Fighting u Viper

Darlington Journal: Andrew REM
frey had an experience last Wednes-
day which he will remember with a
shudder as long as he remains dwell
er in this vale of tears He was re-
turning to his home in Willow Springs
from Mineral Point, where he and his
family had been visiting. About two
miles this side of the city his wife
exclaimed: ..See that horrible shaker
aad sure enough, there was big
black paff adder six feet long and
thick as a child's arm right in the
middle of the road. Andrew stopped
his team and alighted from his buggy,
the viper glided into the weeds on the
roadside, where Andrew jumped upon
it with both feet. expecting to crush it
but was Mortified when the reptile
quick as lightning darted up its ugly
head and with mouth open fully six
inches made dash at his face. but
failed to reach it because the man had
broken the snakes bones in the mid
die Of its body when he jumped upon
it.
The viper then made repeated bites
at Andrews leg. while the man kept
himself extremely busy kicking. He
was nearly thrown down two or three
times by the coiling Of the serpent
around his legs, and each time felt
sorry that he didn't have a $50, 900 life
insurance for the benefit Of his fami-
ly
Finally, after struggle lasting fif-
teen minutes, Remfrey hit the viper
a tremendous kick in the mouth
which disabled it, and he then crush
ed the viper's head as flat as pancake.
The puff adder is vicious and dan
gerous serpent, which is said to puff
itself up and then blow poisonous
slime with great force at an enemy.
In this case the adder's putting appar-
atus was knocked out of order by Mr..
Remfrey's first jump, or the man
might have died instead of the snake.
Andrew says if he lives thousand
years he will not tackle another snake
without club, or something.

Caucus at BoscobeI.

Saturday evening the republican
electors of Boscobel met at Ruka's
opera house and elected delegates to
attend the county convention to be
held in Lancaster Thursday, Aug, 27.
There were 227 votes in the caucus
which evidenced that full vote was
out as the republicans of Boscobel cast
2lS votes for governor in 1894. There
was no opposition to Mr.. Jud P.
Walker securing delegation for
sheriff and motion was made that
he be allowed to select his own dele
gates who would receive the unani-
nous ratification of the caucus.
Messrs. Howe, Palmer and Blanch-
ard were each trying to secure a del
egation for himself that would press
his nomination for district attorney.
The motion allowing Walker to select
his own delegation looked dangerous
for some Of the would-be district
attorneys and it raised a storm that
could not be quieted until it was finally
decided to allow the people present to
express directly their preference Of
the three attorneys in strife.
Four ballots were taken for district
attorney the first of which resulted as
follows: Blanchard 80. Howe 90,
Palmer 81 At the end OF the third
ballot Mr.. Blanchard withdrew from
the contest and the fourth ballot re-
suited: Palmer 90, Howe 81.
The following delegates were then
named by Walker and Howe to the
county convention; John d. Wilson.
L. B. Ruka, W. I. Hurd, J. b. Kicks.
A. L. Dennis, Hugh Mathews. John
Scheinptlug.
In Messrs. Wakes and Howe Bos-
cobel will present to the county con-
vention candidates worthy of the best
consideration that can be given them.
Boscobel is likely to get something
this time.

EnterprIsing Fair management

Since the organization of the Min
eral Point Fair Association nearly 40
years ago, it has never failed to hold
an annual exhibit, or to pay all pre-
miums and demands in full. In those
years many competitors have come and
gone, while others have had seasons
of dormancy. Unfavorable weat her,
crop failures and dull times have been
met and outlived by the Mineral Point
Fair. Its premium list has never
been scaled, whether rain drenched or
drouth parched The people who
have made this record are not all now

IDENTIFY still active and in control Of
the present management of the Min
eral Point Fair. Dispute many dis
couragements, it was resolved to make
new and extensive improvements for
the fair of 1896: and it has been done
at an expense of nearly 81, 600. New
sheds for horses, cattle, sheep and hogs
have been built; the race track has
been remodeled, the home stretch
changed from south to north side Of
the field the whole widened and level
ed. until it is admitted by horsemen
to be as speedy as any half mile course
in the state; new amphitheater IS
being erected, 30x150 feet; where
POO people can be comfortably seat
ed. having rests for their backs and
feet, shielded from sunshine or rain,
and from whence every guest can see
the horses at all points on the course;
the grounds have been graded to the
best advantage for beauty and conyen-
fence. So radical and extensive are
the changes and improvements, that
old habitues Of the fair will scarcely
recognize the place. For thesc ming
fair, sept. 80, 10 and II. more liberal
premiums and purses are offered than
ever before, and more than usual
attractions are provided. yet the price
