The many friends of DR.. l.. f. Hen
ley will be panied to learn that he
is in a dying condition, and will
probably have passed away ere thes,
lines are read. DR.. Henley has been
in i'll health for the past two or threc
years, and has been in a serious con
dition for over yead. He has been
slowly getting worse, until this
morning when he began to sink. He
was so low this afternoon that It was
reported that he was dead, but thi;
was incorrect. One of Lakeland's fin
est citizens and grandest old men is
Just on the border, and his friends
are bowed in grief since they fear
there is no hope for him to rally.

This afternoon the home of Or. l..
F. Henley was discovered to be on
fire by parties at the freight depot,
and the Department was at the house
Before the family were aware that
the roof was in flames. After ccnsd-
cradle difficulty in getting on the
Roof, the Department soon had the
fire eXtinguished with chemicals, a
hole being burnt in the roof about
4X4 feet square. The fire was all the
more regrettable on account Of the
grave condition of Dr. Henley, who
was unconscious at the time, but tn
fro was eXtinguished without any
disturbance of the furnishings of The
home, which was a matter of reliei
to all concerned.

EXPECTED CHARGES
AND WAS PRESENTED
With WATCH INSTEAD

When the City Commissioners met
in regular session last night Col. Ed
win Spencer asked if he might have
the floor, as he represented number
of clients who wished to prefe'
charges against the Mayor He spoke
for about fifteen minutes during
which time he explained that in the
course of lawyers life he had many
unpleasant things to do-he had in
many cases to prosecute his best
friend, but that the personal element
should not enter into the matter, as
an attorney had to do that for which
he was employed. He explained that
the matter of preferring charges
against the Mayor was an unpleasant
duty. but that he was paid for his
services and had to act. He contia-
ued along in this strain for some
ably exercised as to what was going
to happen, and wound up by present
Il ing him a handsome gold watch. the
gift of admiring friends. The reac-
tion and surprise was so great that
the Mayor declared he was too full
Cor utterance, but he expressed his
heartfelt thanks to the friends who
made this gift possible, declaring
that he felt his two years efforts hal
not been in vain after being SO hap
pily remembered at this time.
