THAT sNAKE.-Lee Raedel, an employe at
ThurstOns book blndery, third floor of Cassilly's
block, has pet snake Of a harmless class, over
two feet long, which he keeps in box at the bin
derry, and occasionally takes out and fondles
coiliAg 1t about his neck and performing all
kinds of side show tricks The snake seems to
know him as a dog does its master, but becomes
offended at the touch or near approach of stran
ger. The other day George Platner-everybody
knows George, harmless charaCter-walking
and talking, or any other exertion on his part re-
quires great effort. Well, George visited the
bindery and in the course Of his prying about
Lee took out his pet and went toward George, and
when close to the latter showed the snake, which,
seeing stranger so near, opened its mouth, dart
ed out its fangs and seemed greatly excited. Just
then the employees at the bindery saw coat tail
shoot out the door and heard footsteps going
down two flights of stairs, four steps at jump
nor did he stop when he reached the sidewalk
but hastened around the corner and down Tusca-
rawas street some distance We have enquired
carefully into Georges record and find that the
last time, previous to this, that he was known to
get out Of slow walk, was nineteen years ago
last July when he called the wrong boy liar.

SHERIFF RAUCH AND JoNEs.-As some unscru.
pulOus and ignorant ranter who does a due pro-
portion of the dirty work for the Republican
party has been circulating untruthful reports in
reference to the escape of Charley Jones from our
county jail, and has neglected in connection
herewith to mention his recapture and subse
quent delivery at the State penitentiary, we feel
1t proper to say this much; that the fault Of
Jones escape was not due In the least to Sheriff
RauChs neglect or carelessness, but wholly TO the
shoddy workmanship of the contractors who re-
ceiyed their award through Republican officials.
Butthe matter didn't end with Jones's escape, did
ii? Not much, though Jones, who was one of the
most notorious offenders In northern Ohio, known
widely in Cleveland Akron, Canton and other
cities escaped to Canada, assisted by cunning &C.
completes, he had not long there to remain.
With all the difficulties and tedious delays of the
extradition process with its red tape, our Sheriff
had him back before the court in comparative.

sHoT.-Charles sonier was shot in the railroad
yard last night under the following circumstan-
ces. Ross Hamlin has been employed of late in
the yard of nights to watch the cars, and last
night as he was on duty sonier met him and &C.
cused him of saying that he (sonier) had been
stealing goods from the cars, Hamlin denied it
and called sonier a liar, Hot worGs ensued and
finally Hamlin drew his revolver and shot sonier
near the center of his breast the ball glancing up
the collar bone and lodging in the left shoulder,
sonier is about o.day but the ball has not yet
been extracted and the wound will likely prove
very painful though not serious. Hamlin is not

DIDN'T sCARE-Last Saturday morning about
two o'clock crowd of young fellows, among
whom, we are sorry to say was policeman, ar
rayed themselves in hideous masquerade cos
tunes, and proceeding to the st. Cloud, attempted
to frighten the young fellow on night watch in

Markovitz. The fact that they failed to frighten
him and received thorough berating for their
folly gives the affair proper turn, as such things
with some young men, might have produced a
more serious result.

There has been great deal of dissatisfaction
expressed about the new registry law, and 1t is
feared a large number who should have regis

all right anyhow. We are acquainted with some
OF our older citizens who have voted in town
more years than are required to constitute ma

law to register 1t is not our place to say whether
the law is good one or not but we all know 1t
to be a law.
