is that of huge snake, 135 feet of
which are coiled in stone on top of
the ground. The folds of the snake
range from twelve to eighteen inches
in thickness. Mr.. Aggers has been be-

There are inaccuracies in the
above. The facts are these:
Frank White was employed by
W. ii. Ritchic and J. NJ. Proctor
last fall to 90 to Africa with a
shipment of mules and dispose of
them to the best advantage. Rev.
Robt. White, formerly pastor of
the Methodist church here, later of
Paris, Mo-, secured these gentle
men against loss by giving them
notes, etc. Frank landed in Africa
all right and sold the mules but he
forgot to send any money back and
us we understand it his father gave
up everything he had in order to
pay Mcssrs. Ritchic and Proctor.
Rev. White has sent his son, Rev.
V. o. White, of st. Joseph, to At
rica hoping to get Frank to give
him the money he collected on the
sale of the mules. II is Il mistake
about Frank White disappearing or
being in II Bocr prison. When K.
Il. Hall was over there II few weeks
ago he met and convel'sed with
Frank White at least Il dozen times
Frank was then in partnership with
two men who were buying native
horses aud selling them to the gov

Frank White has treated his ia

that Rev. White secured MeSsrs,
Ritchic and Proctor of Sturgeon
they would have long since brought
