LAKE DAVIDSON
APPEARS AGAIN

The heavy rain of yesterday after
noon and last night made a large
pond at the foot of Main street at the
depot plaza. The water filled in all
the space between the foot of the
street and the creamery and rose high
enough to flood the flower garden that
Mr.. Davidson has on the south side of
his restaurant. In some places the
water was over two feet deep. The
lake has receded some today but is
still quite a large body of water.
Aside from washing out the inter
sections between Newberry, Fox, Her
bert and Tuscawilla streets with Okla
waha last nights rain did very little
damage to the paving work now goins
on in the city. The work on Lake
Weir avenue was delayed very little
None of the brick work was washed
out and the only delay occasioned i:
the time it will take for the same t.
dry sufficient to continue laying brick
This paving has reached the corner O.
Lake Weir avenue and South Eighth
street and will soon be completed t.
the south end of the city.

GAS PIPE AND MATCH
CAUSE NEAR FIRE

Orlando, Sept. 4.-C. w. McTeer of
the gas department of the Orlando
Water and Light Company, desiring
to know few days ago whether a
certain pipe line in the kitchen of the
San Juan hotel contained gas, un-
screwed the cap on the pipe and
brought a lighted match into contact
with the vapor issuing therefrom.
1t did.
1t was necessary to call out the
fire department, and for fifteen min
utes there was no end of excitement
on the avenue in front of the hostelry.
Roy McCracken was the hero Of the
hour While several enthusiasts rush
ed about frantically trying to get an
S. o. S. call to the fire department,
and others were throwing water on
the flames, McCracken grabbed a
towel, threw it into a water container,
and thus drenched, thrust it over the
pipe. The fame was extinguished.
Meanwhile however, the feminine
cashier was seen going down the ave-
nue. toward the bank with hotel bank
roll. When this was observed, it was
taken to mean that the fire threaten
ed to reach serious proportions.
Edwin P. Beeman, manager of the
hostelry, also had hand in furnish
ing an interesting sidelight to the
general excitement. Beeman is what
is known as 'fire hound Wher
the fire alarm siren on the water
works announces a blaze anywhere il
the city, he dashes to his car, careens
wildly to fire headquarters, locates
the blaze and sets sail for it. Wher
excited persons discovered McTeel
had confirmed suspicion that the
pipe contained gas, the siren let go
Beeman knew nothing of McTeer's in
vestigation in his kitchen and as usua
he cleared the sidewalk in one leal
and headed for fire headquarters. Be
fore he could reach there he met tn
fire apparatus sailing down town. H
turned and followed and when he dis
covered the department at anchor il
front of his hotel, and half of tn
population of the city congregate
about, his alarm was so great h
could hardly climb out of his car.

SAINTS AND CATS
EVEN IN THE SIXTH

Storm broke up the first game be-
tween the Wildcats and Saints.
With the score nothing to nothing
in the sixth inning of the first game
between the Wildcats and the Saints
the game had to be called on account
OF the storm, which broke over Ocala
at about $50 yesterday afternoon.
Both teams were goinng good and the
six innings played were of the var
iety that makes baseball fans yell and
enjoy themselves.
Henry Gray occupied the center
spot for Ocala and was pitching a
great game of ball when the game
was called. He had allowed four
hits in the six innings but two of
these hits came in the same stanza.
Wilson, the Saints slabman was being
touched up little heavier and had
been felt for seven safe ones but was
able to tighten up in the pinches and
hold the Ocala runners on bases.
The Wilcats made one error and
there was only one miscue charged
against the State Champions. BigeloW
| dropped one for them in right field
but the wind had it and it was pretty
hard chance, so he is not to be blamed
much for his error.
In the fourth inning the spectators
! were given a rare treat in the way OF
an usual play. Bradley came to bat
for the Saints and hit one towards
left field. Stewart, our new left fielder
lately acquired from Leesburg, turn
ed and ran towards the fence as soon
as the ball left the bat. All eyes were
watching the ball and Stewart. Look
ing back over his shoulder Stewart
saw that the ball was going to pass
him so when it was due to be over
head, he leaped into the air and threw
his glove hand as high as he could
Much to the surprise of the crowC
there was a second impact as loud a:
wnen the ball hit the bat and the bal
ceased its mad flight and reposec
peacefully in Stewards glove. Wher
the ball was caught, Stewart was al
the edge of the bank in left field anc
if heh ad not caught the fly it woult
have hit high up on the fence in th'
left garden. 1t was the best catcl
ever seen in this neck Of the wood
and the fans did not fail to let Stew
art know that they thought so whel
he came back to the dug out. Tn
applause was the longest ever givel
a player from the local stand
Dean robbed Rymer of a prett,
line drive through second base in tn
!, fourth inning. Stephens, playing shor
for Ocala, had his hitting eye wit
him and secured three safe ones out o
. three times at bat. Scott landed on
single and two bagger out of thre

LEV|ES FOR YEAR
BEING. ESTIMATED
BY BOARDS TODAY
City Levy Cut From S1s to 20
Cents as Result Of New
Valuations ss=:== i:

Taxpayers of Marion County are
marking time today while the tax
levying bodies of the county ana
the various municipalities in the
county are trying to estimate the
amount of money needed to run the
affairs of the county for the next
fiscal year. More interest IS man
ifested in the work this year than
usual on account of the abnorma
increase in the valuation OF the
property of the county under the
..true and actual valuation" plan
The tax levies last year in the
county were based on valuation
of SS2.502,5s2, while this year the
levies will be based on a<valuatlon
of sos, ,2S5,276.16. The figures this
year represent net gain OF S2o,'
7S2,693 or approximately "a per
cent greater than last year. II
the County Court, the chief levy
ing body in the county, raises the
same amount this year as last, the
levy should be about 80 per cent
lower this year.
A 2C-cent levy on each 800 val
uation last year netted S165,0OO for
the general county fund. If the
same amount of money is to be
TdlSet ILLS ySc- d lSNy VI IL SSi -
on the 500 valuation will be ample
to take care OF the fund. The same
will hold good for the general coun'
ty road fund. A 22-cent. on the
S100 valuation last year raised
S1S1.505 for this purpose, while
this year with the increased yalua
ton 16-cent levy on the S100
valuation will provide fo- this fund
In addition to the County Court
the boards of education OF the
various magisterial and independ
ent school districts of the county
are meeting today to estimate the
i cost Of carrying on the educational
work in the county for the fiscal
year. The school levies will also
be considerable less than last year
After the levying bodies have ar
rived at their estimates, the law
requires that the estimates be
published at least two times be
