Bob Blake had an experience Saturday he was not looking for. He was appointed guardian of the estate of Stephens, the unfortunate Syrian fruit dealer, who is now an inmate of the asylum at Chattahoochee. When he took possession the first thing that struck him was an invoice of goods written in Stephens’ native language. A translator had to be interviewed. Source: Ocala Evening Star: 5-15-1905
