Here's a Snake Story.

A real snake rarely makes its appear

city baniShed the saloons.
This, however, is the story OF real

On Monday morning Mr.. Neck and
the other clerks in Gays down town
grocery were startled TO see a small rat
tie snake making its way through the
west Lemon street door OF the store.
The snake came across the side walk,
entered the door and started to go be.
hind the counter. The clerks saw it
coming and just as it had turned to go
behind the counter, Thomas, the porter
hit the reptile with a stick and put it out
of business.
The snake was nearly three feet in
length Where il came from is myS-
terry, but il is supposed TO have been en-
closed in one of the numerous big crates
of farm produce standing on the edge OF
the sidewalk.
There is no doubling the genuineneSs
of this snake. Men who saw il and who
will vouch for it have been on the water
wagon for years, and some even grew
TO maturity on that vehicle and have
never seen imaginary snakes. And then
the dead reptile was on exhibition at the
store for several hours and was seen by
many people.

ANOTHER MIX.UP
Coroner and Board Of Health
Disagree Over Burial
Certificates
FORMER QUOTES LAW
TO SUPPORT HIS CASE

Coroner James T. Chandler and the
Board Of Health are at loggerheads
relative to the health board issuing
burial certificates on certificates of
death made out by physicians where
the dead person died following in
iuries received accidentally.
Coroner Chandler contends that
when any person dies after accident
the case is properly one for his office
to investigate, but the Board of Health
makes the contention that such a death
is natural and not coroners case.
The Board of Health, however admits
that if the person died within a short
time after being injured, the case
would rightfully be a corOner's case
and that a certificate from a physician
would not be accepted at the health
office.
Some time ago a man fell down the
stairs of his home in Kirkwood street
and sustained broken neck. He died
several days later and the attending
physician gave a death certificate on
which the Board of Health office is
sued a burial certificate More re-
Gently a man died in the Delaware
Hospital, a week after he had received
burns at the plant Of the DUPONT
Powder Company, and the physician
there issued a certificate of death,
upon which the body was removed
from the hospital by an undertaken
preparatory TO burying. In this case.
as in the other, the coroner said he had
received no official notification of the
death.
Recently Coroner Chandler went
to the Board Of Health Office and re-
/ quested Secretary Malcom Of the
board, to notify him of all certificates
! filed giving unnatural cause of death.
this to be done before the burial cer-
/ tihcate is given.
MIR. Chandler said today that Mr..
! Malcom refused to comply with his
request and he later sent a letter 20
/ the Board of Health containing prac-
ucally the same request and 20 this
he received no answer.
Mr.. Chandler said today that IL
was not particular to hold inquests in
such cases, but he wanted report OF
them so that he could keep his rec
ord straight. He said that he is in
terested in a measure which he hoped
the Legislature would pass. whereby
physicians certificates, particularly
the coroner's physician, would take
the place Of an inquest except where
death has resulted from violence, but
while the present laws are in force
he want them enforced.
I Quotes Law 20 support Him.
Coroner Chandler quoted section a.
chapter %, page No. 264, Revised
Code, which sets forth:
If any person shall cause a body
on which an inquest ought to be held
to be buried without notice TO the
coroner. he shall. (unless a justice OF
