FARMER FIGHTS
A HUGE REPTILE
OF UNKNOWN SPECIES NEAR
LIBERTY.
COlLED AROUND NECK
At One Time but the Farmer Cut it
With ket-Knife-Snake
a Terror.

Liberty, Ind, June 2s.-In an en-
counter with huge snake, of an un-
known species, near the mouth of
cave in the hills in the southwestern
part of the county, Norman Jones, a
young farmer of athletic build, al
most lost his life. Jones, who had
heard that cave was the haunt of
snake, saw the reptile summing itself
as he approached the cave last Sat-
urday. Selling club he attacked
the snake, believing he could kill it
with little trouble. But the snake
proved a formidable adversary and
the desperate encounter which en-
sued was continued for almost an
hour.
At one time Jones says the snake
coiled about his neck and was slowly
strangling him when he managed to
cut it almost in two with his pocket
knife. The snake released it's hold and
dropped to the ground, and, believ-
ing the reptile dead, Jones made his
way to a nearby farm house. He re-
turned with two men who were to
assist him in skinning his prize. But
the snake had disappeared in the cave
leaving bloody trail behind it.

VENUED FROM
RANDOLPH COUNTY
A CASE CHARGING MALPRAC-
TICE AGAINST PHYSICIANS
DR.. oGRANVILLE RANARD
Of Union City, a Railroad Surgeon,
The Principal De-
fendant.
DR.. oGRANVILLE RANARD

This was the day set apart by the
Wayne circuit court to hear a case
venued from Randolph county. The
case is one of alleged malpractice and
is brought by one Davis of Randolph
county against Drs. Ruby, Reynard
and Reynard. On account Of the ILL
ness of Judge Fox, the case was not
called.
This case involves feature not un-
usual in a surgeons s experience. The
plaintiff broke his right leg below the
knee and called DR.. Ruby. DR.. Ruby
called in the Drs. Reynard and Gran
vile Reynard set the bones and put
on a plaster cast. The plaintiff soon
tired of the cast and had one made
Of tin and replaced the plaster cast
with it. This was all unknown to the
surgeons. AS a consequence the bones
of his leg did not unite properly and
hence the suit. @
Those familiar with the science of
surgery say that the plaintiff has no
case whatever DecduSe uc eHCl1ely -
nored the instructions of his physi-
clans. A Palladium reporter asked a
leading surgeon Of Richmond If the
plaintiff had a case and he replied in
the negative. The above mentioned
surgeon said that when patient ig-
nored the advice of a surgeon and
went about his daily avocations to his
own injury, he could not place the
responsibility on the profession. He
concluded by saying that, in his opin-
ion, the plaintiff had no case.

8 A BOOM STARTED FOR HIM
FOR THAT OFFICE.
TELEGRAPHS PALLADIUM
In Which He Does Not Deny His
Candidacy-Let the Boom
Go On.

The announcement was made in the
morning papers that the latest candi-
date to shy his castor into the ring
as a successor to Senator Fairbanks
was Daniel G. Reid, of New York.
Of course, the announcement came as
a surprise, especially to the friends OF
Mr.. Reid here in Richmond where he
was born and raised to manhood.
Until his name was sprung MIR. Reid
probably never gave the matter serl-
Gus thought. He had his plans made
to spend the summer abroad with the
members of his family, and we are
not quite sure that politics bothered
him much. However, if Mr.. Reid is
a candidate there is little doubt but
that he could be elected. And the
Palladium feels that Mr.. Reid will
]ikelv be a candidate and like the late
Marcus A. Hanna, will be elected.
There is only one drawback that we
can see at this time, and that is that
Harry Starr is pledged to manage
Congressman Hemenway's campaign
for the same office. With Dan Reid a
candidate and Harry Starr as his
campaign manager success would be
sure.
In message from Mr.. D. G. Reid
to the Palladium he does not say hs
would not be candidate, but rather
leaves it to us to read between the
lines, and we have read and believe
that Mr.. Reid can be induced to be a
candidate.
Some may claim he is not a resident
of Richmond, but that claim will have
no foundation in fact. His home IN
New York is not any more his home
than his Richmond home. Only two
years ago he contemplated erecting a
mansion at the corner of Tenth and
North B streets, but stumbling
block was placed in his way. Since
that time he has given Richmond a
MAGNIFICENT memorial church, and al
so a hospital. besides numerous other
Gifts. Thousands of dollars are spent
here every year by Mr.. Reid that the
majority of the people know nothing
about.
Mr.. Reid is a thoroughbred Indi-
ana man, and Hoosier who is proud
of his birthplace.
Senator Reid would sound we'll and
the Palladium will today start a boom
for him for that high office, which he
would fill with credit. He would be
the first United States senator ever
furnished by Richmond.
