Travis county's vote was the only one
not recognized by Chairman McGar. He
called Cain to the chair and turned the
gavel over to him.
The squat that had been threatening
every moment broke loose in all its fury
at this point. Each manin the room was on
his feet and yelling at the top of his
voice. The Thompson crowd rushed up
to him and boosted him over the railing
en- route to the rostrum, where they in
tended to install him as speaker. Seeing
what was coming, the Statesman re-
ported made dash for the rostrum to
get in the push and be on hand when
Thompson arrived. The reporters de-
sire to get in the push was readily and
very promptly satisfied. Ere he reached
the top step of the rostrum fifty bowling
negroes We're at his heels determined to
keep Thompson off the stand. Approach
ing on the other side was Thompson, with
just as many more bowling humans fol
lowing him. AS Thompson mounted the
stand, where Cain and the Statesman re-
porter were already located, Cain grabbed

killer. While Mrs. lehman was on
her way home from Michael Lynehe's,
she was attacked by a huge black
snake, coming from a small hole in the
ground. Mrs Holman being frightened,
called 10 her husband, who was work
ing a short distance away. August
killed the reptile, however. One more
came up and another one came and so
on they continued until he had dis
patched TO the snake heaven 175. The
situation became desperate, but not
being satisfied with this record, he
concluded TO see where they came
from. After procuring a mattock, he
went to work. About three feet down
he discovered a small cavern winch
seemed TO have a passage way TO a
large den. Shortly a very large black
snake, seemingly the boss. came TO
hold the fort and protruded itself five
feet from the hole aRd not half OF the
snake could be seen. Mr.. Heiman
held his ground and whipped the snake
back into its department. It was now
too late 70 undertake this dangerous
job and he concluded TO wait till morn
ing and take the day for IL. But to
his surprise, when he went back the
next day the snakes had all eloped
Mr. Holman, however, examined the
place and found IL large enough 20
contain 800 OF the reptiles. Those he
killed varied Ia length from one TO
seven feet Mr.. Heiman's nerves were
badly shaken up. but by the aid OF a
smile before breakfast he is now slowly
recovering. GIPsY.
