintyre.
Overlooking the scene is a high
railroad embarkment. It was black
with witnesses of the battle. Many
pedestrians joined the police in
storming the brick house with bull
let's. They had their own guns. Auto
mobile parties drew up to the po-
lice lines and looked on.
The bodies Of those killed in the
early firing of the maniac lay where
they had dropped for some time. Po-
lice feared picking them up as they
we're in the direct firing line. With
bodies on the porch, in the back yard,
on the porch next door and in the
yard a few doors north, the scene re-
sembled that of a real battle.
MCIntyTe's home was a regular
fort as he had it fixed up. All the
windows were shattered, however,
by police bullets. Not until several
charges Of dynamite were used and
the doors battered down did officers
risk entering the house. There were
tracks of blood in nearly every room.
It was evident that Mcintyre was in
jured early and fired a great many
shots while in a bleeding condition.
He played a sniper's game, picking
off all those who came within reach
of his deadly rifle. Mrs. Mcintyre,
police think, loaded one rifle while
her husband emptied the other into
the police lines. The pair had plenty
of ammunition.

Penalty. General Gainesville
Notes

Gainesville, Sept. 27 Willie
Turner, the negro who murdered F.
&C.. Avery, the old turfman, on the
Alachua county fair grounds in this
city last November, and buried his
body in stall, will be hanged Fri
day, Oct. 20. Sheriff Ramsey re-
ceived the death warrant yesterday
afternoon from the governor fixing
the date as above This is the Sec
ond death warrant issued for Turner.
The first one fixed his date of eXecu-
tion on Aug. 25. and was revoked
just few days before the date set
because Turner's attorneys had TAX
en- the case to the supreme court on
writ of error. The court prompt
iy dismissed the writ, but it had the
effect of giving the doomed man a
brief reprieve. There is no legal
legal barrier in the way this time,
however, and Turner must pay the
penalty for his crime committed
eleven months ago, on Oct. 20, at
one minute after 12 o'clock.

Combles, town of two thousand,

value to the Germans because as

pany of New York, was the original
distributor of Rocky Ford canta-

California deal heavily OF late
years, however. it has been among
the heaviest losers in Colorado can
taloupes and Florida citrus fruits.
The firm speculated heavily in
Florida oranges, grapefruit and to-
matoes and unfortunately got into
the deal heavier than usual in years
when weather conditions caused the
stock to go bad In transit. The quail
ity of the Colorado cantaloupes has
been bad for several years until this
season and the Coggins Company
stuck to the deal out there in vain
effort to recover its heavy losses.
Twice during the past two years
l. the firm had to replenish its capital
from outside sources and it has been
a heavy borrower from the banks.

Company owed the bank something
