TWO SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS LOCKED UP rms MORNING Having luehod a message from Kathleen asking them to look out for a negro with a stolen shotgun, Marshal Tillis and Deputy Sheriff Dan Marshall have been looking out for the gentleman for several days, and they think they made a success- ful haul this morning when they locked up two suspicious characters whom they have been watching for several days. Oue of the negroes left a shot gun with M.r Fischer several days ago, and succeeded in borrowing $2.00 on the gup from Mr. W. K. McRae, who has to hold the gun for the money. The latter helieves everybody is as honest as he is, =0 he just left the gun where it was, with the result that the negro went back and got the firearm and carried it off with the $2.00. It was learned that the negro in question was registered at Mary Clark's emporium on Teaspoon HiJl, and the officers went over there early this morning and placed the negro under arrest. In his room was found a handsome silk dress and a ladies’ coat, which are of course, stolen goods. The officers feel sure they have nabbed a professional burglar —in fact he stated after his arrest that he had escaped a convict camp in Hillsborough county because he “thought his time was out.” He will no doubt have an opportunity to think his time is out again before the officers here get through with him.

That tourists are pouring into Fiorida as never before is the state- ment of J. G. Kirkland, distsict pas- senger agent for the Atlantic Coast Line. Mr. Kirkland said yesterday that the Atlantic Coast Line is be- ing forced to carry a great deal more equipment than last year and that the line is carrying a great many more people. In view of the travel iuto the state, the railroad will put on its New York-Florida, fiyer this year much sooner than last year. It will go on January 1, five or six days earlier than usual. The increase in equipment is not confined to “through’ trains alone but applies to all regular trains as well. Trains reaching even the most remote parts of the state are hegin- ning to feel the influence of the steady stream of passengers into South Florida, and as the season ad- vances this influence will make itself felt more and more. Trains leaving Northern cities are packed with travelers on their way to Florida. One train leaving Wash- ington two days ago had in one coach 250 passengers leaving for points in South Florida. Hotel managers in South Flor- ida, greeted by a flock of new guests with each incoming train, are be- ginning to wear English caps, carry reed canes and wear that broad tourist smile.
