Seen Again, This Time on Main Street.
Near Public Square.
The mysterious nocturnal prowler
which for months past has been seen at
different points in our city by repu
table citizens and which was last heard
from out Green street way, has again
put in an appearance, this time on Main
street, within two blocks of the public
square. On Tuesday nigl>t last Jimmy
Hope and Pat Erwin were sitting in

discussing the outlopk for the forth
coming horse-swappers’ convention.

yellow. His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was yellow jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit* Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
stomach and liver remedy, and he
writes: “After taking two bottles I was
wholly cured.” A trial proves its

heavy. Likewise their bodies became
weakened under the strain, and at last,
when their words began to come gasp
ingly and in incoherent mntterings,
and their tired heads to nod, the abuse
municipal ceased and the two or three
amused citizens, who had overheard the
“j’int debate” stole silently away, while
the irate ones proceeded homeward in
silence.
A Double Wedding.
Mr. Frank Fleming and Miss Pel ome I
Poole, Mr. David Hawkins and Miss
Lessey Hair were the contracting par
ties to a quiet double wedding, which
took place at the home of Mr. James
This will he quite a romantic occur
rence, the young people not having
seen each other in several years. It
was while Mr. Parker was in this city
a number of years ago that he wooed
and won this young lady, and, though
separated the love kindled at that time
<laytime. Suddenly Pat stopped with
a sentence half-completed on his lips,
and, grasping his companion’s arm,
pointed with a somewhat shaky hand
across the street to a moving object on
the sidewalk in front of the Bagw ell Sr
.Gower carriage factory, and gave ut
terance to the hoarsely whispered ejac
ulation: <
“Look, Jim! There’s the dog killer
as sure as you are alive!”
His companion glanced hastily m the
direction indicated, and then springing
to his feet began to shut the big stable
door, while Pat grasped a chair and
Stood on the defensive in case the
strange animal concluded to attack
them.
It, however, paid no attention to the
two boys, but gliding along with sinu
ous-moving body, occasionally switch
ing its long tail from side to side,
turned into the open lot below the car
riage factory and disappeared among
thr heavy tree shadows. When asked
why they did not pursue the creature
and solve the mystery which surrounds
it, Jimmy Hope, acting as spokesman
for himself and companion, said:
“We hadn’t lost any strange varmint,
and we got just as close to it as we
wanted to; didn’t we, Pat?”
The latter nodded assent, and when
questioned further concerning Gaines
ville’s giasticutis he declared that when
he first noticed the creature it was
crossing Church street just north of
Main, and apparently came from the
La Hatte lot below the steam laun
dry. Both boys unite in describing its
size to be about that of a good-sized
dog, only its body was longer and slim
mer and it walked like a cat, softly and
with a gliding motion. .Just before it
turned out of Main street it gave a
playful leap into the air, and they
could plainly see the profile. The head
of the beast, they say, was large and
round, and there seemed to be a shaggy
mane about its neck and shoulders, ex
tending down betweem its forelegs on
its breast. The tail was long and
tufted fit the end. The color of the
animal, as near as they could judge,
was brown or tawny.
Residents of that neighborhood say
that at infrequent intervals during the
past month, dogs, not otherwise given
to night-baying, have become much ex
cited over something which seems to be
lurking in the tree shadows below the
carriage factory. One night about
three weeks ago Mr. A. S. Erwin, who
lives opposite the lot, was aroused by
the vociferous barking of his dog and
got up to see what was the matter, as
it was an unusual thing for this par
ticular canine to give noise at night. ■
When he went to the front door his
dog was on the sidewalk in front of the
house, rushing excitedly up and down
and baying in great excitement, the
eanse of which seemed to be something
on the other side of the street, invisi
ble to Mr. Frwin. He encouraged the
has burst into a flame of passion. They
haye kept up a correspondence all the
while, and Mr. Parker, finding it im
possible to leave his post, has at last
prevailed on Miss Winburn to come to
him.
Miss Winburn is very popular here,
and her many friends wish her a long
and happy life in her new uome.

Bell and Craig Lock Horns.
As the outcome of an article which
appeared in this week’s issue of The
Eagle concerning the confederate re
union, which took place on Friday of
last week, Messrs. Thomas M. Bell,
one of the promoters of the reunion,
and Harve Craig, locked hbrns in the
postoffice yesterday^ morning. It was
a chance meeting of the two gentle
men. Mr. Bell asked Mr. Craig why
he published such a lie in his paper,
and, without wasting words, the two
men came together. /
Mr. Craig received several severe
wounds about the head, the skm being
broken in two places, and Mr. Bell had
his lip slightly cut by the heel of Mr.
Craig’s shoe, which struck him as theJ
two men were being pulled apart.

A City Dad’s Good Story.
A member of the city council is tell
ing a rich story on two of Gainesville’s
citizens, which provokes roars of laugh
ter whenever repeated. One of this
twain has recently conceived—rightly
or wrongly—a deep antipathy to the
city and the city’s dads. The other
night he met a friend of bibulous pro
pensities and over the bottle the pair
began discussion on the matter of con
tention between the municipality and
the citizen first mentioned. As their
Rotations increased their ire was
strengthened and there was a final joint
