SNAKES IN HIS MAIL BOX.
Five Of Them Wriggle Out When
Farmer Opens il.

When August Grosreitg, a farmer
living nine miles from Wells, near St.
Paul, MINI, opened his rural free de-
livery box five snakes darted out, drop
ped and made for the nearest cover.
Mr. Grotskrentz could not doubt the
reality of the vision. He thought OF
the postal regulations forbidding the
sending of livethings, except queen bees
through the mails and then he thought
of three boys, who live about mile
from his place. The later thought was
the better one.
Post Office Inspector Boylan, who in
yestigated the case, could not blame the
snakes They seemed quite ready to
vacate as soon as they could He inter
rogated Theo. Hellman, II years old /;
Andrew Anderson, II years old, and
Harry Cochran, is years old. They ad-
mitted admitting the snakes to the mail
box and promised not to make any
more such presents. according to the
Inspector.
Joel NJ. Dickey, Assistant District At
torney, who was informed of the af-
fair, held that the boys could not be
prosecuted by the United States since
neither they nor the snakes, their
agents, had ''willfuly injured torn down
or destroyed the mail box"
