DR.. Trout Bitten by a Rather.

Last Friday night, DIR. Trout,
rector of our Episcopal church,
when out about seventeen miles
from Fort Myers on his way to
the Indian mission in the Ever
glades, was bitten by n rattle
snake, which forced him to aban-
don his Journey and come home.
He was on horseback, accom-
panied by n companion, a Mr..
Balloon; and night coming on,
they stopped to camp, and ON dis
mounting, DR.. Trout stepped too
near the snake, which. in the dark
ness he could not see, and was bit
ten on top of his right foot. He
was wearing soft buckskin mecca
sins, which were Il present from u
Seminole friend and were easily
penetrated by the reptiles fangs.
The doctor at once put a tight
ligature around his leg just above
the ankle, scarifed the wound with
his pocket knife and his compan-
ion sucked the wound to extract
the poison. They killed the
snake, which was about three feet
long. Then they returned TO
Fort Myers, where DR.. Trout re-
ceived the best medical attention,
which enabled him to come home
Sunday morning.
Immediately after being bitten,
he suffered great pain, which ex'
tended from his foot up to his
shoulder and continued through
all of Saturday. His foot and leg
became greatly swollen and from
Saturday until Sunday noon he
suffered from nausea. Most of
these symptoms passed away by
Sunday night and by Tuesday DR..
Trout was almost completely re-
lieved.
To the fact that the snake was
young and small and that its bite
was promptly and correctly treat
ed may be attributed the fact that
DR.. Trout escaped with his life.
His experience rather discourages
him from attempting amy more
trips into the Everglades,

EX-GOVERNOR Will.
LIAM S. JENNINGS
A Candidate for Committeeman

The Gainesville Sun has recent
" said that it was generally con-
ceded that Gov. Jennings made
one Of the best governors that
Florida has ever had. This,
together with other qualifications
and peculiar fitness for service to
the Democratic party and to his
distinguished kinsman, who will
unquestionably be nominated for
President, makes it important
that he be chosen as Florida's
National Committeeman. There
being two candidates named Jen'
nings announced for this position,
it will be necessary for those de-
string to vote for the Ex-Gov-
ernor to look on the ticket for
William S.-Jennings.

MAN is
SHOT DOWN
Was Wanted on Warrant Connecting
Him With Jorion Assault.


Woodburn, Jan. 25.-City Mar
shal Riddell and Constable Amos
Beach got into a deadly encounter
with one Charles Blwell, brother of
the bartender in Pat Douglas saloon
and, as a result, Elwell was shot
Through the thigh, and lies in the
hospital in precarious condition.
Elwel was under surveillance of
the Woodburn officers on the charge
of having robbed farmer from Hub
bard named Jordon, but there Is no
evidence that Jordon was robbed of
anything. The theory Is that Elwell
was trying to rob him, but was inter-
rupted before he got anything. In
attempting to make the arrest, Ell
we'll got out of the back door of the
saloon, and Riddell grappled him In
the dark. At first Elwell had the
best of the officer, but the latter got
I'm several blows with his club, and
Elwell let go his hold on Riddell's
throat and He'd. Constable Beach,
who had the warrant, got around the
other way, and at first fired a shot
in the air at the fleeing man, but as
he did not stop brought him to the
ground with shot from his revol-
YER, that smashed his thigh bone,
and Is really a dangerous wound.
