FLAMES DESTROY
GRAIN ELEVATORS

Baltimore, July 2.-Lightnine
struck the roof of one of the several
big grain elevators at the Baltimore
& Ohio railroads tedminals at Lo.
Gust Point and in few minutes the
immense structure was in flames.
Although deluged by rain in the
terrific storm prevailing, the flames
spread rapidly. Nearly the entire
city fire department, including fire
boats, was quickly at work, but the
fire continued to spread, soon en-
veloping elevators B and C and pier
5, all of which were wrecked. The
elevators contained over 100000
bushels of grain which, with 60 car
loads of export tobacco on the pier
was destroyed. The railroad COM
pany's loss is estimated at between
$3,200,0OO and $4,OOO,0O0. Several
fremen were injured or overcome. by
heat and smoke. :"
The American Sugar Refining COM

property on the south waterfront
were untouched. Anumber of
freight cars were burned. Several
vessels were scorched before they

WOMAN BATTLES
WITH ROBBER

Mrs. Ethel Harmon, wife of DIR. S
E. Harmon, fired several shots at q
masked robber last night shortly af-
ter 1O o'clock at the Harmon home
1870 Sumter street. Mrs. Harmon
hred one shot as the man opened a
door and looked into the room and
the bullet hit the door facing. The
intruder ran down the steps and the
brave woman sent another bullet that
plowed its way through the rear
screen door. Running to a window,
Mrs. Harmon saw the robber going
around the house and she fired shot
at him as he was making a getaway.
Detectives Kelly and Allen responded
to the call and they were given the de-
tails of the attempted robbery.
Officers said the robber entered the
house by breaking glass panel in a
door and turning the inside knob on
the lock. The appearance of a room
on the first floor showed that the
thief had inspected everything there
before he proceeded to the second floor
where members of the family had re-
tired for the night. Mrs. Harmon said
she heard noise in room across the
hallway and when she looed out of
!, her room she saw a man wearing a
mask peep out of door. She said she
fired point blank at the form and he
said in "bluffing" tone, "Hand me
your pistol. It's woman and I will
get rid of her." Mrs. Harmon stood
her ground and the man made a dash
for the staircase. She stepped into
the hallway and sent another bullet in
the direction of the fugitive. The lead
en- ball bored hole through the screen
door through which the robber made
an exit.
Mrs. Harmon made a good guess
when she thought that the man would
run around the south side of the
dwelling. She ran to a window and
arrived there at the time the robber
was almost Immediately under the
window. She fired another shot and
watched the bold thief as he disap.
peared in the darkness. City detec-
tives were called to the home but they
found mo evidence Of the robber hav.
ing been injured. The officers said
the bullet marks in the house showed
that Mrs. Harmon had taken delib.
crate aim and fortune smiled on the

robber and it is not known if he was
white or black.

MCCORMICK BOY
BROWNS in RIVER

Mccormick, July 2.-Albert Free
land, the l8 year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. M. G. Freeland of Plum
Branch, was drowned about o'clock
this afternoon while in bathing with
number of his chums in the Sayan-
nah river at the old Ferguson ferry,
about four miles from Plum Branch.
The young man, in company with
several Of his friends, had walked
about three miles to the river 10 go
in swimming in water very little over
his head and only a few feet away
from one of his friends, whom he
caught as he was sinking. The
friend, believing that the drowning
boy was only diving and playing,
made no effort to save him. The
young man nearest Freeland stated
that he thought Freeland was only
playing at the time and when Free
land caught him he was almost ex-
hausted and he also came near be-
ing drowned.
The water at this point is very
swift, and, although relatives and
friends were soon notified and the
river for some distance down had
been secured at dark, tonight the
body of the drowned man had not
been found and it is thought that it
was carriei down the river ahead of
the searching party.
The Ferguson ferry has been aban-
doned for some years as a ferry and
the road leading to the landing has
reached such stage that travel upon
it is almost impossible and this ac-
counts for the crowd of searchers
not reaching the scene sooner. The
searching party will continue to-
morrow in their efforts to find the
body.

ALL FEAR SNAKES
Members of Uncle Sans For.
eStry Service Protected.
Never Without Antidote That Is Said
to Render Bite of Even the
Rather lnnocuous.

Uncle Sans forestry service is ever
on che watch against rattlesnakes in
the national forests. Arrangements
were some time ago perfected for the
arming of forest officers and freight
ers against snake bites.
The weapon provided for them is a
small combination tool containing a
sharp steel lancet and receptacle to
hold permanganate Of potash, which
is declared to be the best antidote for
snake bites. This remedy may not be
altogether popular in districts where
from time immemorial the old-time
favorite remedy, whisky, is held to
have no equal, but, nevertheless, the
official sanction has been given per-
manganate.
The necessity for furnishing forest
officers with adequate means Of pro-
lection against attacks by snakes has
time and again been strikingly demon
strated in the case of big forest fires.
After the fires were thought extin-
guished and the men withdrawn it was
discovered that the fire had broken out
again. Squads Of men were dispatched
Immediately to fight them and on their
way they ran into regiment or two
Of rattlesnakes. In one case it seemed
as if the brush was literally alive with
snakes. The men consumed the greater
part of six hours fighting snakes be-
fore they could get through to the fire.
Several of the men were bitten.
Officials Of the forestry service as
sert that rattleSnakeS are as plentiful
in Montana as in southern California
forests and in sections of the southern
Appalachians, acquired in 1915 under
the Weeks law.
The little tool with which the forest
guards are armed can be carried con-
veniehtly in the vest pocket being
only q trifle larger than an ordinary
fountain pen and not as long. Indl-
vidual employees Of the United States
Geological Survey have been using
these little tools for long time and
with great success.
Field parties of biologists frequently
run across snakes. If armed with
these vest pocket first-aid instruments,
q bitten man quickly opens up the
wound with the lancet, shakes in lit
tie of the antidote and resumes his
work, apparently none the worse for
the attack.
Timber survey crews of the forestry
service frequently battle with snakes.
1t is believed that they have the worst
time of all in this relation.
