these words he withdrew the reptile
from its cage and, holding it by the
throat, exhibited its length to those
present, the snake struggling in his
clutches and the whir of its seven rat
tiers frightening the audience. Conn
then replaced the snake in the box, and
a few persons gathered and talked Of
the incident. Before any one had re-
covered from the first exhibition by
the amateur snake charmer he again
drew the reptile from its cage and al
lowed it to coil about his right arm.
Hardly noticing it, he began to chat
with the men in the store of his ex.
periences in the west with rattlers,
when suddenly the writhing object
struggled from his grasp and plunged
its fangs into his right hand. He was
removed to the hospital, where, despite
treatment, he grew steadily worse to
the end.
Conn was a Yale graduate. He is
survived by widow and three chill
dren.

ing's catch. This incidentally was the
season s record string.
When he returned to the boathouse
Mr.. Bartels tossed the fish to Boatman
Heating with instructions to clean
them. As the boatman cut open the
big bass a glittering object fell out
upon the ground. Heating picked it up
to see what it was. He was astonished
to find a diamond ring.
The gold was furnished. but the dia-
mond had lost none of its brillianey.
1t was a stone of the first water. How
many years il had wasted its luster in
the fish s stomach will never be known.
Whether some visitor to Delavan lake
dropped the ring by accident into the
water or whether the monster bass
snapped it from some dead man s fin
Sger is a mystery which may be solved
later. Mr.. Bartels left the ring at his
hotel at the lake. thinking probably its
former owner might be able to estab
lish his claim to it,

( 'EIt was the most awful whack I ever
got, said Dexter, "and / didn t know
a thing until 1 hit the cold water. That
revived me, and I saw the dory, with
one gunwale under water and the fish
half out, trying to squirm back into
the sea. / dived under the dory and,
coming up on the other side, brought
it back upon an even keel. The fish
was now in my dory, and / was in the
water. He seemed TO know he had the
upper hand, and every time [ made a
move to get in that awful tail would
wave, and I would drop back again.
Honestly, don't know how | final
ly got back into the dory, but the next
thing I knew I was lying in the bot
tom of the boat on top of that jump
ing, thrashing fish and in all kinds of
danger of getting crushed under it or
getting killed by a blow from its tail.
Every time tried to climb up the fish
would knock me down again. The boat
was nearly full of water, ard the fish
was good and strong.
81 think he would have done for me
if | hadn It happened by good luck to
hit him welt on the head. That
quoted him until [ could get upon my
feet and finish him. 1t was a lucky
thing for me that the water was smooth
or the fish would have gone out of the
boat and taken me with him. -

ten, Sullivan county, N. Y, drew all
the young people for miles around.
The word that no one would be admit
ted unless he or she wore a shirt waist

The grand march was named the

teered to surrender his body in the in
terest of humanity apd medical science,
has permitted physician to inoeulate
his system with the germs of the dread

Merritt, who is a middle aged man,

paper, caught black bass in Delavan
lake a few days ago weighing four
pounds and worth $3.50.
This is not fish story" It's true.
The bass had a big solitaire diamond
ring in its stomach.
Mr.. BaFtels rowed to his favorite
fishing ground on the shores of a wood
ed bay at the northern end of the lake
early in the morning. He angled for
hours with fine success. When he was
preparing to haul in his anchor and
start for the hotel he got a bite that
set his reel singing merrily. For a
half hour he played the fish and at last
when he had tired it out landed it
neatly with his dipnet. The fish was
what a Delavan Walton would have
called a beauty. 1t made twenty-five
