Calvin Bell and McAllisier Myton, of
Blair Co, held Judgment notes against
Henry Davis, Jr., for 81 0l9 and 81, 1926 re-
spectiyely. Dsvis's real estate was sl-
ready encamUered, so it Was said, and in
the hope that an execution against his per
sonal property might satisfy one claim,
Myton and Bell both boarded the same
tram and went to Huntingdon, each armed
with Judgement note.
Bell is aged and Myton is about 45.
From the station Myton led, with Bell lag
ging and crying, stop him!" A big crowd
attracted cried, "Stop thief" Policeman
Rohland, supposing Myton a fagitive
stopped him with revolver, while Bell
took the lead and got his Judgement on
record in the prothonotary office before

The New Castle liar is at il again and
sends the following to a Ptttsburg paper
Miss Eliza Jardener is the name of a
young women who resides near Fombell,
a small station on the Pittsburg d. West
ern railroad, whose hair has developed
the remarkable faculty of turning into
serpents. She has a remarkable head of
hair. 1t is black in color, quite long, and
very coarse About two months ago Miss
Jardenar discovered that if some of her
hair was placed in C. vessel Of water and
permitted to remain without being disturb
ed it would, in from seven to ten days,
turn into living reptile. She has been
experimenting in this way for some time.
A day or two ago Dawson Newell, a
-a1I l~,r al ~f
Castle was at Fombell, and while in the
solitary store of the town saw score or
more Of bottles containing from one to a
aozen of these snakes. The reptiles We're
all once attached to Miss Jardenar's head.
Newell bought bottled snake and took
il to New Castle, where it was placed on
exhibition. 1t resembles a hair in appear
ance, excepting that it has slightly gray
ish color. 1t shows great activity and
when placed in an open vessel swims
around at lively rate
1t was placed under magnifying glass
ard proved to be a horrible looking Great
ure. The glass shows the reptile to have
a long pointed mouth, with horns on its
head and hair OF its back. Its tail is
shaped like |. dart. The snakes live and
thrive. One having been active for moro
than a month. This is the first one that
Miss Jardenar discovered in her wsshbowl.
Her case has been talked about in the
neighborE ood where she lives and it has
caused her TO become exceedingly sensi-
tive over the matter. Her people are are
farmers, however, and they are trying ito
persuade her to hcve her hair serpents ex-
hibiten in museums. Physicians who
have been talked to about the case claim
that it is not uncommon for the hair of
horses to turn into hair snakes, but they
agree they never heard of human hair that
was built that way.
