REPTILE
SON OF WILLIAM POND AT QUIET
DELL RECEIVES BITE FROM
COPPER HEAD.
Was IN Act of killing One Snake When
Another Jumped Out and Caught
His Arm.-Wound cauterized
and He May Get Over It.

Booth Pond, the young son of William
Pond, of Quiet Dell was bitten by cop
per-head snake of the specie Of Artist
uodon contortrix, near his home Monday
afternoon. The reptile sunk its fangs in
his arm as he was in the act of trying
to kin another lying nearby. The wound
was attended 10 Immediately and all
of the antidotes used in such cases of
poisoning applied. The arm is swollen
considerably, and outside of this, young
Pond has suffered no i'll effects from the
bite.
1t seems. that the young man came
upon the snake while going across a
field He picked up a club and was in
the act of dispatching it, when another
snake jumped towards him and bit him
on the arm. The copper head snake is
a venomous reptile and deadly poisonous.
1t is TO be hoped that the wound the
young man received has been properly

will not suffer any further from it.

aR0JllDERS'
GENERALLY GIVE THEMSELVES
away BY THEIR ACTIONS IN
POLICE COURT
The Old Police Court Regular Knows the
Ropes and Thereby Reveals His
Identity
Mayor Grille Tells How a Pittsburg Reg
Mar Gave Himself Away When He
was Assessed the Minimum Fine

A disinterested spectator at the mornz
ing session of the police court can al
ways tell a s.Tounder1 when the prisoner
lines up for Judgment. The manner In
which the police court regulars march
in the court room and take their seats
generally gives them away. They know
just when their turn comes, WHEN and
where TO stand while receiving sentence,
and to bIurt ont Guilty" when the judi
cial interrogation IS propounded by the
Chief Magistrate.
Tuesday morning a virtual antithesis
was presented when two prisoners were
brought into Mayor CriIe's presence to
answer to the usual charge of drunk and
disorderly'' Both prisoners were slight
ly past middle age; one knew the ropes,
while the other was as ignorant of the
inside workings of the city's executive
department as a newspaper man is of the
existence of ten dollar bill.
The first prisoner was disposed in the
usual manner. but he had to be continue
ally instructed as to the mode of proce-
dure which is generally in vogue in police
court He was fined three dollars and
costs, and after great deal of explana-
ton and instruction was accompanied TO
his room by policeman to get the
umount of his fine. He claimed that he
had thirty dollars in government negoti-
abilities when he was arrested, but as he
could not remedymueh about his arrest
and as the story is an old one in court,
the officers didn't pay much attention
to it.
The other man was up and down and
out in a hurry He jumped to his feet.
walked oto the front of the executive
table with an air of resignation and a
force of habit. pleaded guilty, and was
sent back to his cell when he said he
could not pay his fine of three dollars
and costs. 1t was all done with neat
ness and dispatch, which reminded one
that he was sitting in a theatre looking
upon the same scene upon the stage.
sSYou can't always sometimes tell,
said Mayor Grille to the Telegram re
porter. after he had closed the session.
and had walked ont in front of the ity
Hall chamber, "but as a general rule
you can spot ont the rounder every time.
Not long ago young fellow was up
before me to answer to the usual charge
Reclaimed absolute innocence and told a
sorrowful story of how iic had never
even been in a salon before. He told Of
his general excellent moral conduct in
4 manner which would lead the nniniti-
,ated to suspect that he was really a good
sIittIe fellow fined him three dollars
and costs and asked him where he was
from. He said his home was in Pitts
burg and that lie had just come from the
Smoky City. Then he asked the Chief
OF Police: whats the costs, $2.752"
That gave the whole thing away. lie
was evidently used to paying s2.I5 costs
in addition to the fine ns that is the usual
amount ussesscd in Pitsburg."
After exchanging the compliments OF
the day. the Telegram man handed the
Mayor n twenty five cent cigar and went
on his way.
