Town Named By Flip <?f Coin.
Ceo. II. Daey, in Dearborn Indepen
dent.
Three decades ago, a citizen of De
troit and a Russian nobleman on a
tishing trip along the western coast
"f Florida decided 'a most extraordi
nary dispute by the flip of a coin. It
so happend that these two gentlemen J
jointly owned the land which today
lli the site of the city of St. Peters
burg, known popularly from coast to
-oast as the sunshine city of the
South. These capitalists agreed in (
'heir selection of a location for the
city which they proposed to build and
develop. They could not agree, how- '
t-vi-r, on the name. Finally, the Amor
nan who wished to fall the city
Detroit, Florida, suggested to his
companion who wanted to christen
the embryonic municipality St.
Petersburg, after his beloved birth- j
place, that they toss a coin to decide
the controversy. The nobleman ac- 1
? luiesced. A dime was flipped into the
air and when it foil to the deck of the
boat the head of the coin was ex
posed. The Russian had won and St.
Petersburg became the name of the
resort which during the winter of
1022-1923 entertained approximate! v
'.'0,000 visitors.
The town of York was in darkness
for two hours last Thursday as a re
sult of a col'ision between an auto
mobile of a v. i I known make and a
power line pole. "I.iz7.ie", gtxided
by the hand of the pilot, who theyx>
lice say had been imbibing forbidden
beverages, hit the pole so soljd tha^
the power line was knocked, .down..
The power line Wft ? repaired within I
