There was a rouh and tumble fight
at Danville Saturday night. The par
ticipants were Irwin Hunter and Jesse
Fisher. It was a desperate struggle,
and both men mingled their blood,hut
Hunter finally retired with the honors
of the encounter having bitten his ap
ponent's nose nearly off. Fisher's con
dition is quite critical. Surgical at
tention was given him and the nose
plastered and sewed up as best it could
be done. He will be disfigured for
life Just what precipitated the alterca
tion is not known but Hunter is the
proprietor of a livery and Fisher was
until recently an employee. It is be
lieved that wages figured in it. The
penalty for a crime of this nature is
one thousand dollars fine and imprison
ment for five years. Hunter was
arrested Saturday and given a hearing.

The Dug DaTs.
Last week marked the beginning of
what are known as the "dog days,"1
which precede and follow the behacal
risinz of the star Sirius, in the constel
lation ot the Greater Dog. They
will end August 27. The season is
regarded by many persons as more
unhealthy than that which immediately
precedes or succeeds it, and as being
a time when mankind is more liable
to attacks from disease through ex
posure or imprudence in general hab
its than in any other. The heat, while
the dog days last, is usually more
sultry and oppressive than any other
in the summer. Then, too the meat
and vegetables are supposed to be in
more danger of spo-linjt from the ef
fects of the weather than at any other
time.

It Was A "Big Worm."
An Italian laborer working on the
railroad near Renovo saw a rattle
snake coiled under a stone. Not
knowing anything about snakes, he
picked the reptile up to throw it aside
when the snake struck us fangs in the
man's hand. The Italian continued
working when his hand began to swell
which attracted the attention of his
fellow workers. The Renovo News
say that he explained the matter sen
tentiously in these words: "Worma
bit ma hand. Hurts lika hella What
do?" An investigation showed that
the worm was over four feet long and
a deadly, black rattler. The hand had
swollen to eight times its normal size.
Centralia'a Teachers.
The Centralia School Board met
last week and elected teachers for the
ensuing year. No changes were made
in the personnel of the corps. There
was a vacancy caused by the resigna
tion just previous to close of the last
term of John J. Reilley,. His sister,
Miss Margaret Reilley, was elected to
succeed him. The action of the school
board is satisfactory. The expected
cutting out of a teacher failed to
occur. The schools will re-open on
Monday August 19th.
