AN EXCITING
EXPERIENCE

farm. Mahoning township, had an OK,
citing experience Monday aud before
noon was in u state of collapse,
Miss Mack started from the farm
house about eight o'clock TO pick ber'
ries. Coming to a bush whore the ber,
ries hung near the ground she stopped
to pick them and a moment later felt
a stinging sensation ON the left hand,
She raised her arm immediately and
was Mortified to see a snake elinging
to the middle finger. its fangs imhed'
ded in the flesh under the knuekle,
She shook the reptile of and ran to
the house, The arm and finger We're
tightly bound above the wound
aud hasty preparations made to drive
to Danville,
Mrs, Miller, who accompanied Miss
Mack to this city. alighted at the home
of a friend ON West Market street,
Maggie, naturally nervous aboat the
wound. started at once for Dr. z, q,
Ne " bakers office, She drove down
Factory street and turned into West
Mahoning street, Having tho use Of
but one hand she was unable to stop
the horse at tho Doctors office and the
animal at u good speed went on down
Mahoning street.
OF its own accord the horse turned
into Chestnut street and then again
into West Market, BY the time Fac,
tory street was reached again Miss
Mack had managed to get the animal
under control, But coming down the
hill at the Hunt carriage shop again
lost control aud the horse dashed East
on Mahoning street, going faster at
every bound,
Upon reaching Mill street a number
of men discovered tho girls plight aud
stopped the horse, He was n spirited
animal and though not exactly run,
ming away could not be controlled in
a ne.handed way,
Tho young lady was then assisted to
the Doctors office whore the snake
bite was oauteriaed, The hand and
finger we're badly swollen but ii is
not thought that the wound is q dang,

and half in length and was not
thought to be very poisonous,

Ferry Moves Slowly,

Though the river has risen several
inches the past few days the ferry
makes little headway. Going toward
the South Danville shore it is especial
ly trying and to make any of the Penn
sylvsnia trains it is wise to start very
early. Several passengers missed the
so train last evening, though pre-
sumably they had started early enough,
In many cases the ferry passengers be-
come quite impatient aud look long
inRly at the terrymsn,
The ferrymen are doing all that is
possible to facilitate the speed and un'
der the circumstances show remark
able patience.
