ing the afternoon of Saturday last, a private
soldier named John McNulty, recruit of
recent date, entered the post office, during
temporary absence of the post master, and
took from a trunk upwards of $500 and
passed out through window. As soon as
the robbery was discovered, the fact was
made known throughout the city and an
army officer being present conveyed the In
formation to the commanding officer, at
Camp Howard on his return. About this
same time another report came to head
quarters, that one John MNuity private
soldier who had been over to Mt Idaho
without leave Of absence had returned and
was boastfng that he had won 5000 from

A fatal case of rattlesna,ie bite occurred
at the heal OF Rock Lake last Saturday af-
ternoon, nine year old daughter of Mr..
Rawls beng the victim. Accompanied by
some other children, she was walking about
a half mile from home, when suddenly n
ratt.snake fastened its poisonous fangs into
one of her limbs, the wound causing eX-
cruciating pain to the poor girl while walk
ing home. Upon reaching home physician
was sent for and every remedy that could be
thought Of was tried to alleviate her suffer-
ings, but all to no avail. The physician be-
ing at some distance, did not reach the scene
IN time to be any assistance, her spirit taking
flight in the early part OF the evening, thus
putting her out of misery. Before death,
the pois pnel limb turned black. Living as
we do in country where rattlesnakes are
quite numerous in some localities, we wouiu
advise pers l.Is living in isolated places tn
keep on hand and have in readiness for such
emergencies sufficient alcoholic stimulants to
counteract the poisonous effects of snake
bite, as it is said to be an excellent remedy
Ammonia injected hypodermically, although
painful, is 4 good remedy. -Patoase Gazetfe.
