A GREAT SNAKE
FOUND BY MINERS,
A Petrified Monster Unearthed at KIonik Silver
Creek "Diggins."

A petrified snake of great size was
found by miners at Silver Greek last
week. The story of the discovery Is
told as follows by the Wadsworth
Banner:
1t is not an uncommon thing for
curiosities to be brought to the sur
face from the bowels of the earth
hereabouts, for it we'll known that
in all coal mines some peculiar form
ations are found, such as branches
of trees, fern leaves and other traces
Of vegetation, but on Wednesday the
boys up at the Klondyke mine at
Silver Creek went one better than
this and brought out a huge snake,
but he was harmless. He belonged
to the ossified species, that is, his

Bud Howard is extensively mad.

Bud Howard is extensively mad.
Just as if Il years incarceration in
the penitentiary were not enough for
his cup of bitterness, what should
Fate do but pour in another allow
ance of woe more bitter than the first,
for good measure! Whereas the first
potion was but little more to Bud than
Inconvenience, the second preys upon
his heart, his vanity and peace OF
mind.
1t is a matter Of local history, known
well enough to make a long descrip-
tion unnecessary, that Bud, while
standing near the Atlantic Garden one
night, in August, 1900, drew revolver
and fired at a citizen--the act then and
there being unseemly under the stat
ute in such case made and provided,
and withal a most vicious assault on
the majesty Of the law; that this de-
liberation in all its enOrmity was not
ed by the guardians of the peace and
the strong arm Of the law enfolded
swiftly and firmly about the person Of
the luckless Bud, who in due course
of time was consigned to the peniten
tiary for one year.
His sentence was viewed by Bud IN
q practical manner. He knew that dur
ing his absence he could not support
his wife and child. Bud was not born
yesterday. While thus soliloquizing,
happy thought struck him. He has
since been struck by other things. he
recalled that VIM. Edwards, another
negro, claimed to be his friend, and he
also recalled that William was room
ing at his house at the time the unfor-
tunate affair causing his trouble took
place. From time to time, he had
been informed that William was still
at the house, and before leaving for
Columbus. so the story goes, he sent
for him and requested a favor. This

President. At that time his company
had not commenced operations at all,

favor was that William continue to
st, and see to 1t personally that Mrs.
Howard and the baby were cared for,
the rent paid and no other bills allow
ed to accumulate.
1t is claimed further that William
agreed to this arrangement, and that
Bud went on his journey to Columbus
with light heart and the sheriff.
Thoughts of happy home coming,
when his wife would throw "bofe her
chubby arms around him and kiss him
good and sweet" while the baby
crowed and clapped its hands with
delight at seeing papa, made the stay
in the penitentiary seem longer but
helped to while away the unhappy
hours.
A week ago, however, Bud landed
home to find his greeting had been
arranged in a different manner. In
stead of his wife's being here he found
that she was living with her people
at Wadsworth, and that William was
there, too. He Immediately put out
for Wadsworth to investigate and to
visit his people who also live in that
village.
The result of the investigation was
not happy, as implied by the story he
told Mrs. Mary Collins, now living at
205 N. High st. He told her that his
wife had declined to live with him.

and that she had also refused to al
low him to take the child.
Here the story ends rather abruptly,
as Bud has taken no action in the mat
ter, nor has he as vet thrashed Will
liam, as he contemplates doing. 1t is
said. To Mrs. Collins he stated that
he would return to Akron and live
quietly The affair, however, has af-
fected him greatly. He looks haggard,
and has lost much of the old time
buoyancy so characteristic of him be-
fore he went to Columbus.

1t is a profound fact that most ails
of humanity come from improper and

A change to perfectly cooked, pre-

A Pound For
Rubber Scrap.
That Used d. to. to be be the
y. Price.
It Has Increased Somewhat In
II Years.

The increased value Of old rubber, or
rubber scrap is made emphatic when
one recalls that, not a great many
years ago, peddlers paid half cent
pound for worn-out boots and shoes
or even refused to buy them, prefer
ring old iron at the same price, be-
cause the same weight was secured
with less bulk and the profit was just
as large.
The oldest rubber scrap house is said
to be in New York. The firm has
been in business-the rubber business
about 80 years.
In 1874 this house bought old rub
bers at a cent pound and sold
them at ~ cent. Today its dealings
in rubber scrap of all kinds, domes-
tic and foreign, are on an extensive
scale. The firm occupies the whole
of large five story building, con-
veniently located to transportation on
the East river. Throughout the build
ing exists thoroughness of system,
the result Of long experience, which
permits Of the most expeditions and
economical handling Of the enormous
collection of waste products daily az
irving, and for asserting them and
converting them into merchantable
commodities of higher grade. The
rubber scrap department occupies
series of rooms entirely apart from
the other lines handled, and alone
constitutes an important business.
The price has grown from less than
q cent a pound to &c to Sc, and every
particle of cast-off rubber is eagerly
bought.
In the East one of the most promi-
nent names in the rubber business
is that of Alden. The Aldens appear
as manufacturers and as importers Of
rubber. The family has been in the
business many years. 1t has been
supposed by many that Mr.. l. c. AL
den, of the Alden Rubber Co., and
other local industries, is of the same
family, such however, is not the
case.
