gene where the woOdbine twIneth. Moth |
ing was heard from him Wednesday, and |

rueHced proceedings TO collect claims against |
him. A number Of claims 6ggregating sew
eraf hundred dollars came to light. A num-
Der of garnishments were served on Judge |

ing, as the county owes Boyd nothing. IC |

account Of a terrible battle he had with two |

He, with several companions, was engaged |

den, and in passing q dump Of golden rod
he heard an ominous Kissing Upon looking
down he discovered an enormous rattle
snake in the grass al his feet, coiled, aud in
the act of striking. Mr.. Baker sprang back
out Of the way Just in time to escape bite
from the deadly fangs, and grasping long
pole, attacked the snake with it. After a
hard fought bsttle he succeeded in killing
the reptile, but had scarcely done so before
another. almost as large as the first, glided
out Of the grass and coiled itself for a
spring. By this time Mr.. Bakers compan-
ions had come to his assistance and rattler
number two was also dispatched. One Of
the snakes was 6 feet inches long, and
Is inches in circumference at the thickest
part of It's body.
Senator Persons OF the Twenty fifth dis
trict has introduced bill! for first reading
in the Senate which, If it had been passed
twelve months ago, would have prevented
the long imprisonment of Steve Ryan, who
would to-day be at liberty among his fell
lows. But in the opinion of an able lawyer,
the passage OF the bill at the present ses-
sion of the legislature would not release
Ryan, because then it would be an ex post
10 iu mi oil ynI Nv El,s,
constitution Of the United States. The gist
of the bill is that it prevents the pun
ishment of persons guilty OF contempt
of court except for actual personal misbe-
havfor in or near the court room, and
the bill provides that the Withholding Of
money which is denied as being in the Gus
tody of a person. shall not subject that per-
son to imprisonment for contempt. From a
perusal Of the bill one concludes thar the
bill is founded entirely upon the Ryan case,
forit says: THE order or decree of the
court to pay over the money and the defend
dant's denial that he has the custody or con-
troll CT said money shall make the issue to
be tried by jury. In other words Mr.
Persons thinks that Judge Marshall Clarke
IL wrong in imprisoning Ryan, and wants
60 prevent anything Of the kind in the
future.

affair. AS they passed Lloyd street one Of
the negroes leaped from a dark doorway
and stabbed the nearest OF the party in the
back. Then be took to his heels and es-
capped. The wounded man was H. G. Flad-

wounds. Then the negroes were held until
an officer came up In the hope thai they
would give the name Of the negro who had
