FOUND
MANY YEARS AGO
FOUGHT WITH SHOTGUNS.!
Discovered While Boring at
a Depth of 800 Feet.
IN MARION COUNTY, FLA.
Theories of Chemists and Geologists
Put to flight—Options Being Sc«
cured on supposed Valuable Lands
at Citra, i‘ ia.—Xew Apparatus.
Ocala, 3TIa., July 9—Referring to
the discovery of oii indications in this |
section, the most; notable statement as !
to its existence is told by County Com- I
missiouer Ed L. Wartmauu of Citra.
He savs that about 14 years ago when j
Jitmes A. Harris was having an artesian
well bored on his place at Citra an oil
stream was struck at a depth of 820
feet, after boring through a strata of
kennel coal. The oil was in sufficient
quantity to grease the large well ropes
for a distance of 200 or 300 feet.
Story Continued.
Mr. Harris, who is extremely con
scientious and cautious in any state
ment he may make, confirms this story.
In a letter written by Mr. Harris, he
says:
“1 bored the well at Citra to the
depth of 800 feet. At oue place quite a
little oil would come up with the water,
a scum would form on top if allowed to
stand for any considerable time. ”
Mr. Hamilton, who is a professional
well-borer, and has sunk many well- 1 ,
also confirms the story. He says it is
the deepest well that he has bored in
this section, and contains the most de
cided indications of oil.
Options Secured.
Options on supposed oil lands are still
being secured, but nothing definite can
be known until a well is sunk and an
oil reservoir is or is not reached.
A gentleman from Oil City, Pa., says
it must be borne in mind that the drill
o: the well borer often puts the theories
of chemists and geologists to flight.
Apropos of the oil discovery, one of
Ocala’s most expert chemists has sent
an order for the latest and most im
proved apparatus for making analytical
tests of oil substances, and we shall
soon have some definite knowledge of
what the supposed oil surface inaica-
tf ns really are. whether the genuine ar
ticle or some other substance resemb
ling it.

Edward Franklin and His Son-in-Law
the Principals.
Plant City, Fla., July 10.—A fatal
duel with shotguns has been fought
near this place, and as a result Edward
Franklin, a farmer, is dead and David
Kinard, Franklin's son-in-law, Mrs.
Kinard and their baby are all seriously
wounded.
Franklin had employed a farm hand
to do some plowing, for which he was
to receive 700 strawberry plants. The
work having been finished, Franklin
gave an order on Kinard for the plants.
When the employed man presented the
order Kiuard refused to fill it.
This was reported to Franklin, who
immediately armed himself with a shot
gun and went to the Kinard home. Ar
riving there, he immediately opened
fire on his son-in-law, missing him, but
striking and seriously wounding his
daughter and grandchild. Kinard ran
for his gnu and returned the fire. An
other volley was fired at each other,
Franklin failing dead and Kinard being
seriously wounded. Kiuard has not
been arrested.

An Elaborate Program Is Likely to
Be Arranged.
Jacksonville, Fia., July 10. Sep
tember 7 has been officially appointed
by the authorities of the Pan-American
exposition as Florida day at the exposi
tion. Two Florida military companies
and one band, the latter from Pensaco
la have already signified an intention
to’be at the exposition'on that day, ana
there is a strong probability that other
organizations will go, so that the state
will be well represented.
No program for Florida day has yet
been announced, but it is altogether
urobable that one will be arranged
There will doubtless be receptions, and
nerhaps addresses and the usual cere
monies incident to such occasions.

Picnic Party Was 31ade Deathly
Sick Friday.
LaGrange, Ga., July 8.—A party of
picnickers, 25 in number, left on the
j Macon, LaGrange and Birmingham
; road Friday morning to spend the day
I at Warm Springs.
The outing was planned for the
) Fourth, but so many negroes were
going out on the train that the ladies
objected and the picnic was postponed
for one day. Those composing the
party had prepared lunch on the third
to be eaten on the Fourth at Warm
Springs, but as the outing was post
poned a day the salads—chicken salad,
salmon salad and potato salad—were
kept over until the fifth.
1 All partook of the salads and 19 out o:
| 25 were made deathly sick, only a few
I of the 19 being able to make the trip
: home. Those who came home are up
today, but are very weak.
The reports from those at Warm
Springs are that they are doing well. It
is supposed that the potato salad pois
oned them. So many of the party were
suddenly taken sick that there were not
enough of well ones to wait on them.
However, a number of LaGrange peo
ple were at the hotel and were called
and the invalids were properly looked
after.

INVESTIGATION PENDING
: Alleged Had Handling of the Euiiow-
i
meut Rank Fund, Which Is Declared
| ed to Be Unavai able For Use Ex-
I cept at Great Sacrifice.
Chicago, July 9.—Behind closed aud
carefully guarded doors the supreme
lodge, Knights of Pythias, today met
here in special session, to consider the
alleged injudicious handling of the
funds of the Endowment rank of the
order.
Members of the fraternal organisation
both in the United States and Canada
are said to be intensely interested in the
outcome of the investigation, a report of
which will be made during the present
meeting by President C. F. S. Neal of
the board of control of the Endowment
rank.
Fund- Unavailable.
It is said that §500,000, the entire
fund of the endowment rank, may be
so badly handled during the past few
years that it is unavailable for nse ex
cept at a great sacrifice. Meanwhile
the death rate has increased to such an
extent that the rank is §100,000 behind
on death claims.
Along with a discussion of the proper
treatment for the officials said to be re
sponsible for the condition will be the
consideration of new measures for the
restoration of the rank to its former
basis.
Special Assessment Probable.
A special assessment of insured mem
bers and an increase in the monthly
payments of insurance were said to be
probable by members of the supreme
lodge before they went into session.
The meeting will coutinue three days,
or possibly longer, it is thought.
BELIEVED TO BE DEMENTED.
Young Girl of Colorado Victim of
Horrible Outrage.
Denver, July 9.—Jesse Kinpert, the
14-year-old danghter of Carrie D. Kin-
pert, who resides at 119 West Ninth
avenue, was assaulted and horribly mu
tilated iu her room during the absence
of her mother last night.
Mrs. Kiupert had been away during
the evening and upon returning home
found the doors open. Hastening to
her daughter’s room, she found the bed
clothes strewn about and blood spat
tered over the room. The girl was no
where to be seen.
She aroused the neighbors, who be
gan searching the neighborhood. About
midnight they found the girl in a va
cant lot near by, unconscious, with
numerous cuts and bruises on her body.
Chris Jensen was brought to the station
by a policeman in the outskirts of the
city. Jensen was found abont a mile
from the place of assault. When the
policeman approached Jensen the latter
whipped out a knife and shouted that
he would not be taken to jaiL The po
licemen captured him, however, and
brought him to jail.
On the way ne spoke of having been
compelled to defend himself from a wo
man, saying that he had cut her up
pretty badly. The knife he had threat
ened the officer with was covered with
blood.
Shortly after Jenson was locked up
the police department was notified of
assault on the Kmpert girl. The police
are sure that Jensen is the guilty party.
They believe he is demented. The vic
tim of last night’s assault is still alive,
but in a critical cond.tion.
Chief or Police Strong says Jensen is
undoubtedly insane.
Jensen says he had once been shot at
in Tokepa, Kan., for getting into trou
ble with another man’s wife.
In the course of his examination at
police headquariers Jensen confessed
that he assaulted Jessie Kinpert and
also that he staboeu another woman last
night near the end of the University
Park car line. This morning the dead
body of Mrs. Builet was found at the
place described by Jensen. She had
been stabbed iu the breast and the
blade of the knife had penetrated her
heart, causing sudden death. The body
lay iu the roadway and there was no
evidence of a struggle. Jensen said the
woman “was after him,” and so he
stabbed her. Mrs. Bullet lives on a
ranch near the city.

Knoxville, July 9. — The Jeliico

temporary injunction agaiust the dis
trict officers of the United Mine Work
ers of America and against certain strik
ers to prevent them interfering with
the employment of coal miners or other
labor in its mines near Jeliico. This
action is a sequel to the Blue Gem mi

Postmaster Is Dead.
New Orleans, July 9.—Judge Fer
dinand B. Earhart, postmaster at N6W
Orleans, is dead. He was born in the
Indian Territory in 1840. He was civil
judge in the seventies, deputy collector
of the port in 1890 and United States
district attorney under Harrison and
Cleveland. He succeeded J. R. G. Pit
kin as postmaster in January, 1901.

Russia Tired of Her Retaliatory
Tarill Acts.
New York, July 3 —It is announced
in a Washington dispatch to the Jour
nal of Commerce that a decided dispo
sition to counteract the acts of retalia
tory duties imposed on certain Anieri-
ean products has recently been shown
by the Russian government. It would
seem, from the earnestness of the rep
resentations made to the department of
state by the Russian ambassador before
his departure from Washington aud by
the charge d’affairs since then, although
it is not openly acknowledged, that
Minister De Witte regrets his action in
retaliation duties, causing friction be
tween the two governments.
The Russian government seems to be
seeking a reopening of the case in re
gard to the countervailing duty on su
gar. It is not the volume of Rnssiau
sugar imports into the United States,
which determines the anxiety of the
Russian government in the matter, hut
rather its general policy of avoiding
friction where nothing is to be gained.
The assurance of friendship given by
Count Casini and the charge, M. De-
Willant, made a favorable impression at
the state department, but do not prom
ise any immediate result.
The single result which may follow
the representations of the Russian am
bassador is the removal of the reciproc
ity negotiations which were abandoned
last winter
Hon. John A. Kasson, who dealt with
most of the reciprocity treaties, is now
on leave of absence, Definite arrange
ments for a treaty with Russia will
probably not be made until his return.

Farmer Norman, the man who shot
Sheriff Brewer abont a year ago while
resisting arrest near Riceboro.
and clerk of the supreme court, attor
ney general, state treasurer and mem
ber of the board of public works.
The nominations for governor and
lieutenant governor are the only ones in
which there is not a free-for-all race,
with many entries. But the large at
tendance is largely due to the reunion
of Democrats who have not been to
gether in Ohio since 1896. Those who
have been called "Gold Democrats” are
very largely represented, and many of
them have not attended their conven
tions in Ohio for years. Nearly all the
old leaders of this class are here, and
they are given places of prominence on
the committees and in the organization
generally.
Conservative Policy.
While they consider the financial
question settled, they are actively co
operating with those who are being de
nominated the “conservatives” in op
posing any other so-called isms that
they claim will handicap the party as it
has been handicapped by certain alli
ances in the past. They are with the
McLean men as against the Johnson
men in the proposed “new departure”
of the latter on taxation, municipal
ownership, etc. They are bitterly od-
posed to the insular policy of the nation
al administration and to the present
state administration, and want all the
Democrats iu Ohio to gather for the
purpose of securing control of the legis
lature as well as of the electing of the
state ticket and to elect a United States
senator.
At the conferences this morning it
was evident that the conservatives
would control the 21 congressional dis
tricts this afternoon and have ail the
committees which meet tonight to pre
pare their reports for the convention to
morrow morning.

The jury was out.an hour and a half.
Nettie Local Fights.
There was much hustling for mem
bers of the committee on credentials on
account of local fights in some counties,
notably Montgomery, Butler and Union.
The state committee and the committee
on resolutions will be easily in the
hands of the conservatives before the
district meetings are held, but there is
no friction.
Every effort seemed to have been
made for harmony by the conservatives,
but they insisted on harmony being se
cured without any compromise with
what they termed as “new ideas,” "ex
periments,” “experiences, ” etc.
