ORDERS . TROOPS
TO WASHINGTON
Secretary Baker Has Been
Asked Tor Assistance In
Quelling Riots.

Washington, July 24-Although
there was sporadic firing of fire arms
in some of the negro districts until
early this morning, the major casual
ties in recent clashes between whites
and negroes consisted of only one
white man killed and another prCba-
bly, fatally wounded. Scores were
injured in varying degree as result
Of blows from fists, clubs and stones
and the welding of knives, but in
none of these cases were the wounds
expected TO be fatal.
The white man killed was Isaac
B. Halbfnger, and the seriously
wounded man was BENZ. Belmont,
both members OF the home defense
guard and who were shot down in the
street by negro while doing duty N
one of the black districts.
Despite the fact that the capital
was an armed camp, during the
fourth night of the race warfare the
situation was more composed than
the three previous nights when sew.
eral were killed and half score dan.
gerously wounded. The attacks of
negroes on whites yesterday was not
less vigorous, but an all night rain
and the presence of many heavily
armed soldiers, marines and sailors
doing duty with the 100 police and
home defense guards, acted as a de-
terrent on any mob violence.

DR.. BUNYAN STEPHENS SAVES
LIFE OF DR.. HUBBARD

DR.. W. H. Hubbard, pastor of the
First Baptist church, came very near
not returning from the journey 10

work last week-in fact, had it not
been for the assistance Of DR.. Bunyan

church, but more recently Of ocala,
DR.. Hubbard would have met wa

The experience did not take place
at DeLand, but at DaytOna beach, 70
which popular resort DR.. Hubbard
and others journeyed from DeLand
one afternoon when there was moth
ing. on the program TO keep then
from a dip in Old Ocean.
Dr. Hubbard was endeavoring to
reach two persons who had gone be-
yond their depth and were barely
able to hang onto the barnacles on
the ocean pier piling. The current
around and under the pier is very
strong and treacherOus, and on this
particular afternoon the tide was
just right for the uDdertow to be at
it's worst Result-Dr. Hubbard
found himself powerless to Withstand
the swiftly flowing water, and not
until he, had gone down and came up
for the second time did It become
apparent to the OnlOOkers that he too
was in serious danger Then Dr.
Stephens came to his rescue, and Ia

MRS. MUNRoE PASSES AWAY At
ST. AUGUSTINE

When the news reached Ocala last
Friday morning Of the death Of Mrs.
T. T. Munroe it did not come as q
surprise as for several days before
her condition had been regarded as
very critical and no hopes of her re-
covery were entertained. About four
years ago Mrs Munroe was badly
hurt in a railroad accident, having
been crippled at that time and siuce
then she has been more or less at
invalid. Last fall she was Ill with
influenza and she had never been
able to regain her strength. Six or
eight weeks before her death accom-
panied by Mr.. Munroe, she wenr to
st. Augustine, hoping to be benefit
ed by a summer there. Mrs. MunrOe
was very fond OF ST. Augustine for
it was there that she met and mar
ried Mr. Munroe over thirty years
ago, and she and Mr. Munroe mad
spent quite number of summers
there.
Mrs Munroe was sixty-four years
of age and before her marriage was
Miss Mary Walkley. She was born
at Flint, Mich, bat the greater part
of her girlhood and early young wo-
manhood was spent in Detroit

roe lived in Ocala and her friends
here Of such long standing are very
sincerely grieved over her death.
Mrs. Munroe had no children tut
she haised her nephew, Mr. Allan p,
Walkley, as her own son, having ta-
ken him at the death of his mother
when he was only two weeks old,
Her husband and nephew and her
three little grandnieces, the daugh-
ters Of Mr.. Walkley, are her only
close relatives surviving her.
The body of Mrs. Munroe, accom-
panied by Mr. Munroe and Mr.. Walk
ley, who were with her when she
died, was sent to Syracuse, N. y.
where the funeral was held. The
body was laid to rest in the Munroe
family burial grounds in that city.

sorrow has the deep sympathy of the
entire city.

Judge Thomas l.. Chatfeld of Brook

COUNTY AGENTS NOTES
BY H. o. Sauer

How is your potato crop--both as
to quality and yield? If you want
them inspected for seed purposes,
drop us a card, as potato specialist
from the Agricultural College will be
here the latter part of this month to
inspect free of charge. The idea is
to get list of recommended pure
seed. Last year such a list was made
up and the demand for this seed was
far. greater than the supply. You
can demand good price for such.
Don't think they have to be perfect
to pass inspection as most potato dis
eases can be gotten rid Of by treating
the seed with corrosive sublimate If
you think you have good potatoes and
some to sell, have them inspected.
The premium list of the Slope Fair
at Mandan is out. It's good to say
the least. Some have remarked that
the Mandan Fair in former years was
principally a wild west show. Well,
we will admit that there is truth in
this, but if you attend this year you
will be surprised to note the change.
It's going to be full of agricultural
exhibits and the livestock exhibit es-
pecially will be second only to the
Fargo Fair, and close one at that.
