expert, whose mysterious warnings
Of an impending Wall Street disaster

a lunacy commission and later COM
mitted to an asylum yesterday
afternoon.
Among the claims Fischer made to
the examiners was that he was one

Robert a. Pope. Of New York,
Fischers brother-in-law, who is with
him on his Canadian trip. says Fisch-
er told him three weeks ago that he
had a "premonition" that Wall Street
would be blown up, but that he paid
no attention to it,
Fischer was arrested at the request
OF Pope. The lunscy commission ad
judged him OF unsound mind and
dangerous to be at large. His com
initial to the asylum took place few
hours later.
A considerable amount OF radical
literature. including a copy OF the
periodical, Soviet Russia" the Of
ficial organ OF the Russian Soviet gov
ernment, was found in F'ischer's pos
session when he was arrested.
The -in-law secuted the
theory that Fisher could have had
any direct connection with the al.

Mrs. M. w. Sturdy and two little

Waycross, Georgia, where they will
make their home. Mr.. Sturdy went
there month ago ana accepted re-
sponsible and lucrative position I'M

of the Sturdy family is generally and
sincerely regretted, and the best
wishes of many friends follow them
to their new home.
The appetites of DR.. B. B. Blount
and his son Justus called for fresh
water fish, and so, several days ago,
they went out into the country and
bobbed on Myrtle creek. 1t was not
a good day for fishing, however, as
most of the Myrtle creek fish were at
tending a convention of fish that was
being held in Prairie creek to con-
suit about the best means of curbing
the wholesale depredations of that
noted and pitiless fisherman, r. B.
Slngletary, who was reported as
catching whole boat-loads of fish at
one fell swoop of his deadly hook
and line. That was the reason why
the doctor and Justus caught only
three trout, or black bass, as some
people call them. But, mark Won,
when they started TO clean their
three fish for supper, there were four
OF them. Fact! Hope to die if if
isn't.

mates by local growers are that the

about as large as it was last season,
while the grapefruit crop will be
nearly 25 per cent less than last sea-

Don't forget: The Commercial Club
meets Friday night-every Friday
night-at eight o'clock. 1t is max

improve Punta Gorda. 1t needs the

good citizens. 1t has done much

many for whom it is working and
could do much more if it had that
support. You are invited.
