Phil R. Toll who manufactures boxes

here in the United States district court
today for an injunction against the ex-
employees of his plant to prevent them
from interfering with and intimidating
workmen which he now employees. He
claims that previous to July 2, the tWen-

for injunction were working for him
and that they went on a strike; and
that since that time have interfered
with the new help which he has hired,
to prevent their working in his plant.
On which account he asks the aid of the
court that he may conduct his business
unmolested. This is union and non

IMMUNE TO SNAKE POISON.
A Dog Who Hunts and Fights
Rattlers With Impunity.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Dog fanciers and those who have
lived in the country with a dog for
their friend know that many~of the
CANNES of pure or mixed breed have Il
native antipathy to reptiles and will
attack a snake at every opportunity.
Other dogs are mortally afraid of
snakes and will fee from them in ter
ror. Few persons, however, know thai
a dog can be immune against the poi
son OF snake.
That this Is true is the observat tion
OF Mr.. John w. VI. Kiger, secretary of
the local board of health. who spent
some time last summer in Woppoco-
ma, w. Va. At that place he fell ia
with a dog-a small, common cur, with
long shaggy hair. The dog is n born
fighter, obstinate and pugnacious. He
has been bitten so often by copper
heads and rattlesnakes that he is i'm
mune from their poison, which is dead
ly to many dogs.
This particular dog is the friend OF
sportsmen who visit the locality, ana
he gayly joins them on their excur-
sions. His method of fighting a snake
is simple. The sight, smell or rattle of
a snake puts him ON the aggressive
His sharp, bright eyes follow the rep
tiles movements and he circles nimbly
around for a chance TO nab his prey.
When he sees an opening there is a
sudden spring, a quick swapping OF his
sharp teeth In the back or near the
back OF the head. and sharp, strong
jerk lifts the snake from the ground
and prevents it's striking. Soon the
battle is over and the snake is dead
A short yelp of triumph announces
the victory, and the dog is off for an
other battle II 1t should come his way.
asionslly the dog miscalculates his
leap upon the snake and It eludes him.
Then before he can get away he is
bitten. A yelp of pain escapes him
when struck by the rattler. but he does
not give up until the snake is dead.
Few escape him. After the battle he
licks his wound and no III effect re-
suits from II.
