VETERAN FIRE HORSE DIED
 WHILE DOING HIS DUTY
When the Motor Ambulance Refused to Go, "Old Gray" Was Called on
 Co Safe q Life and Died at End.

Dallas, Tex. July 24-"Old Cray died as policeman should--in the harness.
 Although he had been only a pen sioner for years he responded in an emergency and gave his life to save womans.
 The automobile ambulance was out of commission at Central station when the police received a call to rush Mrs. Mary Heating, heat yic- tim, to the hospital.
 Old Gray" the veteran patrol horse, spending his declining years in ease and comfort in a vacant stalf
 of the fire station next door, was hitched to the old horse ambulance
 Perhaps the ancient nag wished to prove to the men who had discarded him that if not as fast as an auto mobile, he could still perform his duty. For "0ld Gray made rec ord run.
 But the unwonted exertion and the heat proved too much for him. Just as the ambulance dashed up to- the hosDital--in time to save the womon's life-"Old Grey dropped dead.

FOUGHT FOR LIFE
 WITH BIC RATTLER
]. W. Wheatly at keough, Ok, Has Thrilling Battle With a 716-FOot Reptile-Snake Gave Chase
 When Discovered.

Muskosee. Ok. July 24-The story of struggle to the death be- tween rattlesnake and J. w. Wheatly, of Kansas City, Kas., at Keough, ten miles from MGskogee. is thrilling
 The rattler measured seven feet and six inches in length, was brought to Muskogee, stuffed and packed in a crate. Wheatly. who killed the snake after fifteen min utes battle, is employed on a rock crusher at heougn. According to the story told at the city hali where the dead snake was taken, Wheatly encountered the snake as he was on hls way home to dinner. He heard a hisslng noise alongside his path and looked just in time to see the rattler throw back his head to strike. He ran and the snake gave chase. He looked in vain for a weapon but none was in sight.
 Finally Wheatly jumped into a creek. The rattler started into the water and Wheatly made haste to climb out on the further bank. The rattler also swan out. Wheatly grabbed a heavy stick and struck at the rattler. which was becoming desperate. Twice, Wheatly narrow ly escaped the serpent's poisonous fangs. Finally, Wheatly secured a large rock. Taking a good aim. and biding his time, he sent is crashing to the ground. The rock struck the snake just behind the head, and fight was gone. A few more blows with the club finished the serpent.

REHEARING IN WILLIAMS CASE
Supreme Court Held Judge Could Not Set Aside First Judqment.

Little Rock, July 25.-A petition has been filed in supreme court for rehearing in the case of Oscar Will Hams. of Pulaski county. He had been serving a term in connection with the killing of Mrs. Bumpass by an automobile he was driving. He was subsequently, put on the stand as a witness in a case against the owner of the car, but refused to an-- swer questions. The lower court thereupon set aside the Judgment in the original case and sentenced him to six months solitary confinc- ment."
 Upon appeal to the supreme court it was held that the judge had no power to set aside the judgement after the prisoner had begun serv- ing his sentence, and further, that our law recognizes no such pun- ishment as solitary confinement.
 Williams is still in jail, and the petition for a rehearing is filed by the attorney general.
