RATTLESNAKE BITE
 NOT FATAL TO WOMAN

KINGMAN, Sept. S.-Standing on the body of rattler while it was sinking it's fangs into her leg, was the experience of Mrs. Ada Chapman at her home on the Big Sandy last evening. She and her husband had gone into the back yard in the dusk of the evening and while moving around she stepped on a rattlesnake. The reptile struck her several times on the leg, her husband standing helplessly nearby. He immediately cut open the wound and sucked tho poisoned blood from it. Dr. Petty was hurriedly called from Kingman and Ed. Laferriere arrived with him at the ranch by midnight. The good woman is recovering and no serious effects are anticipated. Mrs. Chap man is daughter of Henry Bacon, and as a strange coincidence it was year ago yesterday that he lost his son by drowning near Blackberry.

GIRL TAKES HIGH DIVE
 WITH HER FORD CAR,

SNOWFLAKE, Sept. 9.-Miss Ruth Jennings, of Taylor, drove her Ford car over the river bank near the bridge at that place Wednesday with almost fatal results.
 The Jennings family left their home in the eastern part of the town for ride to the store and postoffice Arriving there they alighted and Miss Beth, who was driving the car, was dispatched home for letter that was left behind that had to be posted. She started off hurriedly and as she neared the bridge the car became uncomfortable and made a few short turns, first to the left and then to the right, and over to the river bottom, about 12 feet below. The car landed in the mud and wa ter upside down with the fair driver pinioned underneath. She was soon rescued by spectators and passers-by and taken from under the wrecked car, badly bruised and bleeding, but with no fatal injuries.
