SOMETHING ABOUT SNAKES.

The family of MIR. A. NJ. LansfOrd
was considerably upset to find q
snake in the pantry of their home on
South Third street Saturday. The
reptile was highland moccasin. and
probably entered the house in search
for eggs. for which all snakes are
ravenously eager. 1t 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-old boy
had passed several times to the
snake.

an uncommon thing for snakes to

count for by Even Most
Expert Politicians.

Crown Point, Ind, Nov. THE board
of election commissioners finished up
their long grind of counting and can
vassing the vote of Tuesdays election
about midnight last night and the
totals which appear in THE TINES are
noteworthy 7nIy for the fact that they
show the rn.st erratic kind of balloting
ever recorded in q national election ii
Lake County. The whole method of
balloting for the various candidates is
an enigma 10 the student Of elections
and no one can ascribe a reason for
some of the peculiar combinations re-
veaIed by the totals. More split tickets
were cast this year than ever before
and the fact made plenty of WORK FOR
the canvassing board and clerks.

For the first time since the polls
closed on Tuesday night the result of
the election in Lake County is now
definitely and accurately known. De-
spite the tremendous democratic tidal
wave that swept the land from one
end to the other, the democrats in
Lake County had to take third place
on the state and national tickets.

News that every republican candi-

to get fighting mad this morning.

Mr.. Brennan's first remark. Il shah

Procedure viii be to demand a re-
count from the circuit court judge,
who will name two commissioners
from each party. The court clerk Will
act as secretary of the board and bal
lot boxes throughout the county will
be opened up and counted.
Mr.. Brennan learned with much In
dignation that in one Gary precinct
that 10 ballots bearing his name had
been thrown out
This was inspired by some Of the
officials OF the steel corporation that
have sought to defeat me-" he declared.
Mr.. Brennan was suspicious that some
trading had been done in Hammond.
Another Significant point, his friends
noted. that there were 1000 less coun-
ty ballots than national ones which,
they averred. indicated that many had
bee nthrown out.
