With terror written large on their
countenances two young men who had
been up the river In q canoe vowed
that they had caught view OF an i'm
mense boa constructor. They say the
snake was about eighteen feet long and
as large around as mans body. The
monster had been in the river, they de-
clare, and 1t was just emerging from
tie water at the east bank and started
to climb t>ee when the young men
caught their first view Of it. ParalyZed
with fright they were unable to move
for a few moments. After recovering
from the shock which the reptile pro-
duced, they hurriedly rowed away. The
young men say they believe 1t Is the
same boa that was reported few
weeks ago at Adel. The monsters eyes
flashed like balls Of fire and it opened
its mouth as &c &c swallow mig. sheen
or other toothsome morsel.

It has just become known here that
Councilman James Downs, OF this city,
has been made to feel the presence Of
tho new city administration under the
guidance Of our preacher mayor. Last
week he was arrested by one OF the po-
lice officers and tried before the mayor
and fined on the charge Of fast driving.
There Is a peculiar coincidence In this
connection. Councilman Downs was the
running mate Of Mayor Caul at the last
election, they being the only two cam
di .ates on the independent ticket. and
Downs IS the fret Of any OF the Vim
ton people to be tried before the mayor
On a similar charge. Councilman
Downs is lover of fine horses. and
likes to see them trot. The affair has
caused no little anlusen ent among diff
r-rent people Mayor Caul. in his two
and one-half months administrators,
has tried over thirty cases and levied
as many fines. The fines so far collected
viii exceed over one-half Of the total
Of the last years administration,
