John ". Beatrice Outdistanced Hart, But Arm of the Law
 Is Long

PAYS ELECTION BET
William Coates Pushes Peanut Along
 Plainville Street But With Special
 Apparatus Which Makes Job Easy
Especial to the Herald.)

Plainvllle. Nov. 10.-Despite the fact that William Coates suddenly decided to pay his freak election bet with Oscar Hutenis on Saturday aft ernoon at 3 o'clock instead of Sun day morning at o'clock, large gathering of people witnessed the feat of rolling" the peanut from the railroad station to the post office, but the victory rests with Coates in- stead of Hultenis, although the lat ter was the winner. Coates bet that John w. Davis would be elected president and Hultenis picked Cool idge. The penalty for the loser was to be the humiliating job of rolling a peanut with a pencil from the Plainville railroad station to the @post office building.
 Coates decided that he would pay the bet and stated that 3 o'clock Sunday morning would be an appro- priate hour for the display of cour- age This was changed to Saturday afternoon and when 1t was noised abroad that the bet would be paid that afteroon, q large crowd collect ed to watch the performance.
 With ease, Coates started and with ease he finished and many wondered if he had practiced In secret. The solution is easily explained when it becomes known that before the hour for the payment of the bet, he called at Joseph Neri's store for the pea nut and took it away. Then In the secret of his home, he put fine wire through q pencil and hooked 1t through the peanut.
 When the time for the payment of his forfeit came, he started off with speed and ended up with speed and much of the fun which had been eX- pected was lost. Many residents in- sist that Coates roll the peanut in 8 bona fide manner, the peanut and pencil 10 be handed to him just prior to starting.
