ThC|drop fell at 11:10 and the negro was pronounced dead Thomasvllle gentlemen who n on a fishing trip to Wakul la county Florida tell of a peculiar decision made there last week. The Florida legislature passed a law 1 lug H unlawful i<> scim- for mul- i' i after Uu 6th of December. This almost broke the heart of Florida fishermen and one of them decided to make a tost caso He seined and was duly arrested A The case came up for trial before the county judge of Wakulla county and he * was re leased. r The decision was based upon pecu liar grounds, say the Thomasvllle travellers. The judge declared that tho laws of the state of Florida are of no avail In the county of Wakulla and indeed that Wakulla county Is rjo part of tho state of Florida. The reason for this strange edict is that before tho cession of Spanish terri tory to the United States by which Florida became a part of tho Union, Wakulla county had boon sold by Spain to a man named Forbes. In asmuch as Spain did not own Wakul; la county it could not soil It to the United States. Hence anybody who wants to fish can do so. And it Is said they are more than fishing in W&ftulla while the-rest of the state is fish hungry.
