BILLY MENASCO'S NOSE.
II Came in Contact With Hard Ground
Last Niuht,

Billy Menasco, the well known clerk,
is no lover Of high sidewalks, and If
he ever breaks into the city council as
a member he proposes to have all the
grades in the city on a level with the
ground, regardless of the opinion OF
civil engineers and surveyors. He has
just cause for a kick, and if any one
doubts the assertion just call on Billy
and take a peep at his well defined
nose. Last night, or rather early this
morning, Billy meandered to his room
on West Gold avenue, after having
spent several hours with friends dis
cussing the good qualities of the
Eagles, when he struck one of the off
grade high sidewalks and before ne
could say Jack Robinson his nose was
blowing into the hard ground. He
picked himself up as neatly and scien-
~tiically as possible, under the circum-
stances, and on brushing off the dirt
continued to his room. The looking
glass revealed TO him the fact that his
nose had got the worst of the fall. 1t
will be several days before that nose

RattIesnake Flags.

After the rattlesnake had been adopt
cd as an emblem and had appeared on
the flags Of several of the colonies Ben
Jamin Franklin defended the device on
the grounds that the rattlesnake is
found only in America that all ser
pents' emblems were considered by the
ancients to be symbols Of wisdom; that
his bright, lidless eyes signify vigil
lance; that he never attacks without
first giving fair warning of his pres
ence; that his rattles, while distinct,
are so firmly Joined that they cannot
be separated without being ruined for
ever, and that as he grows older the
rattles increase in number, as it was
to be hoped the colonies would.
Indeed this idea was made use Of in
a flag device which represented a rat
tlesnake with nine joints, each joint
lettered with red silk. The head was
marked IN. E." New England, the re-
naming sections IN. Y" IN. j. ;" PA, -

carded for the one made by Mrs. Ross

DeWitt.s Little Early Risers do not

and inactive livers, by arousing the Sc

strength to the glands of the stomach,

HAS SURRENDERED TO SHERIFF r
Wilson, the Negro Who Struck Fraz.
Ter, In Custody.

Simon Wilson, the negro who struck
down Mr.. Dink Frazier with an axe,
intiicting wound from which Frazier
may die, walked calmly into the office
OF Sheriff Bell at the courthouse yes
terday told him his Estory of the affair
and also that he wished to give up.
Wilson was given cell to await the
result of Frazier's injuries.
Wilson related at length to Sheriff
Bell his story of the assault upon Fra
zier. He did not desire to run away,
as he could have done so, but want
ed protection until court convened.
Wilson's statement was, in effect,
that Mr.. Frazier, employed both Will
son and his brother, and had beat
en- the latter that day for not coming
to work. Mr.. Frazier, the negro
said, then struck his (Wilson's) wife,
when, infuriated at the sight, he
struck him with the axe.
Wilson says the blow was not hard
one, but, nevertheless, it cracked Fra.
tiers skull.
Wilson was not excited, but related
his side of the story in a straightfor-
ward manner. His wife and brother
wers witnesses to the assault, as was
Mrs. Frazier and perhaps others
present.
Upon the other hand, it is said that
the wife of Simon Wilson came into
Frazier's yard just prior to the attack
and created considerable row. Mr..
Frazier ordered her from the yard, and
when she refused to go he took her by
the arm and pushed her to the gate.
1t was while he was thus engaged
that Wilson struck him. The blow
crushed the skull in front, and while
Frazier was still alive yesterday the
chances are against him.
