KILLS SNAKE; SAVES GIRL.
Collie Dies From Poison After Making
Heroic Fight.

Caldwell, N. J.-Don, a collie dog
owned by John Miller of Fairfield ave-
nue., West Caldwell, gave up his life
to save the s~ix-year-old daughter Of
his master from an attack by a copper
head snake. The dog managed to kill
the snake, but died two hours later
from poison.
Agnes Miller and her older sister,
Clara. started out for a romp with
Don. They were making for a small
clump of woods not far from their
home, with the dog close at their heels.
The dog suddenly sprang forward,
gave a growl and leaped upon a good
sized copperhead snake directly I'm the
path of the little girl.
The older girl saw Don tackle the
snake, and she seized her little sister
and pulled her away from the reptile.
Both the girls then ran home as fast
as they could and told their father OF
the adventure. Don got back to the
house, but died soon afterward.
Miss Clara Miller said that IL the dog
had not tackled the snake just ct the
moment her little sister would have
been bitten by the reptile, which vas
not more than three feet from hsr at
the time.

INJURIES
Received by Carl Ward When
Hit on Head with Paiing by
Uncle May Prove Fatal.

Carl Ward, yong man Of Ions

ceived last week when he was hit on

city, his uncle. Ward is seriously I'll
and his relatives and friends are
alarmed over his condition.
The following story is told Of the
occurrence which caused the young

last week. 1t seems that Anthony
Harris was at the home Of his faith
er, Daniel Harris; where Ward and
two of his nieces live. The girls
last name is Harris and they are
cousins of Ward.
1t is alleged that Harris had some
words with one Of his nieces and she
ordered him from the house. He re-
fused to leave and she forced him
into the yard. He Is supposed to have
told her to leave him alone or he
would slap her. Ward Is said Il
have told Harris that II he wanted
to hit anybody to hit a man, and
started towards him. Harris Is al.
legged to have struck Ward with a
paling in which was a nail. The
nail punctured the scalp, but did not
enter the skull. Sunday DR.. E. T,
Wetzel made an examination and
came to the conclusion that the young
