SNAKES IN A DRY TOWN.

“Shorty” Adams, whose appetite for firewater is said to be practically unquenchable, had a fit of “seeing things” Wednesday morning and was found wandering about in the wet grass nea* the Catholic church at an early hour, minus hat, shoes and socks or coat and vest but with well defined symptoms of the jimjams. He was taken to the home of his mother by the city marshall and a doctor succeeded, afa time, in expelling the ugly things from his sight. He is now all right once more and has announced again that he will taboo booze, which it is hoped he will do. He is said to have secured his latest load up about the oasis at Shelby.
