of the regular high school foot ball
team and a picked team among
whom were few of the alumni and
others. The members of this team
were Helmick, France, Neel, Pugh,
Maywald, Schroeder, Baird, Daniels
and Bateman. The score was IA to
0 in favor of the picked team. The
game was largely attended, practic-
ally the entire high school turning
out to see the fray, which was in
tended more for a practice game for
the high school team than anything
else.
The next game will be played next
Saturday at Iowa Falls with the
high school foot ball team of that
place. On Oct. 9th a game will be
played in this city between the high
school team and the East High team

CARTER SNAKE
With TWO HEADS
Captured by Ditcher of This City
While Working on Farm
Near Williams.

A ditcher of this city by the name
of Clodfelter, who has been working
on a farm near Williams, while dig.
ging ditch last week, stepped &C
cidentally on what he supposed was
a garter snake. To his surprise two
heads instead of one reared up and
removing his foot, he found the rep
tile had two heads-one where it
should be and the other on the end
of the tail. He captured the snake
and brought it in glass jar to the
Freeman-Tribune Office and to sew
eral stores where it was exhibited
Friday afternoon to crowds of the
curious who never saw anything like
it. The snake was allowed to crawl
about the floor of the Ziegler & Stow
barber shop and strangely enough
both heads appeared to control it's
movements. The larger head SEEM
ed to have the most control for the
creature would wriggle in that d.
rection longest. All at once it would
remain motionless and then effort
was apparently made to crawl in
two directions at once; the larger
head would finally win out and the
thing would travel longest in that
direction. The smaller head upon
the tail of the snake was like the
larger, having eyes, mouth, tongue,
etc. It is one of the strangest freaks
of nature ever exhibited in this city.

There is a persistent rumor that

to be quite a sufficiency of notion
