Painfully Injured.

Home Coming week was marred
by only two accidents, that we have
learned of. and both of the unfor-

be expected.

Russian Fire Dive act of Daugh-
erty from the top of the court house.
Owen Rooney was standing on the
vacant lot opposite, the post office
site, where was located the tank OF
water into which Daugherty made
his slide. Just after the act one OF

A Snake Story.

One of the latest and most improv-
ed methods of killing snakes has
just come to notice at Marshalltown.
Hart and John Smith, aged IL and 9
years, read that snakes could be
charmed by music, and. armed with
& violin and two clubs, the young
sters started out to do slaughter.
They began a search for snake holes,
and where found the lads began to
draw the bow of the old fiddle across
the strings. There wasn't much' har-
mony in the tones, to be sure, but
they had the desired effect. Twelve
snakes came from different holes, as
many as three being captured out
CT one nest Not one of the reptiles
was under eighteen inches long. and
the longest. was two and one-half
feet in length.-Ackley World.
