GIRL KILLS SNAKE WITH SIX
TEEN RATTLES

At T. Cameron's jewelry store, at
Lowery's old stand, a rattlesnake hide
seven feet and five inches long, with
out the head, with sixteen rattles in
tact, adorns the wall in the place. The
reptile was shot by a ten-year-old
daughter of Mr.. Shivers of Cocoa. She
was about to go to the pump for a
drink of water when she discovered
the serpent on the same mission. The
child did not develop a case of hys-
terics at the sight of the reptile, but
deliberately returned to the house and
seized a 22-caliber gun, and, stepping
to the door leveled the weapon on the
intruder, and not until she had pour
ed three bullets into its body, one TAX
ing effect in the head. did she desist
in shooting. She skinned the snake,
stretching the hide on a board. Mr..
Cameron has had many offers for the
souvenir, but does not care to part
with it.-Fort Pierce News.

llelsy Loses In Supreme Court

An echo of the election contest
case of Heley VS.. Moody, froin the
1910 election came from tie SUI
spreme court last week when it
handed down decision in an ac-
stion brought by the attorneys Of
The dead sheriff to collect from
GHeley and his bondsmcn the rev.
enue of the Office during the time
that Heley held over, a space of
three months or so.
The bond was given by Heley
to Moody with several sureties
conditioned that if Heley did not
win on the appeal or if the ap-
peal failed for any reason to pay
to Moody the sum of three humid
red dollars per month during the
litigation. An attempt was made
to appeal the case, but it was not
completed and the appeal was
dismissed in the supreme court
and the office turned over to Mr..
MOOuy.
This action was against Heley
and his bondsmen to recover the
three hundred dollars per month
and Heley's attorneys objected on
the ground that the court had no
power to require such a bond and
that the bond was void and that
the sureties ought not to be re-
qiured to pay the amount claimed.
The supreme court held against
Heley on all of these points and
stated in the opinion that after
Heley had the benefit of the bond
even though enormously given,
he could not urge a defense that
It was void.
This decision will probably end
the litigation as settles the law
points raised in the action and
the giving of the bond is not a
disputed fact.

Here is play and performance
