DRlNk-cRAzED MAN, WITH MIND

The fact that he was too drunk to
shoot straight is all that prevented
Jesse Rnehart from committing
murder Friday noon at the Simpkins
livery barn on West Ohio avenue, say
the police, when he fired several shots
at Archie LaFever, who is employed
at the barn.
laFeVer was in the office of the
barn when Rinehart approached and,
standing outside the door, opened fire,
two bullets striking the door case. AS
he ran from the office, Rinehart pur-
sued him and fired several more shots
all Of which went wide of the mark.
officer McEIroy answered the call
at the mayors office and hastened to
the scene in the patrol wagon. Rine-
hart made no resistance to arrest be-
yond giving the officer a cursing and
threatening to make him "pay for it,"
The trouble between Rinehart and
LaFever is said to have started Thurs
day evening when Rinehart, who had
been drinking heavily for several
days, asked him to get him some
Whiskey. LaFever refused and Rine-
hart is said to have threatened his
life, but was finally persuaded to go
to his home on East Ohio avenue.
Working himself into a drunken
frenzy Friday thinking of the quarrel
is probably what induced Rinehart to
make the attempt to fulfill his threat

TURTLE HUNTING;
finger IS Seized
BY COPPERHEAD
CHAMPION THRUsTs HAND IN
RIVER HOLE; WITHDRAWs 1T
IN PAIN AND FINDS VENOM.
Gus SNAKE ArTAcHEp-vsRY
ILL.

While hunting for turtles near
Gambler a few days ago Alfred Cham
pion, 400 East Pleasant street, met
with a painful and unusual injury.
Mr.. Champion thrust bis arm into a
hole in the river bank just above the
water line and something seized his
little finger, biting it severely. Mr..
Champion hastily withdrew his arm
and with it brought to light a large
copperhead snake which still retained
its hold on his finger with the ten
acity of bulldog. One of his COM
panions choked the reptile until its
jaws loosened and then dispatched it.
The snake measured nearly three
and one-half feet in length which is
considered quite large for this species
of reptiles.
The victim Of the bite hastened to
physician and had the wound treat
ed. He has been very i'll since the
accident as result of the venom in.
tected into the wound, but it is not
thought that the bite will prove
fatal.
The copperhead snake is one of the
most poisonous reptiles found in this
section of the United States and, un.
like most venomous snakes, is quite
aggressive and quick in its move.
ments. The reptiles are frequently
found in the eastern part of Knox
county but Of late years very few
cases of persons being bitten by them
have been reported.
Their venom is said to be more
dealy than that of the rattlesnake
and they are more feared because of
the fact that rattler gives a warning
signal before attacking. A copper
head is usually more inclined to stay
and fight than to avoid conflict with
human being, as is the case with a
rattler.
Many cases Of horses and other
livestock being bitten are on record
and in most instances the bite has
proved fatal. 1t is said that even il
the animal survive the bite it is nev-
er of any value, as its system seems
to be filed with the poison and is sub
ject each year to an attack of sick
ness similar to that Immediately fol-

After Being Apparently Dead

DROWNED WHILE SWIMMING
TWO COMPANIONS DIVE FOR

DROWNED MAN.

To all appearances dead for a per
iod of 10 minutes, Edward Llewellyr
of Millwood was brought back to lif,
from drowning by the energetic ef
forts OF his companions with whom
he had been swimming Friday even
ing.
In company with several othel
young men, Llewellyn went swim
ming in the Kokosing river just be
low the Millwood dam Friday evenins
and had swan across the river. Whe1
he reached the middle of the stream
on the return trip his strength gave
out and he sank from sight in about
10 feet of water. His horror-stricken
companions made every effort to reach
him, but were unable TO do so and
Llewellyn came to the surface twice
and attempted to swim, but was un
able to do so and sank slowly for the
third time.
Burrell Thompson and Morley Bus
enburg, both excellent swimmers
swan to the spot where the man had
gone down and attempted to rescue
his body by diving. However, it was
fully ten minutes from the time Llew.
ellyn sank until they finally succeed
ed in getting the drowned man to the
shore.
Fortunately, the men knew the
method of procedure in first aid to
the drowned, and they set to work
frantically although without any
hopes of kindling the spark of life
after the victim had been so long un.
der water.
After several minutes of work, how.
ever, the drowned man showed signs
of returning life and their efforts
were redoubled.
A physician, who was summoned
from Howard, arrived just as Llew
ellyn had returned to consciousness
and he was removed to his home il
the physicians automobile.
Saturday morning Llewellyn wa:
| able to appear on the streets of Mill
wood without showing any serious
effects of the terrifying and unusua
experience he had been through.
Llewellyn said Saturday that he
could not account for the fact that
his strength gave out, as he is an ex
ceptionally good swimmer and the
sensations of weakness cannot be ac
counted for. He said that he was
conscious when he went down for the
third time and realized that he was
drowning. 81 never expected to see
Millwood again." said Llewellyn Sat
