PET RATHER Dimes
like SUFFRACETTE
Prof. Roberts Pokes Dainties
Down Snakes Throat Like
Ramming Gun.

Professor H. L. Roberts, expert ZOO
logist and snake-ologist at the Normal
School. has given his pet rattlesnake,
Steak" his quarterly meal and as a
result, the reptile is squirming and
writhing about his cage with truly
Merry Christmas and 4 Happy New
Year spirit.
STEAK" objects to eating voluntar-
lily. Choice mOrsels, that is to say.
morsels that would be choice for a
snake, such as living mice, sparrows,
and other birds have been placed in
Steaks" cage and they have gone
untouched
He would let a piece of prepared
meat rot, the professor remarked in
telling of Steaks" idiosyncracies.
when I feed him, I literally stuff
him. Many snakes in captivity have
to be stuffed, and they arc kept alive
in that way"
The professor simply graSps the
RATHER back of the head, pinches hard
enough to force the snakes jaws apart
and rams the meat down the reptiles
throat, much as a Civil War veteran
chokcd shot and powder down his muz-
zlc loader.
The snake always feels grouchy for
a short time after having been
rammed full of good things to eat.
"Hc takes it like an English suf-
fragette," the professor said.
Professor Roberts got "Steak" over
in Illinois two years ago and in that
time he has fed him about 10 times.
He always has resented food, since he
made the professors acquaintance and
he ever attempted to nip his master
with his sharp fangs.
Professor Roberts this last fall got
a hitler of 10 spreading adders that
were Matched out on school teachers
desk at Oak Ridge. He got the snakes
when they were only baby snakes and
proposed rearing them in a civilized
manner.
They refused to eat and their hun
ger strike was incontrovertible for the
reason that they were too small to
stuff Two of them died, so the pro-
fessor "pickled" the rest of them and
now has the spreading ladders on ex-
hibit at the Normal School.
He declares that the spreading adj
ders are harmless, contrary to the i'm
preston 1tehl by many persons that
their bite is deadly poison. They will
not bite if given Il chance, the pro-
fessor says.
The adder "plays possum" Profess
sor Roberts declares also. This is a
feature of the spreading adder's pecu-
iiarities that he learned from expe-
rience. The snakes flop over on their
backs and play dead with much ex-
pertness and they likewise will resist
any attempt to roll them back upon
their stOmaChs.

NIKE SULLIVAN REPORTED
ALIVE AND IN COLLINSVILLE
News Item from Home of His Wife's
Parents Says Mike and His Wife
are Visiting There.

Evidence strengthening the belief
by his friends that Mike Sullivan did
not commit suicide by jumping into
the river at ST. Louis as he declared
in suicide letters he intended to do, has
been brought out through the publica-
ton in a st. Louis newspaper Sunday
of a ColIinsvill,, social item.
The item said that Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
=. Sullivan were visiting Mr.. and Mrs.
August Talenski, Mrs. SuIlivan's pa
rents. Mike is supposed to have killed
himself about 10 days ago.
A newspaper in Glenn Falls, New
York, Mikes former home, also de-
clares that his relatives there have
heard from him.
None of Mrs. Sullivan's most init
mate friends in the Cape have heard
from her since she visited here short
ly after her husbands disappearance
and if she has found him and they are
visiting at her parents home, she has
never said word to people in the
Cape.
Following his disappearance, it has
become known that A. VI. Tinsley, to
whom Mr.. Sullivan owed considerable
money, has had an investigation made
of the circumstances of his disap-
pearance that may uncover more data
that will lead to his actual discovery.

HIST! POLICE BEGIN
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Chief Hutson Calls Meeting And
Makes A Speech On Need
For Harmony.

Chief of Police Hutson yesterday
afternoon poured some oil on the
troubled water in the police force. The
"oil" was in the nature of salve, or,
conversation.
Chief HutSon is being accused of
making pet Of Patrolman Beeve The
other policemen object to Beeve being
permitted to sleep and play pool in
the Elks Club while they are forced to
walk beats. The policemen feel that
if Chief Hutson is willing to permit
Beeve to sleep in the Elks Club and
draw salary for it, he ought to make
arrangements for the other men to
take a nap in the popular club now and
then. They prefer rainy nights, it is
said
Mr.. Hutson is anxious, he says, that
the men work in harmony. In order to
bring this condition about, he sum-
moned Patrolmen Beeve, Groce, Tai
ley, and Whitener to the courthouse
yesterday afternoon for tete-a-tete,
or in other words, a peace meeting.
Chief Hutson invited Mayor Rage
to be present, and he came. Each po-
liceman was asked to state how he felt.
Three out of the four informed the
mayor that they had been ignored by
the chief for weeks at a time.
Mr. Hutson automatically stated
that he wanted peace He occupied
about the same position that Henry
Ford has in Europe. In other words,
he was merely drifting.
When the policemen were excused,
the question of how one policeman is
permitted to sleep on duty while the
others work, remained as much of a
mystery as it was to the three police
men when they filed into the court
house for the conference.
81 suppose each policeman will soon
be compelled to carry set of fiddle
de-winks while on duty" said one of
patrolmen last night.

SAYS 3 MEN TRESPASSED.
'Dick" Spaulding Has Negroes Ar
rested for Hunting on His
Farm

Justice of the Peace w. H. Willer
this afternoon will hold the prelimi-
nary hearing for three negroes who
are charged with hunting on the
premises of a farmer who had posted
sign "No Hunting Allowed" And
he alleges they intruded upon his
land in spite of the sign.
The men were arrested yesterday
morning by Deputy Sheriff Seagraves.
Two of them, Henry Johnson and
Steve Strong, were placed in Jail in
default of bond, and the third, Louis
Davis, gave a bond of 500 for his
appearance in court.
The warrants against the men were
issued by Judge Willer on the COM
plant of r. o. "Dick" Spaulding, a
farmer who lives about three miles
west of the Cape on the Bloomfield
road. He alleges that the hunting on
his land took place several days ago.
The two negroes who were placed in
Jail yesterday denied that they had
been on Spaulding's farm.

LAWYERS AGREE TO
DELAY WILCOX Case
Action In Circuit Court Ride
Over Kage's Acquit-
tai.

Two of the cases pending in the Cir
cult Court against A. d. Dolly" Will
cox. former cashier of the Bank of
Bloomfield in which he is charged
with embezzling funds belonging to
the bank, will be delayed till the next
term of court when they come up for
lrial on the docket for the January
term.
An arrangement has been made be-
tween the attorneys representing Will
cox. Motley and Woody, and Prescott
ing Attorneys Caruthers and Hodge to
file Il stipulation or agreement to post
ponr the trial of the two cases.
But two of the embezzlement cases
on the Circuit Court docket will be
tried, the third having been dismissed
by Attorney Hodge.
Wilcox was acquitted of the alleged
cmbczzlement when tried before JUS
tice Of the Peace Rage, the Mayor hav-
ing announced his decision in the case
Monday.
Informations, however, had been
filed in the Circuit Court at Jackson
bringing actions on the same counts
there as were brought before the Jus
tee Of the Peace Court. These infor-
nations were filed by Prosecuting At
tolney Caluthers few days after the
warrants for Wilcox'S arrest were is
sued by Judge Willer last fall, in con-
ncction with his trial in the Justice
Of the Peace Court.
The cases that will be tried against
Wilcox charge that he cashed two
checks aggregating more than $1,000
against the Bank of Bloomfield at the
First National Bank in the Cape. The
checks were cashed three years ago
last fall
Actions were brought in the Circuit
Court in Stoddard County against Will
cox on these cases. which were appeal
ed to the Supreme Court where they
were reversed.
When Mayor Rage gave his decis-
ION, he cited as one cOntributory rea-
son that the statute of limitations had
run upon the charges.
Caruthers yesterday declared that
informations had been filed against
Wilcox last fall in plenty Of time to
be within the statute and in addition,
he declared that the statute of limita-
lions did not operate in the Wilcox case
three years after the date after the
checks were cashed.
Charges had been preferred, the
cases were tried and stood in the Su-
preme Court. All lifetime that suits
were pending, CaruthcrS said, would
be substracted from the three year pc
rOd. which would have the effect of
extending the period in which actions
could be brought by the extent of time
that the suits were pending in any
court.
In this way, the statute has not
nearly run its course in these cases.
CarutherS declares.
