THE MESSAGE
THURSDAY, NOV. 30, 1905
A Tough One.

Chris Pearson, of the Middle
town Chips, in a fit of mental Jim.
jams perpetrated the following a
week or SO ago:
Jack WooOdson, colored, liv-
ing 3 miles southwest of Middle
town, is at the bat with a snake
story out of the ordinary. He
says that in passing thru the
woodsSnear his place on Thursday
he came upon two big black snakes
fighting over the carcass of a
dead rat. He procured a club and
started to kill one of the snakes,
while the other fcrawled away
squalling loud enough to be heard
200 yards. This must have been
a sign Of distress, for Woodson
says the snakes began coming
from every direction, and it kept
him busy with his club doing
something" When the battle was
over there lay twenty-one black
snakes and one spread head, all
grown, the largest measuring six
feet, two inches. In the fight,
however, one black snake started
to crawl in his hole, but was
caught by the tail by WoodsOn.
He couldn't pull him out, but did
manage to pull him in two, leav-
ing the front end in the hole. 1t
wasn't satisfied with the results,
tho, and afterward came out aud
re-entered the fight. and when
Frank Bourne and Frank Ives,
two white neighbors, went to view
the battlefield there lay twenty
one dead black snakes including
the one pulled in twain and one
spread head. This part is vouched
for, What staggers most people
is the snake 'hollering' and the
half.snake coming back for more
WOodson say the tale is true,

During the night one of the secret

that 1t dropped out of his pocket while

Dozen Republicans Discuss White Sui
phur Organization Extension.
Some Gaines Talk.

PARKERSUBRG w. ", Aug. IL
About a dozen Republicans met here
yesterday afternoon at the office of
District Attorney Reese Blizzard. It
is understood this was a continuation
of the recent White Sulphur Springs
meeting, and while no information
was given out concerning what trans.
PRED. 1t is evident from the person
mel of the conference and the drift
of their general conversation that the
conference showed no friendship for
Senator Elkins.
One of the newest aspirants for the
Senatorship against Senator Elkins is
said to be Congressman j. H. Gaines.
Many friendly words were spoken for
him by persons attending this con-
ference. 1t is believed an effort will
be made by the southern element of
the anti-Elkins Republicans to con-
centrate the anti-Elkins strength on
Gaines.
Among those here were C. F. Teter,
of Philippi; Sam B. Montgomery, of
Tunnelton; W. W. whyte, of Mellow
ell county; Reese Blizzard, of Park
ersburg; Geo. c. Mcintosh, of Fayette-
vile; Grant P. Hall, of Charleston;
j. W. Burchinal, of Moundsville; Rob-
ert r. Smith and w. G. Bernheim, of
Mcdowell county; W. B. Hawley, of
Bluefeld.
Some of those declared that Elklns'
name was not mentioned. In certain
other circles it is believed an effort
will be made to strengthen the White
Sulphur movement to impress Elkins
so he will recognize the outs in pat
ronage distribution.
