Later the automobile was overturned

up the frozen adder and warmed it
into life by placing it in his bosom
and was fanged in return for his

STAR or ATURN TO THE RIGHT
SON or PIONEER LAND PuR-
CHASER IN CcALA

It will be most interesting to oul
readers to know that young Mr.. Jos
eph Striker who played the leading
role in the beautiful play Turn tc
the Right at the Temple theater in
this city on Wednesday night is a
son of Mr.. Joseph Striker, of New
York, who was one Of the pioneer pur
chasers of land in Ocala, having
bought property here in 1879 and who
spent some time in this city and vici-
nifty. Mr.. Striker was delighted to
have tila opportunity of playing in the
town, which he said was the favorite
spot in Florida of his father. This
very talented and handsome young
actor is a great grandson of Major
General Striker, who fought on Man.
haitian Island, N. Y, in the war of 1872
and to whose memory there is a
handsome monument on the grounds
of Columbia college in New York
city. The Striker family settled in
the city Of New York in 1910 and their
ancestry dates back with that of the
Astors and Vanderbilts and the other
pioneer settlers of New York.
Besides his great success in the
leading male role in this beautiful
sunshine play of John Golden's. Mr..
Striker has also been most successful
as film star and has played opposite
Madge Kennedy, Annette Kellerman,
Dorothy Gish and others.
Mr.. Strikers family have number
OF friends at Morriston near this city
and while here he paid visit to Mr..
George and family at that place.
If our memory is not at fault young
Mr.. Striker is also related to the Sis
trunk family of cur city.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, brother OF
Mrs. Sistrunk's father, married a Miss
Striker soon after the cessation of
hostilities in 1865, and the elder Strik.
err father of Mr.. Joseph Striker,
was for number of times a visi.
tor to our city and made a host
OF friends because of his great con
geniality and hospitality. He is rem
embered with a great deal of pleasure
by some Of our older citizens
