MURDER MYSTERY
In FLORIDA COUNTY
Assassin Takes Life d
Columbia Farmer
KILLED AS HE SLEPT
Officers Trying to Run Down Some
Clew As to Who Killed Oscar
Kecne-Was Slain, 1t Is Thought,
With His Own Gun While Hunting.

Officers are closely following every
possible clew to the identity of the
murderers Of Oscar Keene. "A Colum-
bia county farmer, whose body was
discovered near his farm in the Itch-
tuchnee Springs section. A number
of shots had been fred into the left
side of the neck, passing through
into the ground, giving evidence that
be was attacked probably while
asleep.
The coroner's jury returned a YER
dict that the deceased had come to
his death at the hands Of some un-
known parties.
The murder was committed in the
afternoon, the body being found
about three and half miles from the
spring the next morning after an all
night search by friends.
Mr.. Keene accompanied his wife
and children and two other ladies to
the spring, where they were to en-
joy a bath. He left them there, 60
ing to hunt hogs. When Mrs. Keene
returned to her home after the bath
and her husband failed to appear by
nightfall she became alarmed, having
heard shooting while the party was at
the springs. She notified ncighbOrs
and a search was instituted.
Beside the body was found Mr..
Keene's shotgun and several empty
shells. Wounds in the neck indicate
that it was not suicide, as physicians
declare he could not have held the
weapon in such a position. 1t is be-
lieved an enemy crept upon him either
while he slept. as he may have be-
come tired and laid down to rest, or
someone wreSted his gun from him
and used it as Il murder weapon.

THE OLD HURDY GURDY.
Crude Musical Instrument That Led Up
to the Hand Organ.

The early type of hurdy gurdy orig
mated in Germany during the ninth
century and under the name of haureh
leyer peasants lyre) attained great
popularity throughout Europe, falling
into a decline only at the beginning OF
the last century. Even today a slight
ly modernized type of this instrument
may be seen upon the streets of the
smaller towns of Savoy,
The instrument consisted of a violin.
like frame and sounding board, provid-
ed with from three to six strings. The
music was produced by small crank
actuated wooden Wheel whose resined
edge bore against the strings. The
two outer strings were keyed in uni
son and when the wheel was revolved
gave forth a bass note which served as
q musical background. The remaining
,srings were attached to keys, by which
.heir tension and their tone might be
varied. This adjustment was the only
control possessed by the player.
Needless to say, the hurdy gurdy was
suited only to the most elementary OF
selections. While originally much used
at fetes and celebrations, it later was
used only by itinerant street musi-
clans, position now occupied by
its sucCessOr-the hand organ.-Pitts-
