TELEPHONE OPERATOR FRIGHT.
ENED ALMOST TO DEATH At
TULLAhoAaA

TULLAHOMA, Tenn, JMly IL
Frightened almost to death the tele-
phone operator and her assistant
called the city policeman about 1
o'clock this morning to come down
town at once that some terrible wild
animal was tearing up the streets.
Coming down on run the police
man could hear the awful believing,
but could not locate its source. Get
ting the watchman at the railroad
station and one of the night men at
the power plant, more thorough
search was started. The sound seem
cd to come at times from the back
of the stores, then from the inside
ard then farther down the street,
and sounded as if bull had been
hurt or was entangled in some thing.
Finally all decided that the producer
of the below. was in the store where
the bull snake or boa had escaped in
the morning. The proprietor was
telephoned for, doors opened and
lights turned on. In theg center of
the floor was the big bull snake,
which was shot by the policeman.
The snake was seen by hundreds of
peopel today, measured eight feet
long and six inches through and
weighed thirty-fve pounds. Some
politicians say it was first to call the
big Bull Moose party.

SPOKE AT THE COURT
HOUSE LAST NIGHT
HURDLES THE BACK TAX QUES-
TlOE AND SAYS THE PLAT
FORM WILL SUIT HIM.
WILL SWALLOW ANYTHING
Devotes Most of His Time to De-
fense of His Four Years in the Gov
ernor's Chair and criticises Pres
ton and Gov. Hooper.

Without touching the back tax
question and without particulars as
to the enforcement of the law, and
with the major portion of his time
devoted to his four years as COVER
nor, Hon. Benton McMillin spoke at
the courthouse Tuesday night.
The audience was small, perhaps
as many as two hundred, but 1t was
responsive to the governors speech
At various intervals. He brought
forth the most applause, however,
when he answered Mr.. Preston with
regard to the business qualifications
Of the governors OF the state for the
past forty years, and during his crit
ieisms of Gov. Hooper's administers
lion. The liquor question waes left
to be dealt with by the platform max
ers, and the speaker said he would
willingly accept it whatever 1t con-
tanned.
Mr. McMillin was presented By w.
@. Witherspoon, the present deputy
circuit court clerk, in a rather
lengthy introduction, and at once
proceeded to explain the principles
,of Jeffersonian democracy.
He referred to the division In the
party in 1880. in 1896 and in 1910.
The speaker stated that the division
came in 1880 on the state debt: In
1896 on the money question, and in
1870 on a moral question, and that
when the whisky question was made
a political issue the democratic par
Ity lost and made Ben Hooper COVER
nor.
Answering Mr.. Preston's charge
that Tennessee has not had COVER
nor with any extensive business ex-
perience for forty years Mr.. McMil-
lin was at times rather sarcastic, and
said that If what he (the speakerl
had done toward the payment Of the
state debt and other obligations OF
the state during his terms as gov
ernor had made no impression on Mr..
| Preston then he was too big for gov
crnor and ought to run for president.
In vein of sarcasm he stated that
the citizens of the state ought to in
sure Preston's life to the limit, as
the state would suffer very material
| ly should the Chattanooga candidate
happen to die before the election. Il
Touching the real things that re-
Tally interested the voters the candi-
date stated that he favored more in
dustrials schools, and thought that it
would have been much more practi-
cal If the state had established one
great school OF technology instead Of
expending the funds for three normal
schools.
When he reached the point where

istration MI. McMillin took up a com

AVIATION MEET
BE Held IN RENO
next MONTH

Reno is to have an aviation meet
just like the other progressive cities
along the coast Arrangements
were perfected in San Francisco
yesterday by which Reno is to be
treated to some stirring aerial
stunts by some of the crack flyers
who have startled the spectators
at Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The affair will open on Friday,
March Sth, at the State Fair
grounds and will last three days.
! Friday will be devoted to an ex-
hibition and trials, while on Sat
urday and Sunday, March 8 and
10 there will be some sensational
flights.
Such wel-known aviators as Par
malice, Kearney and Fish will fly.
They have made a contract guar
lanteeing a flight and the flight will
be OF a sensational character. Fish
is the 17-year-old lad who made
everyone gasp in the last two meets
at Los Angeles and San Francisco.
He is the youngest aviator who has
entered the professional class and
his flying has attracted attention
far and wide on account of its dar-
ing features.
Miss Scott. the woman aviator,
will come along too, but whether
she flies or not will depend on
! weather conditions. 1t is recognized
among aviators that it is far more
difficult to rise here than at a
$ lower altitude. The of bringing the
: machines to Reno will be 5000
alone.
: A general admission fee of so
a cents is to be charged for entrance
to the park and to the grandstand.
J. F. Payne had an interview
with the management of this trio in
: San Francisco on Tuesday and he
D will be identified with the under
taking, but not from a financial
: point of view. He is simply to
0 represent the aviators' management
until Mr. Ferris, who has charge OF
