Designation and official recog-
milton of well-defined boundary
line separating Dade and Monroe
counties will be discussed in Key
West Monday at conference
between engineers and other Of
ficials of the two counties, it was
learned this morning at the coun-
ty engineers office in the court
house. The shore line has al
ways been considered the boun-
Diary line between the two coun-
ties, and there seems to be no
authentic knowledge of a survey
of the line having been made, Ell
gineers state. Engineers of the
two counties are planning sur.
Vey which will be marked by the
proper monuments and these will
be placed at proper intervals so

ty engineer; J. D. Redd, of the
Dade county commissioners, and
other Dade county officials are

Katie Putnam's once popular
stage song, Love Will Find The
Way, and the old saying that
love laughs at locksmiths, and
prison bars, were exemplified in
the office of Judge Hugh Gum
yesterday afternoon. 1t was a
colored Cupid this time, but
heavy gates of steel bars swung
open in order that his mission
of matrimony may be accom-
plished. With the groom under
heavy guard from the sheriff's
force the twain were made one
flesh, but dim appeared the way
and far the distance to- the love
nest, cooling and companionship.
John Harden, negro, born in
Killentown, Alabama, was mar
ried to Angela Valenzuela, Key
West colored woman, with Coun-
ty Judge Gum officiating. Fol
lowing the ceremony the bride
went her way. The groom was
returned to Jail without bail, be-
ing held in connection with the
death of Henry Riddle, March II.
Editorial Comment: Governor
Carlton has come down like a
duck on a June bug ION Key
West, directing the sheriff of
Monroe county to put the lid on.
We doubt that Key West is any
worse than Tampa, Miami or
West Palm Beach or several 9TH
er cities. We should be glad to
see them all improve, but doubt
that they will do so until the peo-
pie in them improve.
