LOST ON THE PLAINS.
Two Young Men Separate from Party and
Perish.

Perish.
From the Denver Tribune
A party of sixteen surveyors, in the
employ of the Government, under the
command of Maj Medary, left this city
short time ago, says the Trinidad
NelCS, for tour eastward to Indian
Territory line. Nothing more would
have been thought of the party but foi
! the arrival in this city yesterday of Mr.
Havenner and companion, who be-
longed to the corps, who reported the
horrible fate of two of their compan.
ions and the narrow escape of three
others. The circumstances of the case
are about as follows:
After leaving Trinidad the company
proceeded eastward, and were soon at
work locating townships. On the morn
ing of Thursday, the 9th inst, a squad
of five men was sent out from point
on Willow creek to run transit due
north eighteen miles, with orders to
join the camp at nightfall. The men
performed the work assigned them, and
at dusk set out for camp, which had
also been travelling northward during
the day. The surveyors started east
from their objective point, and, after
walking six miles, made camp. In
going in this direction they made a
great mistake; for they should have
gone due west after finishing their work
in order to find the camp wagons.
Comprehending their mistake, and being
proposed to travel south in hopes of
striking the creek. Two of the party
refused to do this, preferring to remain
where they were. hoping that the camp
ing outfit would come up to them in a
few hours. Friday morning the three,
headed by Mr.. Sheets, started for Cariso
springs. They lost their way, and
would lave persisted but for the timely
arrival on Monday of men from the
camp, who were in search of them.
The search Tor the other two, whose
names were S. M. Winchester and
William Johnson, was continued with
an interest bordering on frenzy. Not
until Monday, the 9th, did the searchers
get any clew of the missing men.
About 2 o'clock p. m. on that day the
men came upon poor Winchester out
upon the plains; but he was too far
gone to be saved. A few drops of water
were given him, but in five minutes he
was a corpse, dying in the arms of a
companion, who had arrived too late.
Further search was made for John
son. A large rock, which lowered up
grandly on the boundless plains, was
visited, and there in crevice was found
a note from Winchester, dated the 7th,
saying that Johnson and he were lost,
but had made up their minds to go
south in the hope of striking the Will
low.
The note was written in firm hand,
and showed that the writer was in his
right mind. The diligent searchers
started south, and after travelling six
miles were rewarded by finding can
teen belonging to Johnson. For three
days more they secuted the prairies on
horseback in every direction, and on
Thursday, the 18th, gave up the search,
unsuccessful in finding the unfortunate

SOME SNAKE STORIES.

A CORRESPONDENT tells of the killing
of a rattlesnake few days since IN
Todd county, KY. When first discov-
cred little child was playing with it,
the snake meanwhile darling out its
tongue.-Elkton Register.
A DAUGHTER of Mr.. Joseph B. Brown,
of Two Runs. Lumpkin county, GA,
sat down on huge rattlesnake the 9th
er day. She got up as soon as she
found it out, and the snake was killed.
--Atlanta Constitution.
The death of Mr.. Leonard Collins, of
Apling county, Ga, who was bitten by
rattlesnake AS he was in search of lum-
Der to make coffin for his mothers re-
mains, is announced. His suffering
from the day that he received the bite
to the time of his death-a period of
about ten days-was intense, and, not
withstanding the best medical skill and
attention, nothing could be found to
counteract the effects of the venom up
on his system.-SdUd'oadh Nelcs.
On Sunday three boys, sons of Mr..
Frederick Elliott, living near Rawlings
station, Md, came upon a rattlesnake.
They killed it, with the assistance of
their dog, which soon after sickened
and died. Shortly afterward one of the
boys was taken very i'll, and, it is feared,
will not recover Baltimore Bulletin
r. SHARP, who lives at East Los An
geles, appeared in his place of business
to-day for the first time in several
weeks. About three weeks ago, while
he was irrigating his land, he was pre-
ceding the water stream, carrying a
hoe to loosen the ground, and suddenly
felt something sting him in the calf of
his right leg. On looking down, he
saw an immense tarantula clinging to
his bare limb. Before he could brush
it off, it gave him another bite. The
shock was severe, hut he did not lose
his presence of mind. He at once pro-
ceeded to the house, and applied such
antldotes as were at hand, and drank a
large goblet of pure alcohol, followed
by bottle and half of strong brandy.
These stimulants produced but very
little inebriating effect, and doubtless
saved Mr.. Sharp's life. The wounds
were then blstered, and, up to this
morning, Mr.. Sharp did not feel strong
enough to go to work. Los angeles

DR.. Richardson and the British Med
ical Temperance Association, over
which he presides, have once more en-
deavored to give practical illustration of
what may be used as wholesome, nom
intoxicant beverage when the warm
weather we have long been expecting
eventually arrives. Always supposing
that sunshine will some day supersede
the cold and wet from which we are at
present suffering, and that with it the
desire for refreshing compounds in the
shape of drink Will arise, the question
which the doctors have met to discuss
is certainly one of considerable interest.
1t may at once be noted that the variety of
mixtures with which the assembled tee
totalers on the occasion of the society's
banquet drank to to various "senti
ments" proposed was neither stinted
nor commonplace. There were infer
mented wines, including sport and
sherry" fruit drinks, beverages made
from malt-free from alcohol, of course
and others from hops, declared on the
list to be both good and pleasant, cyder-
inc, concocted from the use of apples, a
curious liquid with singular name,
which was stated to be "the pure inspis-
stated juice of the grape, free from all
foreign matter, and pleasantly acid,
and another which, under an equally
strange title, was averTed to con-
tain phosphates OF iron, and to
be an excellent tonic. Ginger ale, than

could be finer" fruit essences, no doubt
