JnO. WeindfOCher Found Dead

John Weindlocher, aged about
%, a German homesteader, whose
home is Cleveland, O., was found
dead in his house, about two miles
from the Willow Pens, Monday
evening by Joseph G. Falcon and
wife.
The last time Weindlocher was
seen alive was on Sunday after
noon when he went over to Fal-
cons to get Mr.. Falcon to bring
him to Punta Gorda, where he
was to take the train for his
home, SO Weindlocher went to
the residence of George Yobst and
family, Falcon nearest neigh
bors, and left q note which Mr..
Yobst delivered to Falcon.
The note said that Weindlocher
desired to go to town Wednesday.
Mr.. Falcon had to come to town
Tuesday, 50 he and his wife drove
over to Wcindlocher's in their
Ford, Monday evening to see if
Tuesday would not answer
Weindlocher's purpose as well as
Wednesday.
Arriving at the Weindlocher
homestead Falcon hallowed and
called, all to no purpose Know
ing that the man should be at
home he concluded to investigate.
He went to the house and still
could not arouse the inmate.
Going to a window he looked in
and finally made out the outlines
cf something lying on Che floor
which he decided was Weindloch-
err.
Falcon drove to George Yobst s
got him and left Mrs. Falcon
there and drove on to Punta Cor
ola and notified Marshal j. H.
Lipscomb and drove back home.
Tuesday morning coroner's
inquest was held at the farm over
the remains. Samuel Nail was
foreman Of the coroner's jury.
Judge George w. iWhitehurst was
coroner. The remainder of the
jury was as follows: Sam Huff

alton. The coroner's verdict was
1.-THE deceased came to his death
from natural causes. i"
Weindlocher h ad evidently

had a bucket of paint, brush, etc.,
on the roof. He had one glove on
and the other was lying near
where he was found. He is sup

tired and to have gone in to rest

he fell face-downward on the floor
when alta acked with vertigo. One
hand was at his throat and the
other at his stomach, when found.
A search was made of the house
but no money was found. A let
ter from his wife was discovered
which was read and interpreted,
as it was in German, by George
Yobst. The letter said that she
had sent him $50. but no trace of
the money was discovered. The
screen doors were hooked on the
inside and corned beef and oat-
meal were found on the stove.
A telegram was sent to his wife
and she wired to ship the remains.
at once and they were sent yester-
day afternoon. They were
embalmed by McClelland.
Weindlocher came here about
SIX years ago and settled on his
farm. He built comfortable
house and made a good many
improvements on his place and
finally proved up. He lived
-lonc, his family remaining in
Cleveland, O., where they have a
store. He spent part of each year
Cleveland, with his family as he
was under the three-year-law and
could have five months off each
year. His nearest neighbor is
Michael Huffman, a Polish home
steader. His farm is also near Of

TEACHERS Mustn't DANCE
Nor Play Cards, Rules of the
School Board


The following will prove very
interesting not only to the teach
ers of DeSoto County and their
immediate friends, but to the pub
lie in general and school patrons
in particular. 1t appeared as a
special communication from Area
dia to the Tampa Tribune of last
Thursday and is as follows:
Shall the school teachers of De-
Soto county be allowed to dance
and play cardss This is ques-
tion that has been up for discus
sion for some time past and it was
brought up again at the melting
of the county board of public in
struction for April.
1t is a well known fact that, for
many years, the trustees of the
local sch Vi have included in the
contracts entered into with teach
ers of Arcadia schools a clause
restricting them in matters of
these forms Of social amusements.
The trustees take the position that
teachers should teach by precept
and by exemple as well. They
also require that those who teach
in the public schools here must be
members in good standing of some
branch of the evangelical church.
What is the attitude of the
county board9 Will they sustain
the local board In these matters
In some way, the question came
up for discussion by the county
board, all new men, except the
chairman, III. A. Ware.
Attention was called to a reso-
luton adopted by the school
board of this county years ago,
prior to the election OF Professor
Shaver as county superintendent.
When he came into Office he found
this on the books. 1t read as fol
lows:
Teachers are forbidden to
dance, to attend dances or play
cards while under contract. They
shall not attend more than one
social function a week nor be out
on automobile rides later than 10
0 CLOCK p. m. =
The new members of the board
expressed their hearty approval
of the rule and, while no action
was taken farther than to resur-
rect the old rule concerning
questionable amusements, rub it
up little, and examine it, it is
that the. substance OF
this claw" for teachers will be in
cluded in every contract entered
into the coming term and in the
future.
A prominent educator said, i'll
speaking of this matter, that a
large majority of the parents OF
this county much prefer teachers
who avoid worldly amuse-
against which serious
question has been raised, and the
requirement is but a reasonable
Dne.
The report is that these, restrict
ions will be adhered to closer in

cesses practiced by teachers in
