JASPER AUGUSTINE
ENCOUNTERED SNAKE
Big Reptile of New Species Sprang at
Buggy and Wound around Wheel.

Addison, May 2I.-Startled by
a huge snake which sprang out
from the roadside and wrapped
itself around the wheel of their
buggy and stopped the wheel S
revolution, Jasper Augustine of
Uniontown and his son John had
rather thrilling experience which
occurred Thursday when they
were driving from the Augustine
country home near Addison to
Confluence, where Jasper boarded
the train to return to Uniontown.
The snake was about five feet
long and had a body very thick
and heavy. The two men were
driving down hill and suddenly
the snake jumped from a little
ditch and coiled itself around the
wheel and its great strength and
weight almost stopped the buggy.
John struck the reptile with his
whip several heavy blows and the
horse pulled the the buggy ahead
and with the snakes ENHANCEMENT
in the wheel and the beating from
Johns whip its life was cut short.
This snake was of new species
that no one around Addison re-
members having seen before two
years ago. However quite num-
Der of them have been seen in the
last two years, but no one has been
bitten by them and it is not known
whether their bite is poisonous or
not. They are usually from four
and a half to FIVE feet in length
and are very thick. They have
a red head, green eyes, short legs
and web feet and are great jumpers,
usually spring eight or ten feet.
These reptiles seem to be vicious
and will jump at any person or
object that comes near them. Two
years ago one of them jumped at
Jasper Augustine's son Ross and
caught his trousers near the knee
and chung there tenaciously and
the boy ran two miles before he
was able to get the snakes hold
released. Addison people are
wondering what kind of snakes
these are and are on the watch to
guard against them.

has always been looked upon in
Washington, as person Of some
consideration simply because it
was known that he was a power in

As politician, Lorimer's strong
faculty has been combination,

and confusion of his opposition.

law passed he was always able to
control vast Democratic vote in
the Republican primaries came
around Lorimer Republicans would
assist the Democrats in turn, in
naming candidates satisfactory to
the managers of both parties,
Lorimer has had many ups and
downs. But for man who began
as an immigrant from England,
never had any book education, and
has been streetcar conductor, small
contractor and everything else on
the way up, she has done right

TO REALIZE MORE
FROM COAL LAND.
New Plan for Disposing of Govern
ment Property is Announced.

Washington, May "a new
plan for the disposal of the coal
lands on the public domain of the
United States, that will net more
than twice the former returns to
the government was announced by
Secretary Ballinger of the depart
ment of the interior today. The
prices of the coal lands bought by
the United States, except Alaska,
which is governed by a different
law, have been increased all along
the line.
The plan announced today is
expected to end the dispute start
ed by the withdrawal by President
Roosevelt of $4,000, 900 acres of
coal land in the west. 1t is a
further development of the CLASH
fication plan set in action by for
mer Secretary of the Interior
James R. Garfield and is to be
carried out in more accurate and
scientific lines. The Ballinger
plan will secure to the government
more than ten times the amount
of money secured by the sale OF
coal lands before Garfield went in
to office.
Secretary Ballinger has had the
coal lands on the public domain
classified with reference to both
the quality and quantity of coal un-
derlaying the soil. They will be
sold on this basis, with the pre-
yaling royalties per ton that are
usually paid private owners as a
fundamental price.
The coal lands which were with
drawn by Secretary Garfield are
being examined by experts Of the
geological survey as fast as their
values is determined.
The present ruling will increase
the price of the most valuable
coal lands from 500 per acre,
under the Garfield plan, to more
than $500 per acre under the
Ballinger plan.
Before Garfield took Office, all
coal land were sold at the mini
mum provided by law, not lower
than $40 and not higher than SIC
per acre. Coal lands worth mil.
lions of dollars were disposed Of
under this lamp.
