THE ORANGES,
BLOOMFIELD,
SLAUGHTERS SNAKE
WITH CLOTHES POLE
Sanguine Battle Between D. M.
Cooke and Reptile of In
definite Length.

Peary discovered the North Pole and
soived one of the mysteries of the ages.
Young Tyson. of Connecticut, went out
In his automobile, discovered a tele-
phone pole, and with 1t a constellation
never before charted. Now D.. w.
Cooke traffic manager for the Erie
railroad, has discovered a pole,
and with 1t killed the biggest black
ever seen in Essex Fells. He Is
a hero, particularly with members of
the FAMILY of Colonel James Cresap
Sprigg, who were menac by the
reptile, which had found Judgment on
the roof of their handsome home here.
1t was a terrible snake. One man
VINO saw 1t says that when Cooke at
lacked 1t single-handed it was hiss
ing and throwing its fangs in every
direction" If it was doing that the
agile Erie railroad man succeeded in
oodging them, because he has not a
single fang in his cuticle to show for
The encounter. Estimates of the length
OF n snake range from three to thirty
rect. 1t is admitted that If the village
topper had seen 1t unexpectedly, he
would have reformed and become a
temperance advocate. A mountaineer
reels sure M snake killed was "Old
Terrible" which for years had fright
ened women n children in the Or
ange mountains and successfully
eiuded men trying to slay him.
The Spriggs have been away for the
summer. Cooke is a next-door neighbor.
the Spriggs returned today, Mrs.
Sprigg saw several feet Of the black
snake hanging over the edge of the
roof. She and her children, James and
Julia, tried to reach the reptile and kill
1T. Its demeanor was terrible, however,
and they were frightened so badly they
did not dare to engage 1t at close quar-
tiers. They were afraid It would plunge
through a dormer window into the
house.
1t was then Cooke appeared. He
fought the reptile at first with sticks
and stones and did more damage to the
roof than he did to the snake. Finally
he went on a pole-hunting expedition.
In a time that would put Peary to the
blush, he returned with one. He
knocked the blacksnake from the roof
to the lawn. There it was killed with
the assistance of Colonel Sprigg. oNH
everybody desires to be a hero and not
a snake in the Essex Fells district feels
safe.

MILLBURN,
AND HILTON
R VOTES
FOR AMENDMENTS
Other Citizens of the Oranges
Betray Little Interest in
Election.

If 1t were not for the closing of
saloons in the Oranges today and the
little placards announcing to the public
that today is election day the fact
would scarcely be known that an eff
fort is under way to effect changes IN
the New Jersey State Constitution.
There was scarcely any attendance
his morning, and the election officers
and police yawned while the ballots
drifted in the boxes at the average
rate of a voter every ten minutes.
From 8 to s per cent. was the average
of the enrolment totals voted in the
Oranges, and a fair sample was in
Governor John F. Forts own district,
the Second of the Second ward. Gov
ernors Fort with a vest pocket ticket
entered the polling place in Main
street, near the City Hall. and was
the 32d voter at 1875 o'clock. He an
nounced himself as a imam without a
home or country" as his old residence
has been sold. His furniture. he said,
Is PACKED away and he is boarding at
a William street apartment hotel.
He took a ballot with him and left 1t
In the booth, using the ticket he had
prepared at home. With a CHEEKY good
morning his excellency left the booth.
He returned in a moment with choice
Havanas for the election board, an
nouncing the weeds were the best he
could get in English's.' No one had
followed Governor Fort up to noon
The Governor voted for the five amend
ments
The same small vote was reported
elsewhere, the exception to h general
rule being a voting precinct where halt
a hundred citizens showed any interest
in the first six hours of balloting.
