A Centipede's Deadly Claws.

Several Mexicans were in camp at the
mouth Of Memphis Greek, Utah terri
tory, and were lying about the fire, when
one of them, Telstore Crucas, saw large
centipede, fully nine inches long, travel
ing slowly over his leg. Knowing that
the least motion would make it sink its
deadly claws into his skin, without
moving his leg he got out his revolver,
and waited until the beast had almost
reached his knee, when, slowly putting
the mouth Of the pistol to his head, he
pulled and the centipede was gone.
But centipede's claws are quicker than
gunpowder, and Crucas began to cramp
in few minutes, the track of the reptile
along his leg turned brownish yellow,
and the place where it was killed swelled
up frightfully. Crucas rapidly grew
worse, and in little over four hours
afterward he died in great agony. But
the most singular part of the story is
that the bullet from Crucas' pistol cut a
small nick in the foreleg of mule that
was tethered near by, and at daylight
next morning the mule was also dead,
with its leg so swollen that the skin had
burst in several places.-Comon County
