He was under the influence of whisky when be went to his hotel, the Mag nolia, and became very much enraged with the clerk, Mr.

Forrest, iu regard to a meal ticket. He swore ami used abusive language for some time and I finally drew his knife and made several attempts to cut the clerk. Mr. Forrest stood it as long as he could and in self-defense finally drew his revolver and had it not been for outside inllu- ence the result might have been very serious.

There was a large gathering of citi zens and Alhancemeu atttie itariiie camp grouud ph-nic on Jul) 1st, and but for the unfortunate killing of Thomas Locke by Isaac Kidd, which occurred on the ground, the day would have been one of exceptional pleasure. The prominent Alliaue speakers were there, and the audience had lis tened with rapt attention to the ad-dresbes of Messrs.

C. W. McElroy. J. M.

Barco, and A. P. Baskin. The pic nic dinner had been spread and eaten, and Mr. O.

I-ocke made a motion as ifto draw a pistol. Kidd, being quicker, drew his wearon and fired four ehots Into Locke's body, killing him almost In stantly. Locke had the reputation of being veiy quarrelsome, snd there was "bad blood'1 between the two men, who were brothers-in law. Locke, it is said, had sworn to kill Kidd if he met him at this picnic, with the above result.

Kidd gave himself up to Constable Gnfiiu, and was taken before Justice lucker for trial. The verdict was justifiable homicide, and the prisoner was discharged. Mr. Kidd is a quiet peaceable, citizen, and while the affair is universally re gretted, he has the sympathy of the community. We deplore the affair, and trust that Levy county may never again be the scene of such another.

Is it possible that our town officials have no means within their power to check the wanton destruction of our shade trees? If it costs money to bring this about if it is necessaay to have an experienced detective to catch these villians, it should be done. The import- ance of this cannot be over-estimated the destruction of our shade trees must be stopped.

Last Friday night fifteen young Australian oaks which were growing finely were torn up by their roots or otherwise destroyed. This should end this nefarious business and we call upon our town officials in the name of the people of Eustis, who have the interests of the city at heart, to see that these evil doers are captured and punished.

people will force a suit on the appeal bond we cannot yet say; but it apiears to us as if it will le against their interest to do so, as the interest is accumulating at a rapid rate, and the additional costs will swell the total to very formidable figures. Of course the loss to the railroad company is very heavy; but the loss to Tavares is, an! has been, still heavier. Two hundred thusand dollars of money would not replace this town as it stood on the 8th of April, 1883. More than two-thirds of our population has been lost; industries have been destroyed and a paralyzing check given to the growth and property of the town. Besides we have lost the natuaal progress of the past three years, and have been put back to where we stood in 1884.

it appears to us that the railroad company should accept its defeat gracefully and pay up. It made a desperate legal fight, and all that, legal talent and money could secure was employed by it. To force the victorious plaintiff now to sue on the lond wil prolong the inevitable, but cannot prevent ultimate payment. There is no hostility to the J. T.

K. W. in this town. To the contrary, there is a general feeling of friendliness towards it, and this feeling can be easily increased by promptly settling fhe damage claims. The Leesburg and Tavares telephone line is completed, and in a day or two, when the connections at the Leesburg end of the line are perfected, we will be able to swap congratulations with our west side neighbors.
