Mr.. C. X. Sage, the popular local
manager of the Western Union Tele

box is included in the equipment OF
every business Office of any conse.
quence in the city and furnishes us
with the following facts concerning
the spstem and some of the difficul
ties encountered in its successful
maintenance.
The call box circuitssin Ocala con
meets 68 business offices with direct
and instantaneous means OF ringing

head wires were used in the install
lation, and the initial cost was over
$68O.00. 1t costs about $4,000 annual
ly to maintain the call box system.
Interruptions to circuits are unpre
ventable by the company. They may
occur from a variety of causes, such
as the simultaneous ringing of boxes
by two or more patrons, thus merging
the calls and making them unintelli
gible, the disturbance of the wires by
carpenters, roofers, or timers, or they
may result from tenants moving desks
or other furniture against the wires.

SERIOUS AFFAIR IN GREEK
RESTAURANT SUNDAY NIGHT

Early Sunday evening there was
quite a disturbance at what is known
as the Greek restaurant, across the
street south of the Marion Hardware
store, and as a result two men, Mr..
II. A. Evans, a salesman for a large
hardware company, and travelling out
Of Jacksonville, and Mr.. c.. Jeffreys,
proprietor OF the restaurant, are now
in the hospital, both seriously wound
ed.
II seems that Mr.. Evans entered the
restaurant for the purpose of obtain
ing Hamburger sandwiches, and upon
being told by the proprietor that he
had none. asked how long he would
have to wait for him to prepare them
There were several other customers
in the restaurant and as at that parti
cular time there was more than the
ordinary rush in serving suppers It
appeared that the proprietor did not
care to stop long enough to fix the in.
gradients for the sandwiches asked for
by Mr.. Evans, and probably gave a
reply that to Evans sounded gruff and
evidently taken as an insult, as Mr.
Evans promptly demanded to know
why he was spoken to in such man
ner. Words back and forth to each
other resulted in fight in which the
Greek secured large butcher knife
and inflicted numbr of deep gashes
across Mr.. Evans face and body. Mr.
Evans Immediately left the restaurant,
and those who had witnessed the dis
turbance thought the matter had end
ed, but in very few minutes Mr..
Evans, bleeding profusely from the
wounds on his face, returned to the
restaurant and seeing Jeffreys stand
ing behind the counter Immediately
opened fire upon him with a 3S caliber
s. & w. special revolver, firing five
times in rapid succession, four OF
which shots taking effect in different
parts Of the body of the Greek. Both
men were rushed to the hospital, and
reports from the attending physicians
are to the effect that neither of the
men are fatally wounded, and that In
the course OF little time both will
recover.
Mr.. Jeffreys has been conducting a
restaurant in this city for number
Of years and always, to those who
knew him and understood him he was
regarded as peaceful and accommodate
ing, and while at times he appeared a
little rough in his speech, it is said
that 1t was on account of his inabil
ity to express himself just as he
would intend to, and was usually over
looked.
Mr. Evans has been making this
city in his rounds for a number ct
years and has many friends in this
territory who exceedingly regret the
occurrence Of Sunday evening. Mrs.
