Snake Bite Fatal,

ABERDEEN, O., Aug. s.-Jamss Rob.
inson, aged II years, living near Neil's
store, Pike township, died from what
was supposed to be snake bite. He
was stripping willows the first of the
week, and felt singing sensation be-
low the knee. He went home and told
his mother. who began treating it for
bee sting. This did not relieve his suf-
fering, and a physician was called but
could do nothing. The leg swelled to
an abnormal size, and the ply ysician is
of the opinion that he was bitten by a
rperhead snake.

Loss to Ohio Sheriff.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. s.-Senator
Cromley claims that through n mis-
take OF the enrolling clerks in the re-
cent legislature the sheriffs of the
state are getting the worst of it A
bill was introduced regulating the re-
muneration allowed sherffs for taking
insane patients to asylums, and was
amended to allow them ten cents a
mile. Later this was changed to FIVE
cents mile, and still later it was re-
amended and ten cents mile allowed.

with the procession, however and the
law appears printed with five cents a
