CHARMED BY A SNAKE.

rFrom the Lewiston Evening Journal
Bar HarbOr, Me, July 1.-COl. E. w.
Bass of West Point and party of la
dies who are spending the summer at
Bar HarbOr were enjoying an after
noon at Schooner Head the other day,
when one of the ladies suddenly called
the attention of another lady in the
party to a big snake directly behind
her.
The latter, glancing over her shoulder
saw the creature, and fairly looked the
viper full in its eyes. The snake was
fully four feet long and two inches or
more through and was of a brOwniSh
color with white circles or rings on its
back from head to the tip of tail.
She says that the snake was a most
lovely creature to look at, and that,
though she is invariably afraid of
snakes, her fear vanished the instant
she beheld it. Instead of running away
from it, as her companion did, she says
that she was instantly fascinated by
the snake, both by its beauty and the
understandable something in its eyes
which seemed to hold her transfixed to
the spot as soon as she beheld it.
Circling stealthi1y and wavelilxe about
her, never once taking its eyes from
hers, the snake lifted itself up like a
spiral, with it's head poised nearly two
feet from the ground, and held the wO-
man motiOnless in its charm This it
repeated for a. second time, coming still
nearer to her before Col. Bass came
running back to her assistance. Seeing
the danger lHe Iduy was III, the COloHeA
picked up a large stick and began a
savage attack upon the serpent Though
he struck it several terrific blows, Col.
Bass was unable to kill the charmer,
and the snake finally slipped noiseIessly
away and became lost to view in the
thick underground It was some mo-
ments before the lady wholly recovered
from the spell and began to realize
the great danger she had been in. She
is sure that the snake meant to do her
lnjury and was charming her for that
purpose.
The snake was the largest ever seen
on the island and unlike the other
thinks it was a large adder and regrets
now that he did not succeed in killing
the creature

BAR ROOM FIGHT.
One Man Almost Killed and Several
Injured.

A free for all fight took place Tuesday
afternoon in the bar room in the rear OF
Larry Sheehan's Clipper restaurant on
East Sixth street and as a result George
PeytOn is not expected to live
No one knows how the fight started
and it was probably a drunken braWl
in which the contestants mixed ind1s-
criminately in their endeaVOrS to 1nJure
someone else. The fight occurred about
six O'Clock. The room where the bar
is located is in the rear of the restaurant
and a few step higher than the front
part of the building. The room is large
and was well filled with men when the
brawl started. The crowd had been
drinking there all the afternoon and
was well under the influence of liquor.
The fight started suddenly, according
to the stories told by eye witnesses, and
most of the persons in the room ran
out as soon as the trouble commenced.
Philip Mayer, who formerly played ball
here, struck George PeytOn on his head
with a heavy iron cuspidor crushing his
skull. He was removed to Stormont
hospital and is in a precarious condi-
ton.
Mayer was struck on the wrist by
beer mug. The mug was broken and the
cords and arteries of the arm were
severed.
William Lawless struck a man on the
side of his head and the force of the
blow broke two of his fingers. He says
he was trying to stop the fight.
Mike Kelly, the bartender of the
place, interfered and tried to quell the
disturbance. He was struck in the
mouth and several teeth loosened.
The other parties in the room at the
time and more or less mixed up in the
trouble were Fred Ogden, James Nc
Givern, Mike Waggoner, jr., William
Miller and H. Beedy.
Larry Sheehan, the proprietor of the
place, was out of town when the fight
occurred.
The fight occurred just as the day
and night forces of police were chang
ing beats and it was not until the fight
was over that the officers heard of it.
Owing to the noise of firecrackers the
officers on their beats did not hear the
trouble. When it was reported at police
station Sergeant Donovan went at once
to the scene of the trouble and ordered
that the place be closed.
He could learn nothing about the fight
as no one wOuli give him any informal
ton and he was told by the bartender
that no one was hurt. Today Chief
Ramsey visited the place and said that
if the joint was opened again he would
pull the whole outfit without a warrant
or anything else Arrests will probably
follow as soon as the officers are able to
find out who the offenders are.
Another fight occurred in a pawn
shop run by ex-Policeman Watts on
Kansas avenue between Second and
Third streets. There is a joint in the
rear of the pawn shop and some who
saw the fight say it started there but
Watts says it was a dispute over the
payment of interest on pawn ticket.

ISLAND GOVERNMENTS
To Be Established Without Waiting
For Congress.

Washington, July 5.-Since the order
of the president continuing the legal
existence of the insular commission, the
members have been busily engaged in
preparing a code of laws to take the
place of the Spanish statutes. The best
legal advice the commissioners have
been able to obtain supports their own
view that such a new code can be legal
~ adopted by the military government
of the island with the sanction of the
president and without awaiting the &C
ton of congress. Such a step would
give the islanders the advantage of
modern laws under which the regenera-
ton Of the island could be carried on by
Its military governor as long as was
desirable before raising the question of
Porto RicO's admission to actual terri
tOrial rights. 1t is considered probable
that large part at least of the new
code of laws being formulated by the
commission will be adopted and put in
