near Carriers hill, through which

years. 1t was u township bridge,
being built at the expense of the tax

PECULIAR CASE.
Girl Bitten by Spreading Adder Goes
Into Commissions and Tries to Bite
Her frieuds.
THINKS SHE IS A SNAKE.

Miss Sallie Casteel, a young
girl living at the Royal mines
near Madisonville, while out
walking one evening last week
was bitten by spreading adder.
She at once fled to the house and
told Mrs. McCreary with whom
she was living that she had been
bitten by a snake. Mrs. Nc
Creary applied the remedies at
hand and the girl soon became
quiet and seemed to be suffering
very little. Later on during the
night however she was seized
with commissions and a physician
was called in the next morning.
During the commissions the girl
imagines she Is a snake and pro-
trudes her tongue, Kisses and
tries to bite any one near her.
On Sunday tn e attend
ing physician cauterized the
wound, administered opiates and
the girl seemed so much better
that afternoon she was allowed
to walk out in the yard. After a
short time the people of the
house missed her. A search was
at once instituted and they had
proceeded a short distance when
they heard calls for assistance
in the direction Of the coal COM
pany's pond. On reaching the
pond it was discovered the girl
had tried to drown herself and
had been prevented by a man
who had seen her wade into the
water, She was returned to the
house and passed through sever
al violent commissions attended
by the same Authorizations. Mon
day afternoon the patient al
though still suffering consider
ably was slightly improved and
the swelling had gone down and
it is possible the girl will re-
cover.
