Carleton Independent and Regarded Opponent Of Fence Law
Decisively Defeated All Proposed Amendments
Are Endorsed by Charlotte County,;
Light Vote is Poed.

Interest in the general election
Tuesday was centered in the contest
between j. w. Shelley, regular Dem
cratic nominee for member of the
house of representatives., and Charles
c. Carleton, his Independent oppO-
nont. Shelley won with a majority
of 149 votes. Shelley was nominat-
ed in the June primary, running or
was regarded as being opposed to
nO-fencc legislation, which created
an issue as between free range and
regulation OF the cattle industry.
CarlctoH's supporters We're active
throughout the day, while little was
done in Shelley's behalf until after
noon, when his friends woke up to
the possibility that he might be de
feated and became active.
All OF the proposed constitutional
amendments We're endorsed by Char
lOtte county voters, the reappOrtion-
ment measure, which had been
fought long and hard by many news
papers and speakers and organiza-
tons outside the county, was endors-
ed by majority of SO.

Funeral OF Henry Quednau

The funeral of Henry Quednau,
who was killed in an automobile ac-
cident near Nocatee on Wednesday
night of last week. was held at his
residence on west Marian avenue
at . O'Clock, sunday morning. The
services, which we're simple, but ap-
-propliate. were conducted by Rev.
w. y. Swain, pastor of the Baptist
church, who was assisted by DR..
Francis \. Kerns, pastor OF the
PRESBYTERIAN church. The residence
was packed to oveTfiowing with sor-
rowing friends and a large ConcOurse
stood out in front. Automobiles
were packed for several blocks along
the street; and when the procession
began moving towards The cemetery,
it was seen that it was, with the pos
sibIe exception of that Of Senator
Cooper on July 4th. 1921, the largest
funeral that ever occurred in Punta
Gorda. This was evidence of the
general esteem in which Henry Qued-
nau was held. The profusion of
beautiful floral tributes was such
that il required a special car to take
them to the cemetery. The Masonic
fraternity, comprising about every
member of the local lodge, was in
charge of the obsequies and accorded
the deceased the honors always given
