Druaqed and Robbed.

Our usually quiet city was thrown
into fever of excitement Thursday
evening when it was announced that an
act of violence had been committed
which might have proven fatal, and
M ore especially when the report gained
credence that deadly drug had been
used in the performance of the fendish
act. Milt Hatton, of Hamburg, and
John Williams, WHO works for Joe Irwin
some seven miles north of town, were
together and it is supposed that Hatton
was trying to sell horse to Williams, as
they came to Reade's barn and engaged
buggy and harness SO as to hitch the
horses together. This being done, they
drove about town for some time, return
ing to the barn about s o'clock, when
Hatton called for his rig Ia single
buggy and departed for Hamburg.
Williams became very sick and lay down
on the bed in the office of the barn and
was to all intents and purposes dead
the world, and remained in that con-
dition until the liverymen, Ross Nix
and John Sumpter, came into the office
and tried to arouse him. 1t was soon
discovered that his condition was ex-
tremely grave and DR.. Morris was SUM-
moned, who treated the case as one
wherein laudanum had been given ex.
cessively.
1t was some time before encouraging
symptoms were manifested, but by
scientific treatment and persistent effort
he began to recover slightly and when
able told the story of how he happened
to be the victim of such criminal act.
He said that Hatton offered to him a
half pint bottle that contained about
two inches in depth of whiskey saying
for him (Williams) to drink all of it and
then he (Hatton) produced pint bot
tie from which he drank. Williams
soon lost consciousness and claims that
during the short interval that be was
with Hatton after drinking he lost $50
all in bills that he had in his vest
pocket. The grand jury, which was in
session, took the matter up and found a
bill against Hatton, consequently Sher-
if Dixon drove 10 Hamburg Monday
morning and placing Hatton under
arrest, brought him to Sidney and lodg.
ed him in jail. Two indictments were
found against Gim-one for the shoot.

The Payne law with reference to the

out In Franklin county and in the ad

Of the Hampton Chronicle yesterday.
The supervisors in Franklin county are
in favor of the law and the people gen.
orally are strongly favorable to it. The
measure is a good one, although the
newspaper men Of the state did not
urge it before the last general ssembly,
lest it might be said they were interest.
ed in it for the sake Of the printing.
The agitation for the repeal of the law
and against the measure, as | under.

are carrying out the law and it is work

One Of the most curious and most

rhlnoceros adder because, like the rhi-
noceros, it is equipped with two small
horns or tusks and its home is in Fan
zibar, Mozambique, German East Africa
and the country on the western coast Of
Africa from Liberia in the north to
Dramaraland in the south.
In beauty of color this serpent sur
passes almost all other snakes. Along
its back run brown lines, among which

are interspersed some of black and dark
green, and the lower part of its body,
from the mouth to the tail, is white or
yellow gray. Here and there are clus-
tered gold and red spots and fringe or
ribbon of ivory adorns both sides. AL
together 1t is a wonderfully colored
creature.
Very lazy Is this snake. During the
day it seldom stirs and during the night
1t rarely crawls more than a few yards.
