simply an old runt, says the Ophidian
Record.
Jake" Wood is the best known
snake-catcher in the neighborhood of
SWartswood. He has brought in any
number of pilots, black snakes and
dangerous rattlers, and he plays with
the latter as carelessly as though they
were of the harmless water snake
species. This particular snake has
seven rattles on the end of his tail,
and five more lie in one corner of vic"
Rosencrans' case, and thereon hangs
this tale.
Jake" and "Jim' Smith had been
out after a woodchuck, but, not being
able to dig or smoke him out, were re-
turing home in ill-humor when Jake"
discovered the old and decrepit RATHER
asleep at full length in an open field.
So quiet did he lie that Jake" at first
! thought he was dead. But the mouth
was closed, and a dead snakes fangs
generally extend
See me get rattle off his TAIL" said
Jake" and he went to a hedge and cut
boots, he approached the snake as care
| fully as possible, and got in position to
begin operations without alarming his
snakeship. Then grasping the rattles
with his right hand he squeezed off the
last rattle with his thumb and fore
finger, at the same time striving to pin
the snakes head down under the
CT Wi &C. Oof%
The old snake woke up much quicker
than it takes to tell it, and, as "Jake's''
left hand had not acted as quickly as
his right, the head was raised and
swung back in position to strike before
the prongs had done their work. In an
instant the fangs were struck against
| the stick, and Jake" got to a safe dis
lance unframed. Jake" is used to sur
prises, but not to missing snake s

angry snake, and at the first attempt
landed the prongs on the snakes neck

SCRANTON Is BEATEN.
PottsviIlc Champions of the State League
Whip Us Yesterday IA TO 8-Barnie Is
Working Ills Men Slowly.

Scranton went down yesterday before
the Pottsville champions of last years
state league. The score was IA ana g.
The explanation Is told In the hit and
errors columns. 1t Is gamblers luck
however, and sensible admirers of the
home team will not grumbe and kick
against the pricks because we cannot
win all of the first practice games.
At various times during the several
weeks preceding the opening of the
season Billy Barnie gave his reasons
for not playing the first few games at
home. He remarked that he would
compel his men to work slowly in the
beginning and predicted more defeats
than victories. In this he showed his
eagle eye. He realized that at home
the players would overwork themselves,
being fearful of criticism II they stuck
to slow gait-level headed Barnie;
he's all right.
No fault can reasonably be found
with the slow playing in the first three
games. 1t simply argues that the men
are being gradually worked into condi-
ton, and will give Il good account of
themselves when the season opens in
earnest

the game we'll in hand from the start
and batted Delaney and Fox very free

MURDER WAS COMMITTED
COroner's Jury So Decides in the
Dickson City Case.
THE MARKS UPON THE THROAT
PutrcfactiOn Had Proceeded Further
There Than on Any Other Part OF tho
BOdy-Mnn Has Been Missing from
Priccburg Boarding House.

Developments In the case OF the de-
composed body of the man discovered
in u culvert by boys at Dickson city
Thursday morning appear to estabiish
fully that death resulted from Violence
and from the only meagre facts at hand
it Is probable that murder has been
committed.
When Coroner j. A. Kelley empaneled
n jury and viewed the remains on
Thursday, he did not begin then to hold
n post-mortem examination, because
the body was so badly decomposed and
besmeared with the murky mud OF the
culvert that 1t had to be first washed
and cleaned. At 3 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon the coroner arrived at Under
taker Jones' morgue in Olyphant, and
the Jury being present an autopsy was
held.
There was no trace on any of the
vital organs found that would show
how death had resulted and from what
cause. one fact was very clearly es-
tablshed, that the man was not
drowned. On the throat putrefaction
had proceeded further than on any other
part Of the body, and this was taken as
an evidence of violence.
The coroner stated to the jury that
the marks on the throat might be taken
as pretty sure evidence that violence
caused death, and their verdict was
rendered accordingly. No one could be
found who had any knowledge of the
identity of the dead man, and the only
witnesses sworn were those who testi-
fed regarding the finding of the body.
Coroner Kelley ordered Undertaken
Jones to inter the remains.
Constable Jesse Morris, of Dickson
City, informed the coroner that he
heard something of a rumor that man
had disappeared three weeks ago from
a Priceburg boarding house. The con-
stable did not know the name of the
man who ran the boarding house nor
the name of the man VINO disappeared.
The coroner said that the decomposi-
tion Of the body would correspond with
the time that the man is said to have
been missing.
County Detective Thomas Leyshon
was notified and is now working ON the
case.

The efforts which are being made to
catch the chicken thieves who have
been operating here for some years are
becoming successful. About four weeks
ago some one stole two game rOosters
from James Smith. of Arthur street.
He heard of a cooking main at the
Notch a night or two afterwards and,
on going there, found his birds in the
ring. Making inquiries he found that
they were taken there by John Con-
molly and Michael Haggerty, who, on
being asked about 1t, admitted having
taken the birds. They We're assisted,
they said, by William Burns. He had
them arrested and last night Alderman
Roberts held them under $500 bail. In
default of which Haggerty and Burns
were committed to the county jail. Con-
molly and Haggerty are the two young
boys who were arrested about six weeks
ago at the instance Of Thomas Simms
for stealing a rooster.
