COPPERHEAD BITE
FATAL TO CHILD
Fiye-Year-Old Lynwood Girl Dies i'm
HarrisOnburg Hospital

HarrisOnburg Hospital
Hazel Shiffiett, five-year-old daugh-
ter of Charles Shiflett, of near Lynn
wood, died Monday at D. m. In the
Rockingham Memorial Hospital from
the effects of snake bite on her
arm.
The child, according to reports,
was playing around an old building
at her fathers home. She stuck her
hand among some old boards, and
the snake struck her on the arm.
The snake, which was not killed, is
believed to have been a copperhead.
When the child's arm became bad
ly swollen, she was taken to Harri-
sonburg for treatment, but the pol
son had gained such Roadway that
it was impossible to save her life.
Her arm was swollen several times
its natural size.
Owing to the dry weather, more
snakes have been seen in Rocking
ham and Shenandoah Counties this
spring and summer than in many
years. They have even invaded the
towns.
Little Hazel Shifiett is the only
person bitten SO far as reports reach
ing Harrisonburg go.

WE WRITE THEM UP
(J. ]. 81

we read some story every day
OF scientist men, who go away
To hunt for freaks and dinosaurs
Or find the ruins of some past wars
They visit all the foreign lands,
To search for apes and pigmy bands,
That they might find some wild-eyed
gink
Who looks like Darwin's missing
link.
They dug up poor old Pharo Tut"
From out his quaint Egyptian hut,
To find out all about his clothes
And why he did not wear red hose.
They've torn up miles of farming
ground
And all they've ever seen or found
Is hopeless heaps of withered junk
And stones carved up with queer-like
bunk.
They find some fossils in a rock
Ana tell us that it is the stock
From which all life upon the earth
Has gained its vertebrated birth.
They go up in the polar arc
Where half the time the days are
dark,
To see who first can freeze his feet
BY basking in the Northern sleet.
They've even tried to reach the stars
BY sky-rocketing up to Mars.
Yet still with all their funny deeds
We let them roam the sticks and
weeds
And write them UP tn scare-head
style,
While they look on with knowing
smile.

SHEPHERD JUROR
 QUITS THE PANEL
Decides He Is. Against Capital
 Punishment

Chicago. May PC (AP)--The dis charge of a juror. breaking the first panel obtained in the trial of Will liam D, Shepherd, charged with murder, and renewed jury tamper- ing charges brought double sen sation in Judge Thomas J. Lynchs court today.
 We have information that should be investigated before jury Is sworn in Tn this case" States At torney Robert Grove declared in answering w. S. Stewart, chief de- fense counsel, who demanded that MT, Grove be stopped from further inquiry as to possible jury tam perng.
 Harold Pillar. 22, youngest juror and member of the first panel of four, the only jurors sworn In. broke the panel when he avowed that he had an opinion in the case and was opposed 10 capital punishment.
 When examined, Pillar had not said he would not subscribe to cap- ital punishment. but apparently conscientious scruplcs led him over night 10 reveal his belief.
 w. w. O'Brien and ". s. Stewart. defenders of Shepherd. have been put under investigation by States Attorney Grove to determine if there have been attempts to fix" prospective jurors.
 An inquiry into all cases con- ducted by Shepherds lawyers in the past six months was ordered by the prosecutor after receipt of letter from Robert White, missing witness. which contained charges hat he had been forced by defense attorneys 10 make an affidavit in behalf of Shepherd. White, claimed also by both defense and state as an important witness, wrote from Philadelphia that he had been forced 10 flee from Chicago for fear of his life. A detective was sent to inc Pennsylvania city last night to re- turn White.
 The states attorney said he would call for questioning, on the basis of Whites letter, every man who has served on jury during the last half year in any case defended by Stewart and O'Bricn. Mir. Grove said he was particularly interested in one case in which Stewart ac- rcptod the last four jurors rendered without questioning The attorney made similar offer in tho Shepherd case few days ago.
 Attorneys Stewart and OBrion ox- pressed resentment as 10 Mir. Groves p'an.
 We welcome any investigation" Stewart said. "It is no hardship up- on us, but 1t Is q hardship on hon. ]. est tugprs who returned the yer dlcts."k
 He added that the investigation , was ordered only 10 "intimidate the ! jurors in the present case" because 1 the state realized it had no case | against his client.
 Mir. Stewart also asserted White ! had signed the affidavit in question { of his own volition. The affidavit declared the case against Shepherd ! was a frame-up. | Today's program for the trial proper was q continuation Of the weary task Of getting a jury. Four jurors had been sworn in yesterday and one ycnirenan tentatively passed by both sides.

SOME CHANGES COME

The B. & 0. R. R. Companf has be-
gun to use economy in this section of
their roads The Diner has been dis
continued on the Grafton and Beling-
ton branch. Two road sections were
consolidated Tuesday, in which Lem
Fawley is transferred to the Parkers-
burg branch, and Henry Polling is
foreman over the two from Beling-
ton to Tygarts Junction. Gasoline
motors have had great deal to do
with speeding up the work of main
tenance of way and it is stated
that the men can do more and better
work when they're not compelled to
pump a hand car for miles before
they start to work, thus invention is
gradually taking on the hard work of
man, giving him an easier time, but
he must use economy in his living the
easy life.

The telegraph Friday Evening
brought the sad news of the death
that morning of Howard Brooks in q
hotel in Tallahassee, FLORIDA. 1t came
as shock barbed with pain and sor-
row. Seldom has it been our duty to
record as sudden a death. Howard re-
ceived most of his schooling in Beling-
ton, and made many lasting friends
who deeply regret to learn of
his early demise. He was of an affect
ionate disposition, bright and winning
in his ways SO that friendships circle
was to him large one. Only few
years ago he was married to Miss
Hazel Butchelon, of Savannah Ga.
who he leaves, with his mother, Mrs,
S. l.. Brooks of Belington and his
brother, Birdsell, who resides in Fair
mont, to mourn his loss.
At the time of his death he was
travelling auditor for the Sea Board
Air Line working in six southern
states. which position he held for the
past eleven years. He was 80 years
old August End.
Funeral services and interment was
made Monday at Savannah, Georgia,

SCHOOL LEVY TO BE
REDUCED THIS YEAR
Board of Education of Belington
Independent District
Plans to Reduce Taxes

It will be noted, and surely pleasing
to the taxpayers, that the Board of
Education of Belington Independent
District has this year reduced the
levy. and it is stated that even the
estimated levy may not be necessary
to carry on the schools in Belington
thru another year. 1t has. come to the
point and almost to the breaking
point, that levying bodies must re-
duce taxation. Cutting down the over
head expenses by the business men
is the order of the day, and in as much
as taxes of all kinds come under this
heading, this will be relieve in a
small way.
Family expenses will now have to be
cut, the unnecessary Injuries will
have to be curtailed. Economy will
have to be practiced in many ways.
Public school teachers can do great
work in the early training of the pupil,
if its having them using every blank
space on the leaves of their tablets
for the buying of school SUPPLIES is a
big item in the family budget.
