Y., and Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Baker’s mother. Dr. and Mrs. Baker spent part fof last winter at the Martinez house, near the Casa Marina.

After having seen “Isles of Ro- mance,” théir enthusiasm was such that they, and the others of the party mentioned, chartered a schooner for a four days’ trip to 1 Tortugas, leaving this morning at 6 o'clock. “It seems obvious that were any regular means of transporta- tion available, tourist travel to marvellous and historic old Fort Jefferson would be steady and re- munerative, and would do much toward enhancing public interest in Key West and its environs,” a promient visitor stated to The Citizen this morning.

JIM KEE GIVEN HEARING TODAY BEFORE GOMEZ COLORED MAN CHARGED WITH AGGRAVATED AS- SAULT HELD IN BOND FOR NEXT TERM OF COURT Jim Kee, colored, was given a preliminary hearing this morning before Rogelio Gomez, justice of the peace, on charge of aggravat- ed assault. After hearing the testimony given by Jim's wife Justice Gomez decided there was sufficient evi dence of intent on the part of the defendant to injure his wife to | warrant his being beld in bond of $200 for the next term of crim- inal court. The story is that Jim had a machete under bis bed and a knife in the bed. When he pre- pared for his night’s repose he started to assault his better half with the knife. She grasped the knife and although fingers ond thumb were madly cut she clung to the weapon until the biade broke and then leaping from the bed sounded an alarm. Felix Gibson, another colored offender, was charged in Justine Gomez’ court yesterday afternoon with assault and battery on bis wife. Before the case came to trial the assaulter and assaultee effect- ed a reconciliation and she. decid- ed not to prosecute. The case was dismimed on the defendant paying costs in the court.
