EIGHTY SNAKES IN A HOLE Mammoth Colony of Reptiles at Ed Wagner's Farm. Eighty garter snakes were found in ono spot of his farm by Ed Wagner , living three miles southeast of town , ono day during the latter part of last week , fifty-two of them celled up to gether in ono hole. The entire four score of the reptiles were killed by Mr. Wagner. Twenty-eight of the garter serpents were killed by Mr. Wagner Thursday afternoon. He determined that there must bo a colony of them somewhere near ahouts , and the next day investi gated. With a spade ho dug down into the earth at a point where ho found a little hole in the ground. When the spade turned its earth away from the hole , Mr. Wagner was amazed and startled to see , all celled up In several llttlo groups , a squirming mass of striped creatures , sticking out seem ingly a thousand tongues at him. His spade began the slaughter , which continued for fifteen minutes. It was found after the killing that there were Just fifty-two different snakes in the batch. Some of them were big and some of them llttlo. Mr. Wagner declares that he had not had anything stronger than water. HOLT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TAKE DOWN $1,000. AFRAID HE WOULD COME BACK WAS FEARED FRIENDS MIGHT CLAIM PRIZE MONEY. SOME KNOW WHERE OLD MAN IS Hagerty's Signature Was Secured at One Time to Property Transfer , Showing That His Whereabouts Is Known McGreevy Has Gone. O'Neill , Neb. , April HO. Special to The News : Ono of the first results of the dismissal of the McGroovy cases In the dlstilc court of Hock county on April 21 has been the withdrawal of the reward for the apprehension of Patrick Hagerty , former partner of McOreevy and cashier of the defunct Elkhorn Valley bank. A standing reward of $ ! 100 was of fered by the county for Ilagerty soon after his departure from O'Neill In November , 1904. A few weeks ago this reward was raised to $1,000 by the board of supervisors , and last Sat urday the icward was withdrawn by the board and the funds turned back into the county treasury. Afraid He Would Return. The supei visors feel that the county can not afford to pay out $1,000 and run the risk of having Hagorty turned loose If caught as McGrcovy wan. They entertained the suspicion , too , now that McGrcovy is out , that some of Hagerty's friends would have him brought back to tills county for the purpose of claiming the reward. A good deal of speculation Is In dulged In as to how Ilagerty keeps himself hid as ho docs. There Is not n man In the state nioro easily Identi fied than tie. It Is confidently believed by many hero that ho had aid from this end in keeping covered up. The fnct that about a year ago his signa ture was secured for the transfer of some real estate Included In the now hotel property lends color to the be lief and shows that some persons hero know his hiding place. That the aflalis of the old Elkhorn Valley bank weio In a bad way was clearly shown both In the trial of the bank examiner case hero and the trial of the suit against the bank's bonds men for the county deposits , and how its officers can escape prosecution un der the criminal laws is not clear to the people of this community. In the trial of the bank examiner case notes found among the assets of the institu tion aggregating about $30,000 wore Introduced in evidence by the prosecu tion and shown to lie forgeries. In the trial of the case against the bonds men each of them swore on the wit ness stand that they had not signed the bond , though the signatures on the bond if not genuine wore perfectly imitated. The notary witnessing the signatures testified that the bondsmen had not appeared before him In per son. The attorney for the bondsmen showed how the signatures might have been secured on the bond. Ho had each one of the .nen whoso name was attached to the bond sign his name in ink on a slip of paper. These wore taken into a dark room and placed , one slip at a time , on an ordinary pane of glass , with a lighted lamp di rectly under the glass. A blank slip of paper was then laid over each slip bearing the signatures and the light from below plainly revealed the writ ing through the upper sheet. Then the signatures were traced with pen and ink , the result being perfect repro ductions of the originals. McGreevy Has Gone. As a refeult of these two trials for gery was legally established with ref erence to the notes and bond. Bernard McGreevy , who was re leased from prosecution in the district court of Rock county April 21 , has left O'Neill. He has gone west , presuma bly to Montana or Washington , where he has mining Interests. FIND $160 OF BUTTE MONEY. Hidden in Heap of Cobs , Part of Stolen Funds Is Recovered.

Absent-mindedness yesterday brought serious results to a Norfolk Jewelry salesman who forgot what ho had done with a number of gold rings and , forgetting , accused a coiiplo of Innocent young women of having talc- en them. When ho discovered that ho had merely placed the gold bands In a display window and that the two young women were perfectly blame less , ho became for the tlrno being al most a nervous wreck and could not In any way , though ho apologized pro fusely and sincerely , forgive himself for the error. The young man had on the day before - fore taken out several handsome rings from their rase and had placed thorn in a display window. Then ho forgot all about It. Yesterday afternoon two young ladies entered the store , asked to see the gold rings and were shown the samples. They looked at the rings , finished , and left the store. The salesman be- gan replacing his wares in good order In their case and found that the case was not filled by the rings. Some were missing. He searched every where , but there was no sign of the rings. And so he Jumped to the con clusion that the two young women had taken them. The young woman passed the window before long , and the young Jeweler tapped on the win dow. They came Into the store to he charged with the offense. "I find some of my rings gone , " said the salesman , "and , since no one has been in hut you , you must have taken the rings. The cheapest thing to do will bo to return them. " The two astounded young women were horror stricken at the accusa tion and their feelings were deeply hurt In the matter. They of course denied the charge and left the store. A little later the young man began racking his brain and then there flashed through ills mind the memory of having placed the rings in the win- dow. Ho looked , and there lay the little circles of yellow metal. Of course ho went Immediately to the innocent young women whom ho had accused wrongly , and apologized , lie blamed himself in an extreme degree - greo and would have done anything In the world that could be done to square the matter and to show how deeply ho deplored the unfortunate accident Ho says that ho never will forgive himself and that he can not tell how much ho regrets having falsely charged so serious an offense to the two entirely innocent victims of the affair.
