MIR. Jenzen ran his wagon wheel over
its body. holding it down while they
killed it with stick of cord wood. The
body was about the size of a mans leg.
They tied rope around its neck and
tried to get it into the wagon box and
succeeded by taking out the tail board
and hauling it in from behind with q
rope. 1t was all they both could do to
get it into the wagon. The snake
was nine feet long and after they had
it stretched out the whole length of
the box Its tail hung out and trailed on
the ground. They did not have any
correct way Of measuring it but they
judged it thirteen feet long. weighing
close to three hundred pounds. 1t is a
mystery where the snake came from.
1t resembled the garter snake in every
respect excepting for its monsterous
size.

KLEIN.

The crops are looking fine here and
there is quite lot of barley all ready
cut
P. d. Waldo our post master and
merchant has already received his fall
supply of goods and is doing business in
the same good old way.
Not hearing from the Klein cor
respondent for some time and thinking
that if not dead he must be sleeping,
and as there are several items worthy of
notice will try and place them within
your reach.
Last Thursday morning lightning
struck Jacob Jenzen's barn wrecking it
pretty badly and killing two valuable
horses Mr.. Jenzen and his brother
Isaac were close by the horses and were
pretty badly stunned. There was some
hay that took fire. but they got it out
and saved the barn.
One day last week when Isaac Jenzen
was coming home from Starkweather
with load of cord wood. within about
three miles of Klein post Office he came
up to a man with lumber wagon.
The man called asking Mr.. Jenzen to
come and help him kill big snake that
had taken possession of his wagon box.
1t seems the snake was laying in the
middle of the road as the man came
along with his team. As the horses
came near to the snake it started OFF
ahead Of the team keeping in the road.
The man thought he would run over it
and crush it with the wheel of his
wagon. In doing so the snake wound
up in the hub of the hind wheel. throw
ing his head over the box he held the
hind wheel so solid that it slid along
the ground With the head Of the
snake and part of its body in the wagon
box the man thought it time for him to
get cut. This was the plight in which
Mr.. Jenzen found him. When the
wagon stopped the snake started for
the ground again. The snake seemed
to be badly entangled in the wheel and

affirm their belief in adherence to and
support the cardinal principles of dem
ocracy. as contained in the national
platform. adopted at ST. Louis. and We
hereby pledge our loyal support to the
candidates nominated thereon.
,. We denounce the republican
party for committing the conduct of
the political; affairs of this state to a
few bosses dominated and controlled
by corporations. who from the Mer-
chants Hotel in st. Paul. Minnesota,
dictate party nominations. issues and
public affairs of this state. We further
denounce the cowardice of delegates
chosen by the people in ratifying the
action of such bosses.
3. We favor minority representa-
ton on all public boards in this state
and denounce the action Of the late
republican convention, in doling out ap-
pointments on public boards and sub
ordinate positions and thereby usurp-
ing the prerogatiye of the executive
for corrupt and partisan purposes.
| i. We denounce the republican party
for its extravagant management of the
affairs of the state and pledge the
democratic party. if placed in power. to
be careful and economic administration
of the affairs of the state.

candidates for public Office. and hereby
pledge our party to the enactment and
| enforcement of such Law.

8. We favor national legislation Civ
ing the interstate commerce commission
power to enforce its mandates and the
enactment and enforcement of such
laws within the state as will prevent
prchibitory charges and discrimination
in local rates.
Whereas. in order to put the national

became necessary for private parties
to advance the money to procure the
services of competent engineers.
Therefore. be it resolved that our
members in the legislative assembly be
hereby instructed to vote for the neces-
sary appropriation to reimburse such
private parties.
Whereas the Hon. ]. P. Birder. :of
