Banana vender Finds Boaconstrictor
in Bunch Of Fruit.

An italian fruit vender purchased q prise
package in the form of a bunch of bananas
at one Of the wholesale houses near the
center market this morning. When he at
tempted to remove a few of the bananas
from the stem he uncovered about six
inches of the body of boa constructor that
had crawled up among the branches to take
a nap while the fruit was yet on the tree,
and had accompanied the bunch to this
city.
The italian was very much frightened
bananas. SO that the snake could do no
harm. He was at first tempted to return
the bananas to the man from whom he
had purchased them, but on second thought
determined to offer the reptile for sale to
some one who makes a business OF buying
snakes, then get his ''banans' back. Act
ing on this impulse he sought Schmfdt's
establishment on 18th street. and was over
joyed to find that his snake was boa con-
str:ctor and was worth S.. He received
that amount and went on his way rejoic-
ing.
The boa is about SIX feet long and is
about two inches in diameter in the mid
die When he was first received by the
man who bought him from the Italian one
of the young women employed about the
from the stem. Mr.. Snake objected to hav-
ing his place of abode stripped of its COW
ering and promptly bit the young woman
No further attempt was made to d1slodge
him or the fruit that covered him. The
bite of the snake is not poisonous and no
evil effects are feared from the adventure
of the young lady assistant.

Michael Hill Released on Bond
Wanted in MARYLAND.

The habeas corpus and requisition case of
Mlchael Hill, who Is wanted in Prince
George county. Maryland, to answer a
charge or setting up a gaming table, as
heretofore stated in The Star, was called
to the attention OF Chief Justice Clabaugh

until next Wednesday. Hill is alleged to
have conducted a spinning Jenny at a re-
sort on the Bladensburg road last spring
Attorneys Hoover and Wells appeared as
counsel In the case. and the government
was represented by Assistant United States
Attorney Bingham.
The action of the court in postponing the
hearing was acceptable to both sides. and
the court was then called upon to pass upon
the question of bond. Bond was fixed at
$500 and the defendants mother-n-law
was offered as surety She owns n home
II is worth about 81 500 She was willing 20
risk the loss of her home for the purpose
of securing the freedom of her son-in- la W.
and her husband was in court ready to
sign the bond.
1T has been the practice of the district
of married woman uron a bond" stated
Capt. Bingham, but there have been ex-
ceptions made to the rule
Justice Clabaugh ruled against the &C
ceptance OF the mother-in-law as security
for the attendance of Hill, and asked why
some other security had not been offered.
Because of the financial condition of the
defendant" said Attorney Hoover, land the
defendants inability to pay the premium to
a bonding company"
and he was released. Should he be turned
over to the Maryland authorities he will
probably be tried at the October term Of
the circuit court at Marlboro.
