Sudden Death of Mrs. Goldie

The many friends here of Mrs.
Annie Sutherland Goldie, wife OF
Peter C. Goldie, were greatly
shocked and deeply grieved when
told of her death, which occurred
Friday night in the Goldstein res
idence, where she and her husband
had taken rooms for the winter.
Friday afternoon, she attended a
ladies reception at the Pepper res
idence and was the life of the par
ty. being very vivacious and ex-
|hibiting no symptoms OF illness,
Her death resulted from heart
trouble, from which she had suf-
fered for several years past. She
was SO years old. Her body was
embalmed and, on Sunday morn
ing, her bereaved husband started
with it to their home in Detroit,
Mich, where it was buried yester-
day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goldie have been

spending their winters here for a
number of years, during which
time they have become endeared
to all who were SO fortunate as to
form their acquaintance. Mrs.
Goldie took an active part in So
cial affairs and in benevolent work
of all kinds, and the ladies who
were associated with her in these
matters became as devoted to her
as to a sister. An evidence of this
was seen in the wealth of lovely
flowers with which they covered
the casket containing her body
To mourn her loss, besides her
husband, she leaves three sons and
daughter. One son is engaged
in government work in San Fran

ger of a plant in Cleveland, Ohio
which is manufacturing munitions
for the government. The daugh'
ter lives in Minnesota. These have
the heartfelt sympathy of Mrs
Goldie's many Punta Gorda
friends.

AlRPLANE ESCAPED
ON IT'S WHEELS
(By Associated Press. }

London, July ga trench news
paper published by one Of the Brit
ish divisions in Palestine gives the
following account Of an unusual feat
by a British airplane in the fighting
zone:
"one Of our aviators was forced
by engine trouble to land miles in
side the Turkish lines. His engine
was mishring. but produced SUFFICIENT
power for taking and short hops,
but not for flights. Presumably the
valves Of two or three cylinders had
broke or stuck.
"But the pilot did not give ap
hope, and succeeded in taking the
whole way to the British lines over
level sand. On the way he crossed
a Turkish encampment. and his under
carriage brought away a clothes line
and a number Of Turkish shirts. The
pilot was attacked by several detach-
ments armed with rifles and machine
guns. but they invariably fed when
he charged on them with his gun.
Two or three German airplane dived
and fred bursts at him, but luckily
hit no vital part"
