He was hoeing along when something struck his handle and, looking down, he saw a big rattlesnake hold fast to the handle. He got a club and killed it, and continued hoeing. Suddenly tha handle bursted wide open, which was caused, Elias says, by the poison entering the sap.
CHERRY GROVE.

A Passage At Arms.
The siege at Santiago was lost sight of for a time in the county auditor's office Wednesday morning. In fact it paled into insignificance when compared to the hand to hand conflict that was engaged in there for a few minutes. The contestants were Attorney John L. Shrum and Deputy Auoitur Frank L. Maxwell and the dispute grew out of the distribu 1 11 of the gravel road refunding tax which Shrum claimed Maxwell was slow in distributing. One word brought on an ther anil finally Maxwell struck' Shrum in the face and iu a moment more both were ri lling and tumbling on th^ Hour. Bystanders interfered and separated the combatants. As a result Shrum has an eye in mourning and Maxwi-ll 13 shy a hunk of roeey llesh on his check bone.
