Snakes Fight Deadly Combat.

w. M. Kinds, the Leon liveryman, tells
us Of very strange death combat which
he witnessed last Friday about four
miles east of the town cf Grand River.
He was driving along when he met w.
G. Young who called to him to come to
the side of the road and see strange
fight. Mr.. Kinds did so, and saw the
final struggles of big blue racer snake
over four feet long, which was being
killed by little spotted snake not over
ten or twelve inches in length. Mr..
Young said he had been watching the
fight for nearly an hour. The little
snake had it's body right through the
mouth of the blue racer and then doubled
it's lower jaw back by making perfect
half hitch with it's body and wrapping
itself around the neck Of the blue racer
was slowly choking it to death. The
big snake had been making desperate
efforts to free itself, but could not shake
off it's plucky little adversary, and grad
ually becoming weaker was finally chok-
ed to death. Then Mr.. Young killed the
little snake before it could disentangle
itself from the blue racer. The small
snake was not much thicker than lead
pencil, quite spotted and looked some-
thing like rattle snake or bull snake,
neither men ever having seen snake
just like it.

The plaintiff denies that he ever signed
the said notes, or received any con-
sideration for so doing if he ever did
sign them. That if he actually signed
them he was induced to do so by f. A.
Greenland or some one representing
him, under the belief that he was sign
ing some other kind of paper, and
claims that Greenland and one Roy
Switzer and others acting for Green
land piled him with liquor so that he
was totally incapacitated for doing any
kind of business, and while in an in
toxicated condition he signed the notes.
That said Greenland and Switzer were
supposed to be his friends and he had
implicit confidence in them, and did not
suspect that they were having him sign
such notes and mortgage. The defend
ants Stephen Varga, Clara Frazier, w.
A. Ramsey and VIM. Greenland are made
parties to the suit for the reason that
they are supposed to own at this time
some of the said notes. Plaintiff asks
that said mortgage and notes be de-
clared null and void, and the defend
ants be restrained from selling, trans
ferring or attempting to collect them.

Got $50 Damages.

The jury in the case of J. B. Newlin of
this city against the Iowa Central r. r.
which was tried at Abba last week
finally returned verdict for the
plaintiff of $50, which was in the nature
of a compromise verdict. Mr.. Newlin
had sued for $1,000 as damages for
injuries received in being thrown from
the steps of an Iowa Central train in
that city some two years ago. For
many hours after the jury went out they
stood 10 to 2 in favor of awarding Mr..
Newlin 81 900 damages, and finally came
into court and said they were unable to
agree on a verdict. The Judge who
tried the case gave them talk telling
them, to return to their room and use
every effort to arrive at a verdict.
They did so, and as the two jurors who
stood out for the railroad would not
agree with the other ten, the jury
finally compromised and returned a
verdict for Mr.. Newlin of $50. L. B.
Jackson of this city was one of the
attorneys who tried the case for Mr..
Newlin.

TAKES SHOT AT WOMEN
Mrs. W. II. CarIin, of Weldon, She is
at Miss Mamie Cariin But tfni
Bullet Went Wide it's Mark.

There was lively shooting scrape at
Weldon last Saturday morning, and the
only reason we do not have to report
another murder case is because it was
woman who had hold of the revolver
and instead of killing the girl at whom
she shot, the bullet went through the
dress of another woman, which is about
as straight as the average woman can
shoot. The trouble arose in the family
OF W. II. Carlin. His daughter Mamie.
by his first wife, girl about fifteen
years OF age, had been having trouble
with Mrs. Carlin, and Friday evening
left home and went to the home of Mr.
Carlin's half sister, Mrs. Lucy Leggett,
where she remained all night. Mr..
Carlin had tried to persuade her to re-
turn home, but she refused, and accord
ing to one side of the trouble Mrs.
Carlin went down to the Leggett house.
and called the girl out asking her to-
return home. The girl said she would
die first, and Mrs. Carlin said if she
didn't come home she would kill her.
and ended by firing shot at her with a.
~ revolver. The bullet went wide of
it's mark and passed through the dress
OF Mrs. Leggett who was standing i'm
the door of the house. Then Mrs.
ASSSCOu LUX uduu ana UrloQ TO take
the revolver from Mrs. Carlin and in the
scuffie Mrs. Carlin was thrown into a
wire fence and received severe cut on
her face. Mrs. Carlin returned home,
and she and her husband at once made
out deeds transferring all their proper
ty to their two children. Mrs. Carlin
was not arrested at the time at the re-
quest of Mr.. Carlin, but on Monday an
information was filed before Justice
Jamison and hearing heard. Mrs.
Carlin denied shooting at the girl, and
said the revolver was accidently dis
charged during the scuffle between her
and the girl and Mrs. Leggett. Thore
being no witnesses to the shooting and
it all being in the family, there was
some trouble about securing evidence
sufficient to bind her over to the grand
jury on the charge of assault with intent
to kill, so the case was compromised by
Mrs. Carlin pleading guilty to the
charge of assault and battery and she
was fined S10O by Justice Jamison.

HOMAGE PAID TO HANNA
AT SENATE CEREMONIES
Great Men of the Nation Gather Around His
Bier, Where the Funeral Services Were
lmpressiveIy Conducted

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
WASHINGTON. Feb 17,-The hom-
age paid Senator Hanna, today, by the
great men of the nation and the peo-
pie of Washington, will long be remem-
bered. Great simplicity marked the
ceremonies. A half hour before noon
the galleries of the senate began to
cards. Owing to the small accommo-
dations of the galleries many were
turned away, Each senator, congress-
man and justice were allowed two
cards for friends.
AT IL o'clock a detachment Of mount
ed police drew up at the Arlington and
within few minutes the body was
borne to the hearse. The carriages and
mourners followed. The people gath
erd along the route stood with uncov-
cred heads. A detail of capitol police
carried the casket to the senate cham
ber where it rested on the same cata-
falque that performed service for Nc
Kinley. A beautiful profusion of flow
ers were heaped round the bier. Two
of the most remarkable of the floral
offerings bore cards from the minister
of the republic of Panama and from
the government ard people of Panama
The first was in the form of a wreath
four foot in diameter and the second
in the form Of cross six feet high.
Mrs. Roosevelt sent a handsome
wreath of vioie:ts and orchids. The
floral display was the greatest ever
seen in Washington.
The florists say it cost between five
ana ten Thousand dollars,
A few minutes before twelve the dis
tnguished personages began to arrive.
The president, the cabinet Admiral
Dewey General Chaffee, the diplomats
corps and the supreme court, We're es-
corted in according to the time -honored
program of precedence. Senator Frye S
TuuN1 was placed at the disposal of the
Hanna famfly Mrs. Hanna walked
with firm step.
When the Representatives in body
arrived they were preceded by the ser
geant-at-arms headed by Speaker Can
non and Couden. Cannon took seat
to the left of Frye. The diplomats were
headed by Count Cassini.
The scene was one of soTnbre dignity.
A semi-circle of chairs near the casket
and to the left of the aisle accommo-
dated the family and immediate
friends. while, on the right were seated
the president and cabinet, Dewey and
Cthaffee. Extending to the rear or the
left were the diplomatic corps and
members of the senate In the rear OF
