BOY HAS THRILLING FI46T
Observation-Disclosures

Connersville, Ind, Aug. L.
A thrilling snake story, which
has the virtue of being true, is
found in the experience o f
Frank Thomas, the thirteen.
year old con of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed. Thomas of Waterloo town
ship.
The boy killed thick black
snake. about four feet long, be.
side an old house in a cornfield
near his home a few days age.
Last evening he was passing
the same place, propelling a
wheelbarrow, when something
cold Slid across his bare right
foot. He put down the whee''.
barrow, and as he did 80 he felt
something coil around his leg,
and a moment later he saw the
head of snake moving near
his waist.
The boy screamed but no one
could hear him. A moment
later the snake drew it's coils
tight around his leg and began
striking at his waist and thighs,
darting its tongue all the while.
The trousers he wore were
stoutly made and the snakes
teeth did not reach his skin.
In the fight the boy caught the
reptile about the neck with his
right hand, unwound it from
his leg with his left, threw it
from him and fled through the
corn to his home.
The boy told the story to his
parents and at first they were
inclined to doubt it, but his
nervous condition showed be.
You'd doubt that something was
wrong. They undress Kim and
around the right leg bright red
marks left by the snakes coils,
were plainly visible. 1t is sup
posed the snake that attacked
the boy was the mate of the
one he had killed.

rNTER1s1.AND RATES.

The matter of application of inter
state commerce rules to the interisland
steamship traffic here is one that viii
be taken up by local business men dur
ing the coming week. The subject has
been little discussed here. The expires
sions so far are by those who think
that the application of the law would
cause a reduction of rates, and favor
the proposition on that ground, as a
saving to the travelling public and an
aid to the "small farmer" movement.
1t is claimed by some and was urged
in congress that it is impossible for
small producers to get their goods to
market without paying rates which eat
up all chance of profit. The main argu-
ment advanced in congress against the
measure applying the interstate laws,
