WOOSTER, Ohio. August 4.-The
quiet dignity Of this college town has
been violently upset twice within AZ
hours by the unseemly conduct of q
snake, a spider. and two rowdy boys.
The snake and the spider started the
excitement in the basement Of the East
ern Produce Co. by opening q life and
death struggle.
BY the time the town got warmed up
to the spectacle, three small boys
stopped the battle without asking any
body's permission.
The snake-spider battle started about
two days ago, and was discovered after
the spider had enmeshed the snake in
a huge web and lifted the creature six
inches from the floor Of the produce
company basement.
At noon yesterday, the boys came to
the produce store to witness the battle.
A few minutes later they left hTriedly.
When the observers went down to
see how the spectacle was coming on,
they found the spiders web damaged
far beyond the ability Of a six-inch
garter snake and the snake gone.
The observers concluded the small
boys had tried to stir the combatants
to greater frenzy and wrecked the bat
tie The only witness to the rowdism
was the spider, which was sitting back

tional amendments sponsored by the
Long organization. An open court re-
count of the first six of the contested
boxes under supervision of District At

duced the majority for one OF the
amendments by 805 votes.

dispute for the first time, charged the
boxes had been "tampered with by my

He disclaimed any responsibility for
the selection of the commissioners who
served in the election, but added Il am
able to take care of myself and my
friends and with Sullivan's gang hand
ling the ballot boxes, no one need fear
but what any election commissioner
will have the proper protection to which
he is entitled"
The surprise of my life is that these
ballots of the uncontested election in
November from the worst precincts show
only TOO difference in majorities after
the Sullivan crowd had the open boxes
in their possession for five days and
nights" He said the Citizens Commit
tee making the recount were all our
enemies
The recount was in recess today as
District Attorney Stanley, who has led
the fight for a full investigation, left

An immense crowd of spectators
watched the drawing, but there was q
