Mr. Julian will have the hide of this 'gator prepared and made up into souvenir articles, as mementoes of his killing the big saurian. — Mr. and mrs. M. A.

The City Commissioners have ar-| ranged with Mr. R. F. Lineberger to take charge of the City Park, and it doubtless will soon show much im- provement under that gentleman’s care. Mr. Neil McLeod, who has been in charge of the park for some years, has removed to Arcadia, and Mr. Lineberger was making such a success of the little railroad park that it was decided to let him try hand on the large one. The park is a great asset to the city and de- serves the best of care and atten- tion .

AUBURNDALE POSTOFFICE ROBBED OF $600 IN STANPS AND MONEY Auburndale, May 26.—The peo- ple of Auburndale were thrown into a state of excitement this morning | when it became known that the post- | office, located in the Patterson- | Thomas building, had been burglar- ized, about $300 worth of stamps and around the postoffice, testified that everything was intact up until that hour. ‘When Postmaster J. P. Jones en- tered the office this morning he was horrified to find the safe had been blown open, presumably with nitro- glycerine, and, after a hurried search, it was found that about $600 in money and stamps were missing. The authorities were at once no- tified, but so far there has been no clue as to the identity of the thief. It is presumed that a safe cracker must have dropped off one train, done his work, and escaped on an outzoing train later in the night. Messrs. ing “no.
