DECIDED HE DIDN'T
HAVE JURISDICTION

The case of j. B. Barton, G. s.
Mobley and Fl. E. Tolar, the three
Live Oak bankers indicted for en-
bezzlement in Madison county, and
which resulted in a mistrial in the
same county few weeks ago, will not
be tried in this county.
When circuit court convened in.
Ocala this morning, Judge Bullock
decided that he had no jurisdiction, so
the case must go back to Madison
county for further instruction.
Judge Bullock's reason, we under
stand, is that the Indictment was
brought in Madison county, while the
alleged offense was committed in
Suwanee.
The special jury to try the case was
discharged and, there being no other
business, the court adjourned.

GUS HILLS MINsTRELs

Sale of tickets for Gus Hills min
strels began at the Court Pharmacy
this morning, and there was bunch
on hand to buy as soon as the char
was laid out. This minstrel show,
which will be at the Temple Friday
evening, is one of the best in the
country. The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot
says of it:
"That the popularity of real min
strel entertainments is still as great
as in the days of yore was proved
last night by the large audience that
witnessed the opening performance
of Gus Hills big minstrels at the Au.
ditorium theater.
"Mr. Hill has gathered together a
number of old-time minstrel favor
ties, and foremost among them is
George Wilson, at one time one of the
most popular and best-known of the
black-face comedians. 1t was George
Wilson who sang and made popular
the song "Waltz Me Again" He is
in class all by himself and time has
only improved Mr.. Wilson's fun-mak-
ing ability.
"Gus Hill has given to the theater-
goers a real old-time minstrel show
of the kind that was so popular a
number of years ago. The first part
is entitled "A Study in Colors.' There
are sixty members of the company,
and each one is capable of doing his
bit in just the manner that Mr.. Hill
desires.
'The funny men have a good line of
new jokes and some splendid coon
songs. The singers in the company
are among the most accomplished and
sweet-voiced that have graced the
minstrel stage and the selections rem
dered by them are the very latest"

PREPARING FOR BIG BATTLES
Although infantry operations in
the major war theaters are of min
or character, signs are not wanting
that big battles are in the process ot
making in Flanders, France and Italy.
At various points in these three war
zones intensive artillery duels are
going on day and night. They are par
ticularly severe in the region Of
Ypres and the Cambrai sector, where
the British are facing the Germans;
along the Aisne, in the Verdun Sec
tor, and along the Moselle river,
where the forces of the German
crown prince and Grand Duke Al.
brecht of Wurtemburg, are opposing
the French; and in the Italian high
lands from the region of Lake Garda
eastward to the Piave river, where
the Austro-German troops are align
ed against the Italians, French and
British.
Southeast of Ypres, in Flanders,
the Germans have made another at
tempt to enter British positions but
met with repulse and heavy losses
under the fire of the British infantry
and machine guns. Likewise an al.
tempted raid against the French po-
sitions on the historic hill 304 in the
Verdun sector was stopped with san
culinary losses to the Germans. These
two maneuyers constitute the only &C,
tivity by infantry forces at any
point except that small British pa
trolls at several places forced cross
ings of the Piave river against the
Teutonic. allies.
