SNAKE STORY In its "Twenty-Five Years Ago, the Rockville Tribune of this week reprints an item it had from Waveland, relating a big snake story; the serpent apparently having been a denizen of Putnam county: “Bert Murray was bitten by a copperhead Saturday, while hunting over on Raccoon. Harry Glover, who was with him. took him to Russellville whei*e he was dosed with the traditional remedies. He slipped while going down a hill, and threw his right hand behind him. The reptile fastened on his thumb. There were several in the bunch, and Bert killed them all.”

Fourteen markers have been erected in Parke county at points of interest in the history of that county, the markers being put up under the sponsorship of the writers’ project of the state, under WPA. One of these markers is to call attention to the Ten O’clock Indian boundary line crossing of state road 41. It i«« on that road, about five miles south of Rockville, and is similar in intent to that erected by WPA, sponsored by the D. A. R. of this city, on the National road- at the point where the same boundary line crosses that j thoroughfare.

The Musical Elevator Thi interior of the elevator at the Putnam County Court House is not more somber in its appearance than j the usual run of such mechanisms j but the tastes of Otto Dobbs, its cus-j todian and operator, demanded something more homelike. For some time 1 now. his spare coat and his cane and , umbrella hove rested in out-of-the-| way nooks in the interior of the cage, I where they bothered no one. Then, j flowers began to appear, with a strand or two of bittersweet, a week vision was concerned, but they were | or so ago. These added to the esthetic effect of the whole, as far as the not calculated to please the ear. That defect Mr. Dobbs has recently remedied by installing a small radio, which relays to him and his passengers all the latest in music, and other radio programs, as the car descends and ascends or rests. And the appearance of ennui on Mr. Dobbs’ countenance has largely faded away.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Sept. 23.— (UP)- Th« practice of “dumping” paroled convicts by one state upon another was vigorously condemned today in a report of the American Bar association committee on criminal procedure which will be presented at the group’s annual meeting in Kansas City, Mo., next week. Philip Lutz, Jr., former attorneygenetal of Indiana and chairman of the committee on criminal procedure, made public contents of the report. “The present practice of dumping paroled convicts by one state upon, another is a national disgrace and this growing problem of supervising the lives of parolees in its effect upon crime is one to challenge the best efforts of legislators and enforcement agencies,” the report said. “The crime problem is national, not local. Only by co-ordinated efforts may real progress be made in the attack on crime as a social problem.” “An interstate compact law is one of the most important statutes any state may enact affecting the problem of crime, ft deals not only with that most important sanction which thd criminal law employs, namely that of punishment, by modernizing, liberalizing and humanizing St by probation and parole, but its chief aim is that of attacking crime at its most vulnerable point—the prevention of crime.” “Under the uniform compact recommended, no state may dump its parolees or probationers upon another state without the consent of that state, and that state must agree to give to the parolees the same standatd of supervision and rehabilitation services that it gives its own parolees and probationers.” The committee also attacked federal and state laws permitting "the public spectacle of legal executions.” “Public sentiment should be aroused to condemn public legal executions just as it has been aroused against public lynchings,” the committee’s report said.

Tlie number of head of livestock shipped from Putnam county in former years is astounding, in this day, when shipments have so radically de-

creased.

It would be a hard task to assemble figures of such shipments now, inasmuch as most of them are by truck, and no local record is kept. Before the days of tmeks the steam roads were the means whereby stock was sent to market, and from the shipping records there could be as-

sembled figures to indicat, number of head that Putnam county.
