THEORIES AS TO HOW HE WAS
BROWNED IN INDIAN RIVER,
WHICH 'IS A WIDE AND VERY
SHALLOW STREAM.
___ telegram |was received here
7/ late yesterday afternoon stating
that the body of Mr. Felder Harley,
v. ho wAs drowhed in Indian river
near Titusville yesterday morning,
■was recovered yesterday afternoon.
It has been prepared tor shipment
to this city and is expected to reach
^here tonight.
The telegram from Titusville
indicated that life was not extinct
^■then the body was recovered, but
Hhat Mr. Harley died shortly after-
awards. The understanding here
was that the body remained In the
water some time before it was re
covered, so the statement that there
were evidences of life when It was
found could not he well understood,
Mr. Hay Thomas was at Titus
ville with Mr. Harley a few days ago
and h e states that It was the cus
tom to go out on Indian river and
go in bathing and that he did so fre
quently while he was there. They
would leave their clothing on the
boat; which they anchored out In
the water. ,
[ The river at that point Is about
| seven miles wide and Mr. Thomas
| states that it was easy to wade out
Into it to a width of three miles,
se the bottom of the river bed
smooth and the water shallow.
There was no treacherous current
l n the .river and Mr. Harley was
drowned In water not more than
“Tour, feet deep. The telegram whj^b
y stated that he was seized with
wramp while in the water fs the
^/rTTr*explanation of how the tragedy
occurred. He was alone at the
time, and it is said that he fre
quently went out on the water and
went in bathing.
The telegram in regard to his
death came from Mr. Charles Card
ener, a relative of the family of
Mr. W. L. Thomas, of this city, and
a gentleman who had taken a good
deal of interest in him and had shown
him numerous courtesies on account
( of the fact that he was from Val«
dosta.
Mr. J. H. Harley, the father of
young ma n who was drowned,
was at Argyle when the news of
the tragedy reached him and he
" immediately hastened to Valdosta,
reaching this city yesterday after
noon.
Mr. P. N. Harley, of Waycrosa,
a brother of Mr. J. H. Harley, and
an uncle of the deceased, went
down to Titusville as soon as he
heard of the drdwning and will re
turn to thto city with the body. It
was stated yesterday that Mrs. Har
ley would go on the afternoon train,
but she Abandoned th 0 trip, as It
was Impossible for her to leave here,
and a telegram from Waycrosa
stated that Mr. P. N. Harley toad
already gone.
It was thought probable that the
body of Mr. Harley would reach
Valdosta on the train from Palatka
this morning, but It did not arrive
A, wllj^not come until tonight.

was accused of stealing a suitcase
irom a negro at one of the depots
here this week and also a suit of
clothes from Lazarus 1 store some
time ago .gave Policeman Jacobs one
of the hardest races that officer has
ever had vesterday afternoon.
The negvo was spied on Ashley
street and he saw the policeman
about the time the policeman caw
him. Something withi n him told
him' tJiat the policeman wanted him,
so he began to run through a
store ana out through U and then
Lit# next one and Ua:l Through
it. with th e policeman close behind
him.
Then the negro broke out towards
Patterson street and on towards the
A. C. L. The chase attracted a
good many people and a large crowd
took after the negro for the pur
pose of helping the officer catch
him.
The chase led down Crane avenue
and on to Briggs street, over on the
Georgia and Florida road. The
crowd got the negro hemmed in
and he was soon arrested.
H e was brought back to the city
by Policeman Jacobs and turned
over to the Jailer.

THE FESTIVAL
WAS ENJOYED
BY BIG CROWD
Some Good Music at Au
ditorium Last Night
THE RUSSIAN DANCER MADE
GOOD, THOUGH THE MANAGER
OF THE ORCHESTRA APPEARS
TO HAVE BEEN A "SLOB."
Barring out some little unpleas
ant features, the music festival was
a success. Ther 0 was a very good
attendance and the music was good.
The Russian Symphony Orchestra is
probably no better than Damrosch's
or the Dresden. Its selections wero
not as good as those given toy I)am-
rosch last year, but the vocalists
were the best that have ever been
in Valdosta ,while Miss Lopoukowa’a
dancing was a novelty here and was
unusually* pretty. The audience en-
joyed it morq tha n any feature of
the program.
One of the unpleasant features in
regard to the concerts wae the ap
parent indifference of the musclans
to the applause of the audience.
The encores were not responded to
at all, though the singers came
back and bowed to the audHgsce,
which, of course, was very satisfy
ing to tho«e who* have an ear for
music and who want it. The large
orchestras which have been here in
the past were very clever in this
respect and it was naturally expect
ed that the Russians would pay
some attention to the applauses. It
seems, however, that all of the Rus
sians belong to th e union and are
working- by the minute or by the
hour, and, of couree, whenever they
tear off a tune they want the gentle
man of Jerusalem to add a few
more pennies to the envelope.

deal of experience with shafpepi
and who was constantly on the look
out to keep from being -beaten out
of something. H e did not say any
thing especially to get on anybody's
nerve*, but his general demeanor
was go unbecoming and so Irritating
that it was only toy tactfulness that
some of the Valdostans were kept
