COUNTY DADS SUED
FOR DAMAGES
RAvALli COMMISSIONERS Al.
LEGGED 70 HAVE LEFT sRIpoE
IN BAD CONDITION.

Hamilton, July 20. - Especially -
Probably the first damage suit brought
against q board Of county commits
sioners In the state as a result Of the
recent decision Of the supreme court
70 the effect that the members of the
board OF county commissioners were
personally liable for injuries resulting
from accidents caused by neglect Of
duty In connection with the care Of.
county highways was started In the
district court here this afternoon. when
Mary Catherine Calk brought suit
against Benjamin Oertli. o. G. Cooper.
John Treece and Joseph Appolonio
for $25,000 Mr.. Oertli is road super
visor Of district No. IL. while the other
defendants were members Of the board
OF commissioners in 1909, the year in
which the accident mentioned In tho
complaint occurred.
In June of 1909 the high water
washed away the north half of the
bridge across the Skalkaho creek on
the main road to Darby and about
three miles from the city. The COM
plant alleges that no proper effort
was made by Road Supervisor Oertli
to warn the people of danger and that
the bridge was allowed to remain in
that condition until August 3, on which
date the accident took place. The
complaint also alleges that the COM
missioncrs met following the going out
Of the bridge and were. informed OF
the dangerous condition Of the place.
The complaint goes on to state that
the plaintiff while riding In an auto
mobile driven by o. l.. Beardsly about
10 O'Clock the evening of August 3,
1909, and going In a northerly direc-
tion. the machine plunged off the edge
OF the bridge into the creek bottom,
the heavy automobile turning turtle
and pinning the plaintiff to the
ground. As q result of the accident.
the plaintiff alleges that she suf-
fered permanent injury to her hip and
back which kept her on crutches for
more than a year. She also alleges in
jury to her nervous system and mind.
Because OF her injuries she asks
judgment against the defendants for
$4,000 and costs. George Y. Padden
of Bozeman and j. -. Taylor of this
city appear az attorneys for the plain
tiff. t.
Inc accttent aroused considerable
excitement here at the time 1t occurred
and there was talk that a suit would
be brought against the county. This
was not done because of the non -liabil :
ity of a county In such cases. The re-
cent decision of the supreme court In
regard TO the liabilities of county COM
missioners paved way for the bring
Ing Of the suit. Mrs. Beardsley. who
was an occupant of the Kissel kar
when It took It's plunge, has been In
this city for several weeks.

SOMETHING ABOUT SNAKES

The family Of Mr.. \. VI. Lansford
was considerably upset to find snake
in the pantry Of their home on South
Third street Saturday. The reptile
was a highland mOccasin, and proba-
bly, entered the house in search for
eggs, for which all snakes are raw
enously eager. L was soon killed. but
Mr.. and Mrs. Lansford couldn't help
being nervous the remainder Of the
day. whenever they thought how close
.their~ little two-year-oId boy had
passed several times to the snake.
In a city the size Of OcaIa, it isn't
an uncommon thing for snakes 10
come into town and rob hens nests,
and they enter houses sometimes. tho
not often In the case Of a black
snake, which isn't poisonous. there is
no danger, but any other snake is like
lily to be a very disturbing factor
lCoachwhips are not poisonous, but
they are pugnaciOus, and a large one
| is a dangerous enemy for a woman or
child. Kingsnakes are neither poison
Gus nor vicious. but they are seldom
| seen in the country. let alone the
| town. All these snakes, however, are
great enemies Of venOmOus snakes, as
we'll as rats and mice and shOuldn't
! be killed unless it is necessary. Any
body can pick up a blacksnake or a
kingsnake without harm, but a coach
whip will wrap around and crush, if it
can, anything that approaches it too
closely. As some Of them are six feet
in length, and the body Of each is one
steel-like muscle, they are dangerous
enemies The rattlesnake is proba-
bly, the only snake in the country that
carries enough poison to kill grown
and healthy man, but moccasins and
adders, and even the little garter and
tree snakes, are venomOus enough to
be srery dangerous and even deadly to
a weaker person.
/ For some unknown reason, there
have been more snakes than usual
seen in Ocala this fall, but the vista
ton is not likely to be permanent. The
fact that hogs are the mortal enemies
of snakes, and hogs are not allowed in
the town, may have something to dc
with it. Hogs are generally imper-
vious to snakebites, probably from
some popularity Of their circulation
which does not carry the poison fal
from the spot striker. y rattlesnake
which will fight anything else in the
world, will run away from a hog.

Because II it wasn't for the said doc

overcrowded nations of Europe to

Germans, French and Italians would
make better use of the natural re-
sources Of South and Central America
than the present inhabitants. Because

Argentine, Brazil and Chile do not need
the Monroe Doctrine to protect them
