missioner James II. Hastings, in South
Nanticoke hundred, six miles from Sea
ford. met a horrible death, Wednesday
afternoon about 5 o'clock, when he was
kicked or stamped by pair of young mules
he was driving.
Birmingham had been over TO a neigh
boring farmer to get a load of fodder and
on his return, when scarcely hundred
yards from his barn, the mules became
frightened and unmanageable. In at
tempting to check the infuriated animals,
he either lost his balance on top of the
fodder or WAS thrown off by the antics of
the mules. He fell between the two
mules and they either kicked him to death
or stamped the life out of him.
MIR. Birmingham was accompanied
by his young son, but he was not able to
help his father. He ran for his mother
and other children of the household, but
when they arrived their father was dead.
He had broken jawbone, fractured
skull above the eye, and was badly cut
and bruised.
The family dragged the body to the
roadside, away from the mules, and a
physician was hastily summoned, but
Birmingham was dead, apparently having
been killed almost instantly, Besides
a widow he leaves several children.

HORSE WAS HONEST
BUT W0ULDN'T t WORK
Sale by William Sullivan to Frank
Mel Leads to Alteration and
Municipal Court.

It was an ''honest" horse (whatever
that is-l that William Sullivan sold to
Frank Mel At least, that was what
Sullivan called it in Municipal Court
today when he appeared against Mel,
whom he had charged with assaulting
him following the reputation OF deal
by Mel in regard to said horse.
Niels experience with the animal the
same day he bought it convinced him
that there was something missing about
it. but the horses honesty was never
questioned by him. He did question
the good faith of Sullivan, however,
in representing to him that the horse
was good for plowing. Because Mel
took the namial right out to his farm
near Wilmington and tried him at plow.
The horse would not work at that, so
the buyer took the horse back to Sullivan
the same day. Sullivan refused to take
il back An alteration ensued and 1T IS
alleged that Mel came down on Sullivan S
head with such force that the latter
derby suddenly was transformed into
disc with hole in the middle, and his
head was hurt besides.
Sullivan swore out an information
against Mel The latter testified in his
own behalf today that Sullivan repre-
sented that the horse was just right
for the pillow. Sullivan denied it. He
testified that he told the man the horse
was an honest horse, but not good for
plowing. Further Sullivan testified that
/. he paid $50 for the animal and sold 1T to
Mel for 500. He caused a laugh when
he said he was afraid Mel had dagger,
because he thought all Italians carried
a dagger Judge Daniel @. Hastings dis
missed the charge against Mel.
Several witnesses testified that Sullivan
had been in several similar quarrels over
his horse transactions in this city.

its opposition. and belief that it could not pos

approve Of get-together meeting or a con-
vocation, something. of the democrats to
talk things over. Then when we suggested that

out two candidates for each state and federal
office to be filled. of them to be the recog-
nzed Cats slate, and the other a real demo-
erat and men who could be depended on to re-
deem Florida's good name, the Times-Union
said it could not be done and we had no BUSH
ness trying TO do it, anyhow
1t gives great pleasure therefore, to note
and commend the evidences of conversion in the
