often been attributed to the beheaded
rattlesnake, but usually with a skepti-
cal sneer.
Prof Brewer of Yale claimed that,
years ago. he was in California and
had his tripod and other instruments
of surveying in a field. Stepping along
in the bushes he felt a movement un-
der his feet and found that he was
standing on a four and a half foot
rattlesnake, a large, vicious and fight

pinioned that he could not strike the

Bile punishment. And this is true ac-
cording to record in the North as well

Hardness will use the special racing

Demer III Plaintield
Before I o'clock this morning Constable
James Coutts Of this city received word
that the much wanted.man was at Demer's
farm. Without waiting for breakfast the
constable routed Deputy Frank Minard
and started for the place. When they
reached there they found that two officers
from Plainfeld were little earlier and
had captured the man, a dirty, mud-be-
grimed individual about the size Of Mar
tin but without the tell-tale mark the size
Of pea over one eye. The prisoner
maintained a sphynx-like silence as to
himself and where he was from, and the
officers who arrested him decided that he
was mixed up ia some tronble, even IL he
was not the mueh-wanted Martin.
William George notified the Barre Of

The Plain6eld officers took their capture
to Montpelier, after they discovered that
he was not Martin. Being arraigned there
on the charge of being a tramp, under the
name of Augustus Daragon, he was given
not less than three months In the house Of
correction.
