FARMER FIGHTS AN HOUR
WITH A HUGE SNAKE
Young Man Almost Loses Life in En-
counter With Strange Reptile

LIBERTY, Ind, July 15.-I nan en-
counter with huge snake of an I'M
known species near the mouth Of
cave in the hills, Norman Jones.
young farmer, almost lost his lie
Jones, who had heard that the cave
was the haunt Of a snake, saw the rep
tile summing itself as he approached the
cave. Selling a club he attacked the
snake, believing he could kill 1T with
little trouble. But the snake proved a
formidable adversary for an hour.
At one time, Jones says, the snake
coiled about his neck and was slowly
strangling him when he managed TO cut
1t with his pocket knife. The snake re-
leased it's hold and dropped to the
ground. Believing the reptile dead,
Jones made his way to a farm house.
He returned with two men, who were
to assist in skinning the prize. But the
snake had disappeared in the cave,
leaving trail behind it.
Jones says the snake was almost
twelve feet long and that his ::lack
body was at least three feet in circum-
ference. Its head was large and fat
and a yellow streak ran from it's head
to it's tail down the middle of its back.
Jones declares that he will explore the
cave and kill the snake if he can find
any one to aid him.
1t is said that parts of the cave,
which was once a rendezvous for rob
bers, have never been explored. In re-
cent years many persons have seen the
snake near the mouth of the cave, and
the place has been given a wide berth.

BIG FLYING FISH -
STARTLES SHIPS CREW
Boards Philadelphia at Night-Meas-
ures IS Inches From Tip to Tip

NEW YORK, July 15.-With many
well known persons among her passen-
gers, the Philadelphia, of the American
line, brought to port yesterday a tale
of an unusual visit which was paid to
the ship on her voyage to the other
side.
One of the ships engineers was
standing on the first platform of the
engine room about 2 o'clock on the
morning of June 20, when he was
startled by an object which sailed in
from somewhere overhead and landed
at his feet.
1t floundered about helplessly, and
when the engineer and the oilers had
recovered from the shock they found it
was flying fish, which measured ff-
teen inches from tip to tip of the wings.
1t was a foot in length.

PICKETS ROUND UP
STRIKE BREAKERS

The striking butchers and packers at
South st. Paul made what they believe
to be an important capture late last
night.
Seven of eight men who were riding
in a box car in Great Western
freight train were captured and held
prisoners in the strikers headquarters.
They are thought by the strikers to be
strike breakers who had intended to
jump from the train when it stopped
at South st. Paul and sprint for the
entrance to Swift & Co.'S plant. j..
The men protest that they are sim
ply out to see the country and are not
looking for a chance to work. They
will be put on a passenger train bound
for st. Paul this morning and their
fares paid to the city. Until the pas
senger train appears the captives will
remain in the custody of the strikers
at their headquarters.
The incident created considerable
excitement at South St. Paul. The
train arrived from the south at IL: 80
o'clock and stopped at the station. The
pickets We're on watch for men who
might be smuggled into the packing
plants from trains, and when one of
the eight men in the box car put his
head out the door of the freight car in
which they were riding there was ex-
element.
There they are!'' yelled one of the
pickets, and crowd of men made a
rush for the car containing the trav-
elers.
In fear of their lives the eight men
dropped out the doors of the car and
scattered. The crowd pursued and
succeeded after brisk chase in
rounding UP seven of the eight The
prisoners were marched under heavy
guard to the strikers headquarters IN
the village engine house. There they
were closely questioned, but all denied
that they had intended to stop at
South ST. Paul and accept work in the
places of the strikers. The strikers
were suspicious and decided, after a
conference to take no chances. The
seven were therefore put under guard
and will be put on the first passenger
train this morning for ST. Paul.

Inc allied trades unions at the stock
yards are becoming restless, and unless
settlement is reached in the near flu
lure they may decide to stop work in
sympathy with the men already out.
The members of the allied crafts at
the yards in this city number be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, and a major
ity of them belong to the union. A
mass meeting of these men will be
held tomorrow night. when the question
OF their quitting work will be dis
cussed.
The work in the packing plants in
this city was continued today on
much larger scale than at any time
since. the strike has been declared.
Many new men have been employed,
among whom, it is said,, are many
skilled workmen, and the packers de-.
care that they are doing better than
they expected.

BELMONT. N. Y, July 15-The whole
story OF the murder of John Van Gorder
and his half sister, Anna Farnham at the
van Gorder homestead near Agelica on
the night of May 8, was told on the wit
ness stand today by Giuseppe versacia,
one, OF their slayers. yersacia made
desperate effort by putting the brunt of
the crime on Antonio Georgia, who was
convicted yesterday, to secure life
sentence, but after fifteen minutes de-
llberatlon the. jury returned a verdict
finding him guilty of murder in the first
degree.
While the jury was out Antonio Gior-
ga was sentenced. to death, and following
the verdict Versacia met the same fate.
Pasduale Olivia and Sebastino Pizzatti,
the other two Of the quartette indicted
for the murder, were discharged.
Versacia's story of the crime was as
follows:
..on the night of May Georgia and 1
walked to Van Gortfer's and hid until
dark. Then we went into the house.
Mr.. Van Gorder passed me chair and 1
sat down. Just then GIorgia drove two
knives into the man, one with each
hand, and killed him. Turning to me he
said, You kill the lady, or l will kill you

DISPUTE STILL HANGS
FIRE In CHICAGO
Negotiations Are at a StandstiII, Mel
Their Side Being Inclined to Yield

CHICAGO, July 15.-Negotiations
for peace in the stock yards strike are
practically at a Standstill tonight, and
the strike will continue until one side
or the other abates something of It's
demands Both sides are anxious for.
a peaceable settlement, but the Stun
bling block is that neither side is pre-
pared to allow the other to dictate the
basis of arbitration.
This afternoon the packers consid-
cred Mr.. Donnelly's reply to their
proposition of last night, but it proved
unsatisfactory, and the union officials
We're notified that it would be irnpos-
sible to reach an agreement along the
lines suggested by Mr.. Donnelly. In
their answer the packers declared
themselves willing to arbitrate, but
stipulated that the arbitration should
include the entire scope of the strike
and not be subject to restrictions or
limitations of any kind. This commu-
nication was Identical with the one sent
yesterday to Mr.. Donnelly, and to
which his counter proposition of today
was reply. With the reply of the
packers was sent note to Mr.. Dom
nelly, notifying him that they would
be ready for his answer tomorrow,
and that If he desired another con-
ference with them they would be
pleased to meet him in another effort

No arrangements have as yet been
made for another conference, but the
reply of the unions to the last note
of the packers will be sent tomorrow
morning, after which Mr.. Donnelly
will leave for ST. Louis, where he will
address mass meeting OF strikers
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Donnelly's
last proposition to the packers was as
follows:
All grievances to be submitted to ar
bitration; all strikers to be reinstated
in body; men employed by the pack
ers since the strike may be retained if
use can be found for them; the tenn
porary wage scale to be that in effect
previous to May %. This means that
unskilled labor is to be paid, pending
the decision of the arbitrator, 1919
cents instead of Is to 1711a cents, the
prices paid since May %.
The following is the reply of the
packers to the proposition of Mr.. Dom
nelly:

bitration; the strikers to be re-em-
ployed as rapidly as places can be
found for them, preference to be given

GRAIN DEALER KILLS
WIFE AND DAUGHTER
Then Washburne Takes His Own Life
Cause of the Tragedy Unknown

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 15.-One Of
the most shocking tragedies that ever
occurred in this city came to light to-
day when the dead bodies of Edgar T.
Washburne, member of the grain firm
of Heathfield & Washburne, on the
Board of Trade, Washburne's wife and
his young daughter, Gladys, fifteen
years old, were found in a bedroom of
their home in this city. Mr.. Wash
burne had shot and killed his wife and
daughter and then turned the weapon
upon his own head and killed himself.
1t Is believed the deed was commit
ted while Mr.. Washburne was suffer
ing from temporary fit of insanity.
He had written a letter to a relative
recently saying he was having trouble
in business. AS far as known the
any trouble among themselves. Last
evening was spent by the Washburne
family at the house of neighbor, and
all appeared in a jovial mood.
The tragedy was discovered by
relative who called at the Washburne
house shortly before noon today. When
the police arrived they found Mrs.
Washburne and her daughter lying
dead side by side in bed and Wash
burne was dead on the floor at the foot
of the bed. Evidently Washburne shot
the girl first as she lay in bed. When
Mrs Washburne, aroused by the shot,
partly raised herself in the bed, Wash
burne fired the second shot, the bull
let entering the woman's left temple
and causing instant death. Washburne
picked up a mirror, and, taking aim,
shot himself in the right temple. The
news of the tragedy had the effect of
practically closing the grain exchange
for the remainder of the day.
Washburne was an ardent spiritual
list. When he first entered the grain
business it is said that he was very
fortunate and that he attributed his
success to advice received through
mediums
