MARIE COVELI

Again has the angel Of death Wis.
tied our midst and carried off to her
heavenly abode one of the fairest
little blossoms in Gods garden of life,
little Marie Covell, the 20-months-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William N.
Covell, who died in Galveston Friday
very suddenly with diptheria. The
family went down to Galveston SUM-
day and Mrs. Covell and the children
remained there for the week with
relatives, when very suddenly the
most virulent form of diptheria de-
veloped in little Marie, and she
obeyed the call of the Father, who
took her into His arms and said,
Suffer little children to come unto
Me, and forbid them not, for of such
is the kingdom of heaven" And
here she will await the coming Of
her loved ones.
The funeral took place from the
Southern Pacific train at 1880 Sat.
urday morning, interment being In
Morton cemetery.
The sympathy of the entire com.
munity goes out to the bereaved
parents, and the two little sisters
of the deceased.

cent cash payment required by said
extended franchise has been made
by said company, as well as to
whether it is not fact that the city,
through the failure on Mr.. Maloney's
part to appraise this ferry equipment
before December 81, 1921, has lost
it's option of purchase upon said equip
ment? and
Whereas, as the Commissioner of
Public Utilities is well aware, it is
only a question of the City's being
able to raise the comparatively paltry
sum necessary to take over this
ferry equipment, which has prevented
the City from operating this ferry
system and thus saving perhaps
100000 a year for the people of AL
giers;
Be it resolved, That this Commit
tee will continue to oppose, as best
it may, any attempt on Mr.. Maloney's
part to offer for sale his presently
proposed imperfect, uncomfortable,
and otherwise Objectionable fran
chise, upon which, this Committee
verify believes none but the present
ferry operators may safely bid to
the end that the Mayor and Members
of the Commission Council may yet
be able to make the financial arrange

TROOP NO. 80, IN CAMP.
BY L. J. Schroeder.

After many weeks and days of
preparations, the Boy Scouts of Troop
No. 80, on Sunday, July 80, departed
for the New Orleans Council Boy
Scout Camp at Covington, Louisiana.
Loaded with baggage and the
thoughts in mind of the good times
that awaited them, the boys boarded
the train amidst a shower of kisses
and hand shaking that came from
their parents and friends, who were
at the train to see them off.
1t was certainly hard to part, In
fact it seemed that way when the
dad of one of the scouts freely kissed
and Rugged his little boy. Love in
all of its sweetness and meaning dis
played itself on this occasion.
Suddenly the boys rushed to the
windows of the coaches and upon in
vestigating it was learned that Scout
Richard Stenhouse commonly termed
as the professor was approaching.
With his jazz horn, which was pur-
chased at the ten cents store he
stepped aboard the train only to be
met by the music of ukeleles in the
hands of the Jefferson Parish girls.
"All aboard" the conductor cried,
and Richard began to play his horn
rendering in a beautiful tone that
song that will never grow old, There
is no place like home"
Special mention must be also given
scouts Roy Drumm, Emile Mothe and
Alvin Covell as they with their jazz
music combined with that of some
"Flappers," thoroughly annoyed the
passengers in their coach.
The train sped on its way and
finally made its stop at Covington,
where the boys boarded trucks which
took them three miles out of town,
where the Boy Scout camp is located.
After being given instructions they
were directed to their quarters.
Hardly had they changed their buds
when the Bugler sounded mess and
what a scramble. All that could be
heard at this period was the sound
that came from the tin plates and
cups as they came in contact with
each other. Being served the boys
made their way to crude, huge table
located but short distance from the
camp kitchen, where the food was
properly consumed.
After mess numerous scout games
were played, pictures taken and Wis
itors entertained. The hour Of four
then arrived which meant that a good
swim would be enjoyed and you can
imagine what a mad rush it was.
Lads right from the hot dreary city
splashed in the stream that flows
near by.
Supper time then came, and then
the setting of the sun in the golden
west, the shadows of night falling,
and in a short time could be heard
the sound of the bugle as taps were
sounded. Weary boys from the city
closed their eyes and fell asleep in
Gods big out-of-doors, far away from
Mother and Father, who at home
were thinking of their Boy Scout
Boys.

R0UNTREE NOT GUILTY OF
ILLEGALLY KILLING QUAIL
Jury Finds Verdict of "No( Guilty
in Less Than Three Minutes
Deliberation

| A case tried in the county judges
court Monday which caused a great
deal OF discussion and in the outcome
of which there was much interest was
that of the State versus L. w. Roun-
tree, local Atlantic Coast Line Agent
who was charged with hunting and
killing quail illegally.
The State, which was represented
by Col. j. H. Hancock, based it's case
upon the fact that Rountree and Jus
tus Blount were seen at a point near
Cleveland on the Punta Gorda-Arcad-
la Road, on September goth, that sew
eral shots We're fired by them and that
later quail was found by a bird
dog in a clump of palmettoes near
the point where the shooting was
done, the quail being dead, but still
warm and bleeding. One witness for
the state testified that he saw birds
Tying and that Rountree fred at
them. Rountree, his father, who was
along, and Blount, all testified that
they saw no birds and that they were
shooting at rabbits. Empty shells
picked up at the spot where the shoot
ing was done were introduced in evi-
dence. One of them was a 12-gauge
and the other one a 20-gauge, the
presumption being that the gun used
by Rountree was a 12-gauge and that
the bird was killed with this gun,
since the witness testified that Roun-
tree shot at the birds. Rountree's
gun was introduced as evidence and
upon examination proved to be a 16-
gauge. Blount's gun is a 20-gauge.
Rountree, his father. and Blount all
testified that they left town about
1880 or 1:45 on the day in question
and that the shooting took place
about 200 o'clock. whereas states
witnesses testified that the shooting
occurred about 400 o'clock. The
bird supposed to have been killed by
Rountree and found by the dog was
introduced, and. according to one of
the jurymen, there was no sign of
shot wound about it.
The case was an amusing one in

PINEAPPLE PRODUCTS MAN
IN BAD ABOUT BOARD BILL
j. +. O'Hanlon, President $500, 600
Concern, Gets Two Months i'm
County Camp

j. F. O'Hanlon, formerly president
or the Pineapple Products and Manu-
featuring Association of Tampa, a
concern claiming 100000 capital
was sentenced to pay fine of $4,000
and costs or spend two months in the
convict camp or on the roads when
he went before County Judge Trabue
this week on a charge of having fail
ed to pay a board bill of about S32.-
rs, alleged to have been incurred
while he was stopping at the Travel
ers' Hotel here a few weeks ago.
O'Hanlon. it will be remembered by
many people, came here and tried to
promote the organization of a local
pineapple growing and pineapple pro-
ducts manufacturing scheme which
involved the investment of consider
able capital by local people. So far
as known no stock was sold.
O'Hanlon stopped at the Travellers
Hotel and left owing about $1,000, it
is alleged, which caused Mrs. Johns,
proprietor of the hotel. to have him
arrested. Sheriff Lipscomb went to
Tampa Friday of last week and re-
turned with him. Although he claims
to own about $4,000 worth of stock
in the concern of which he was presi-
dent, it appears that he could not pay
the board bill or the fine, so was sent
to the camp. A friend called up by
phone from Tampa and sent the mes
sage to him that he (the friend)
would like to help him but didn't
have the money.
The Herald is in receipt of a COM
munication written on the stationery
of the concern, which reads as fol-
lows: will you kindly pub that j.
F. O'Hanlon formerly connected VITA
this company is no longer mem
Der of the same or has any connec-
tions with this company. We are re-
now and will see you all
later. l thank you. c. Wade Page,
secretary and treasurer"
The badly printed stationary in
forms the public that the capital of
the concern is 100000.

A Singular Incident

A rather singular incident occurred
week. Billie Williams, who has
herd of beef cattle in the farm pas
ture, went out there 20 butcher one
of them. He called on X. S. Single
tary, who is living at the farm, to
help him, which Singletary said he
would do as soon as he finished eat
ling breakfast. Williams then went
on to the PASTURE; and, in a few
minutes, the report OF his gun was
heard. Then Singletary went to the
pasture; and, on entering it, saw a
steer down on its knees, rolling it's
head on the ground, and evidently
badly wounded. Feeling sure that
it had been shot by Williams, Single
tary proceeded to butcher the animal.
On looking around, he was surprised
to see Williams butchering another
steer which he had shot and which
he said was the only one he had shot.
The men skinned both steers; and, in
doing so, discovered the one butcher
ed by Singletary had been struck by
and badly wounded inter-
nally, some five or six Of the ribs
having been torn from the backbone.
This steer was thrown into the woods
for the birds and "varments" to eat,
only the hide being saved.

CITY WILL GET EXPERTS
ADVICE ON PLANT MATTER
City Manager Authorized to Employ
Consulting Engineer to Inves-
tigate Fully

At special meeting of the City
Commission Wednesday night to con-
slider the matter of the possible pur-
chase and operation of municipal
power and water plant, the city man
lager was authorized by the commits
sulting engineer to investigate the
Iadvisability of such move on the
part of the city and make recommen-
dation as to the best action for the
Icity to take after going into the mat
ter fully. 1t is understood that the
lefty manager has been in correspon-
dence with number of such engin-
GERS and the action taken by the COM
mission leaves to his discretion the
selection of the engineer to do the
work.
The work to be done by the engi-
neer is TO investigate local conditions
thoroughly and determine if the pres
ent needs of the town are such as
to justify the installation of an cleo
trio and water plant by the city. or
whether a continuance of the present
contract would be to the advantage
Iof the city. The chief question to
be decided by him is whether the
of electricity and water
is great enough to make the opera
ton of municipal plants possible on
a paying basis. 1t is understood that
one engineer, e. V. Camp, after maxi
ing slight investigation of condi-
tions, gave it as his opinion that the
conditions here are such as to make
possible the operation OF such plants
at profit.
According to city officials, even
though it should be decided not TO
Install the plants, the expense Of the
engineer will not be lost, since the
alternative in such an event is re-
newal of the contract with the utili-
ties company his expert advice will
be of great value to the city in franz
ing a new contract with the utilities
that will protect he public's inerests.

CALOOSATCHEE RIVER
REACHES UNUSUAL LEVEL
Water Higher Than for Many Years
But Stories of Damage Are
Exaggerated
~IOTo 64STgR-

During the early part of the week
the Caloosahatchee river over6owed
| its banks practically its entire length
from the source, Lake Okeechobee, to
the Gulf, a distance of some seventy
miles, and overland Transportation
was seriously interfered with.
Reports from Fort Myers are to the
Icffe2t that the river was higher than
for IL years and much higher than
was thought possible since drainage
canals were put in and Lake Okeecho-
bee lowered several feet.
Alarming reports were in circula-
ton concerning the seriousness of the
flood and safety of up-river commun-
tiles, especially LaBelle, but while
the water come up and ran through
some of the streets, there was no loss
of life, little damage to houses and
so far as known no stock was drown
ed. The principal damage, it seems,
was to the young crops, but the
river valley is not the only section
that suffered in this manner. Re-
ports from Moore Haven are to the
effect that serious damage was done
to crops in that section.
While the rains in Charlotte coun-
ty have been heavy, no damage to
crops or groves has resulted, so far
as known, and the excess rainfall in
Lee county has been much greater
than the excess here.

FORT MYERS MAY INSTALL
MUNICIPAL POWER PLANT
Engineer is Compiling Data as to
Cost of Plant Adequate for
City's Needs

The city of Fort Myers may soon
own and operate it's own electric pow
er plant, according to the Press OF
that city. Says the Press of recent
date:
1.-THE city's electrical engineer, Mr..
Lusk, left Fort Myers this afternoon
for Tampa to confer with high Of
fetal of New York company with
reference to the cost of turbines, boil
ers, etc. While he is absent from the
city Mr.. Lusk will obtain an esti-
mate of prices and data on an cleo
trio lighting and power plant ade-
Quate to serve the city of Fort Myers,
one that may be added to as the flu
ture requires.
at became known today that the
City Commission, which unanimously
adopted a resolution at its meeting
last night asking City Electrical En-
the proposed municipal lighting and
power plant, looks with favor on the
well developed plan to furnish elec-
tricity to the citizen-consumers of
Fort Myers.
City Electrical Engineer Lusk,
after his conference at Tampa with
the consulting engineer of the biggest
lighting plant equipment
establishment in the country, will re-
turn to this city, arriving here the
middle of next week. That his data
will be received with great interest
by the city commissioners is as GER
tain as il is that they are contem- |
plating seriously the matter of estab- !
fishing a municipal electric lighting |
and power plant here in the near |
future. st. Petersburg is just install
ing such plant and many other
cities in the state operate them salts
