are some rattlesnakes in the coun
try yet at least there was one
Thursday, but he is a dead one
now. Jimmy was walking along
the railroad track this side of
Bracken Thursday, with Mr. and
Mrs. Chas. Rider, when Mrs.
Rider almost stepped on a snake.
Jimmy killed it. It had five rat
tles and was not very large
around but was about three feet
long.
During the storm a week ago
Saturday night Jas. A. Stephen
son had a horse killed by light
ningthe third horse that he has
lost this spring and summer.
This one was one of a span of
beautiful sorrels with light mane
and tail, almost perfect matches
in every way. They were three
years old. Mr. Stephenson raised
the one that was killed and had
considerable difficulty in match
ing it. He will pay .$200 for a
match to the one that is left.

his father, J. H. Broady. Six
years ago Cal built a fence, the
posts being six feet above ground.
These posts are now entirely cov

pecially noticeable this year. The
soil deposited is a rich sandy
loam.
J. F. Ebnother Has a Runaway
J. F. Ebnother got badly
bruised Tuesday forenoon. He
had been cutting wheat and
stopped to oil the machine. He
was in front of the binder when
the horses started. He was
thrown down and the binder
went over him, badly bruising
one arm and both legs. The
ground was very soft, otherwise
ho would likely have sustained
serious injuries. The horses ran
down a hill and the machine got
tangled up in some sarlings,
which stopped them until Jim
Shiveley. who had heard the
racket, ran and caught them. If
they had gone a few feet farther
they would have gone down a
steep embankment. The horses
were not hurt but the binder was
badly broken.
