A remarkable incident occurred

A remarkable incident occurred lately on
IF Creek in this county at Mr.. Ed. Taft's
farm. Mr.. Taft had occasion to place his hand
in the nest Of one Of his sitting hens: but he
withdrew that member in double quick time.
as the head Of large rattle-snake instantly
protuded from underneath the hen The lat
ter without leaving her nest, immediately
made vigorous attack on the head Of the in
truding offender. The snake made a desperate
resistance and the two fought IN most deter
mined manner for about twenty minutes. when
Mr.. Tan put an end TO the struggle by hooking
the snake with his pitchfork. Tho fierce COM
bat ended, the hen quietly settled down upon
her eggs apparently none the worse for the
fight. Her feathers must have saved her from
the venom OF the reptile. As she completed the
process Of incubation and brought forth fine
brood Of chickens.

and vigor of health little thought that before
the present season had passed away, he wonid
be numbered with the dead. He was born in
Denmark in 1888. Had he lived until Novem-
Der be would have been thirty nine years Of
age. He received 4 very finished education At
Paris in Jesuit college. Ever since his arriv-

The RiOtous Grant Gathering in Milan.
MILAN, ILL.,, Sept. 10th.

MILAN Aii., OtPt' 1Otu-
EDITOR OF THE ARGUS MILAN received
visitors Saturday evening last, composed of
Lord Hawley and about one hundred Tan
ner Bummers from Rock Island, Moline and
Bowling. About 9 o'clock Hawley began
bis speech = the same, 1 suppose. which he
delivers everywhere and the Tanners
sought more welcome repast at the saloons
of Geo. Keeler and Wm. Ruge. Not find
ing any persons at those places opposed t.
them politically they began a general de-
bsuch and fl Citing among themselves which
grew TO be so loud and boisterous that the
civilized part of the community were
obliged to close the saloons, when the streets
became so noisy that Lord Hswley was
forced to quit his speaking and call upon
the band TO make the signal for returning
Ii required some two hours or more to gather
the straggiers and rioters together.
Everybody is perfectly disguised with the
Grant denomination, and all say if HHwley
can fad no associates politically but sDch al
visited our tow, it is best TO Dust him, and
give DIR. Truesdsle q hearty support, which
| Black Hawk has determined upon, and will
/ be sure TO do in November.
! If the Grant gatherings generally are
such drunken debsucheries, and utter such
threats of destruction of property as Milan
witnessed Saturday evening, the civilized
community certainly will vote for Greeley
aud reform, and q general expulsion o
Grants officials and put stop to such dis
graceful gatherings. +.

ADVANCE IN Coal The amount of Goa
in the marks. is hardly adequate to the de
mAud, and q rise OF one cent per bushsl is
announced. This increase Of price is part
ly due to the numerous strikes of miners,
and partly to the prevalence of water in the
mines Again, there is large amount of
sickness amongst miners, and this, in part,
must affsc, the price. The recen, strike in
Cleveland is ended, but about half the
men are unable to work. In the Coal Val
ley mines no difficulty has been experienced,
either from water or strikes.
The owners of coal mines have come to
the wise conclusion that it is better to pay
good wages and do all the striking business
themselves, They have bean paying one
dollar per ton for mining, heretofore, but
last Monday the price was increased to one
dollar aud FIVE cen.S-which will make con
siderable difference in the sum total OF the
miners wages.

THE MILAN RIOT.

We have received a short communication
from Milan regarding the riotous conduct OF
the GRANTEES at the HAwley meeting there
last Saturday evening, which will be found
in this paper. In addition to this, several
citizens from Milan have given us details of
the affair which show that there were rows
and fights all about town that the police
had TO get Alex. Ovens, the President of the
town council, out Of bed to help quel the
disturbance; that they we're obliged to close
the saloons that there was not, at any
time, more than 25O or 800 present; that the
best citizens Of the town did not go near the
meeting, If they did why was Alex. Owens
at home 10 bed p that they vould not listen
to the speech Of Hs~ley that when Jack
son was introduced the meeting broke up
and scattered and that the whole affair was
q disgrace to all connected with it. As an
evidence Of the AfsctiOnate regard they had
for each other, aud how lovingly they en-
brAeed, one nan had his lip bitten of
together with piece Of his chsek, 10 6Rht.
He was q shocking sight to look at, cover.
ed with blood, his teeth visible, and the
piece bitten of he had 10 a paper, saying he
would carry i. homo and have bis wife sew
il on. The drunken ruf6ans held the town
