One of the largest black snakes seen
in this part of the country for years was
killed on Monday by p. NJ. Sweeney, of
town, at Peter Timony's farm in Sandy
valley. During the past four years Mr..
Sweeney had seen this monster at differ
ent times in the meadow field, and two
years ago when he killed one feet 9
inches, and last year another about 6
feet, he was quite positive that the
large reptile was killed. On Monday he
took the moving machine into the field
to make hay. lie had scarcely made
one round of the field when he saw
about three feet of the monster above
the uncut hay gliding across the meadow
at rapid speed.
AT times it would go down, then ap-
pear again, and finally Mr.. Sweeney
lost sight of it. When on the fourth
round of the field the knives of the
machine struck something. In an in
slant there was whir and the head and
portion of the reptile raised in the air
nearly five feet. Though somewhat
frightened Mr.. Sweeney stopped the
team, went back and found the snake
cut in three pieces. He placed the parts
together and found that the monster
measured 8 feet 10 inches in length and
was about three inches thick. 1t can be
viewed at Mr.. Timony's farm by any
one wishing to see it.

No One Will Take the job.

Centraia is a town without tax col
lector. Both the town council and the
school board have combined their efforts
to secure collector, but no one wants
the job, and it is believed that 10 per
cent commission will have to be allowed
before a collector can be obtained. In
the meantime the borough treasury is
depleted and the officials are in guam
dry.

Special to the Globe.
q HINcKLEY, Sept. 5.-Cruising parties
left here todayfor the woods to carry on
"a systematic search for bodies. and to
see what became of the lumber camps.
They will bury such dead as are found
without bringing them here. 1t is very
likely that number of bodies will be
found. The parties will not re turn for
some days. as they have taken
camping outfits with them They want
10 ascertain what damage has been done
to timber, and to arrange for the OPEN
ing of camps and roads for the work of
cutting timber during the winter. 1t is
probable that large quantity of timber
will be cut this winter to save trees that
have been damaged by fire. If the trees
stand until next summer they will be
damaged by being worm eaten.
Occasional stories of new horrors are
being told here. One of the most hor-
rible was that told by man who came
from the woods today. He said he saw
a wolf eating at something. and coming
closer the animal fled, and he discov.
cred it to be the burned body of a man.
He said that he found the bones and
part OF the flesh of two others that had
doubtless been eaten by wolves. One
of these was probably woman, as the
steels Of corset were found near by.
Louis Matz reported that he saw the
bodies of nine victims along the road
seven miles east of Sandstone Junction.
Joseph Atmsburger. farmer eight
miles west of Hinckiey, is one of The
men who wants to rebuild. A few
weeks ago he lost his shack by fire and
had rebuilt it, only to have il DESTROYED
again last Saturday. He lived with his
wife on q homestead. When he saw the
fire approaching he and his wife took
some OF their goods in wagon and
drove mile away to LOmbert's lumber
camp, which was protected by having
been burned around before.
There will be a general memorial
service held at Pine City Sunday. Ar.
rahgements to that end are being made
by the committees. 1t has been thought
better to have such service here, owing
to the fact that the people make il their
stopping place at night. 1t is deemed
advisable to have such service before
more Of the people scatter. The clergy
of ST. Paul, Duluth and Minneapolis
will be represented at the services, and
the ceremonies will he conducted on an
extensive scale.
There Is talk of erecting q memorial
tablet at the Hinckley Lutheran ceme-
terry, where so many bodies have been
inferred. 1t has been only suggested
yet. but 1t may be carried into effect,

DULUTH DolNu HER DUTY.
Tho Zenith City i1ustling Night
and Day,

DULUTH, Sept. 5.-Much surprise has
been expressed by ths people OF Duluth
at the reports published in Eastern
papers received here regarding the
work OF relief that has been carried on
here for. the sufferers by tho Hinckiey
fire. While columns have besn pub.
lished about the work done at other
places, that undertaken here so
promptly has been almost ignored, aud
10 read the reports il would be thought
that people here were not at the front.
The fact is that Saturday evening,
within three hours after the catastrophe,
word of which had To bs brought sew
eral miles before wire could DO had to
send news. Duluth had a relief train
out. and before midnight men
from here were fighting their way
down the tracks Within six
miles of HinckIey. fairly opening
road to get there, ch0pping,
building bridges ana all that. By mid
night there were over 800 refugees
here. aud before daylight 100 more.
Saturday night the men and women of
Duluth we're out at work feeding and
housing the afflicted. many Of whom
were cared for in the most palatial
homes of the city. and the contributions
of money rolled ill., Esrly Sunday
morning relief quarters were opened,
and mass meeting of 900 citizens had
selected the general relief committee.
The whole city has been engaged in the
work to the exclusion Of almost every
thing else. s;
One great work carried on from here
is that BY picked companies OF old wood
explorers. who have pierced into every
place possible in the stricken district,
and II is the work of these men that
: the best idea of the necessity of the peo-
pie Is gained. Now LOO refugees are
being cared for here, and over 100 more
temporarily cared for in Superior, will
come here ill the morning. Over $l5, 600
cash has been raised and thousands in
merchandise contributed. From all that
eau be gathered, at least 1000 people
will have to be helped back to their
homes, houses built and furnished, and
supplies given for long time to come.
Duluth will care for some time for
the hundreds here and assist in the per.
lnanent relief to be given later on. 1t
is probable that 5000, 900 will be needed
to do all that is necessary. 1t is raising
part of that money for she
starting of new homes for the
sufferers, and caring for them
until they can again start their work.
But any outside money that may be
offered will assist. If people III places
outside the state offer help, it shou Id be
sent to the mayors Of Duluth, st. Paul
and Minneapolis, where the general
funds are being raised, and where the
work is directed.
