ing Company at Winnemucca, is in
formed by letter that tho furnaces are
running splendidly and doing better than
heretofore. The Superintendent, Cap.
tain Bledsoe, has been making import
ant improvements in the manner of

John Hovey, wngon-master OF Gold
berg's train, en- route from Yuma to
Tucson, while in camp few nights ago
at ella Bend, was bitten by rattle
snake, which crawled into his bed while
he was asleep. Fortunately Mr.. Hovey
had a supply of whisky along. which is
the great antidote for snake bites, on the
principle that one poison counteracts
another. John drank four bottles of
whisky before he felt any intoxicating
effect, and the fifth bottle completed the
cure of the bite. Here is warning to
all men travelling these roads in Summer
time. If John Hovey had not been pro-
vided with the whiskey aforesaid he
, would have been dead man. We never
travel either on the road, river or sea
without carrying some of the article with
us, to be used in case of snake bite. No
man knoweth when the snake bite
cometh.
Some weeks ago two Germans were
travelling on foot near Salmon City,
Idaho Subsequently one of the two
was floating down Snake River dead
with his head crushed in, and the other
on suspicion of having committed the
murder, was arrested and lodged in Jail
where he remained until the Both of last
August, when he was found dead in his
cell, with the arteries of HIS left arm
severed. He had written letter to a
German saloon keeper in Silver City
and another addressed to man in Los
Angeles, California, in both of which he
: asserted his innocence of the crime will
which he was charged. This unknown
man, who called himself G. Myers, bore
SO close u resemblance to the notorious
Bender, that he answered to the descrip
ton perfectly, excepting that his nose
was too large. Thus the time honoret
belief that no two men in the world lool
alike, has been again disproved.
