A Genuine Whip-Snake.

Mr.. D. B. Taylor, of Pineville Town
ship, killed a genuine whip-snake on
the plantation of Mr.. joe. Weeks Tues
day. The snake was first seen coming
across the field with his head erect
some ten inches from the ground, and
as he came near the wagon, in which
were seated Mr.. Taylor and some boys,
he lashed his tail against the wheel,
making every effort to reach those in
the wagon. The cracking of his tail
produced a loud noise similar to a large
horsewhip, striking very rapidly and
with much force. Mr.. Taylor procured
rock, and, hitting the snake, stunned
him, when one of the boys ran up and
cut off his head. One-hah of Lis body
was black and of uniform size, suggest
ing the handle of whip, the other half
was smaller and of lighter color, with
dark marks, which resembled the plait-

A Shower of IcieIes IN Montana.
uopno.

After Sundays fierce storm had
ceased it was found that the supposed
hail-stOnes were particles of ice, and
that enough had fallen to almost cover
the ground. This storm of icicles is
thought to have been caused by the
furious wind coming across the Sierras
having attracted quantity of water,
which, by the excessive cold, was froz en-
while in the form of spray, and ita pro
gress being checked in that direction
by the northern wall of Mill Creek
Canon, it dropped its load and turned
down the canon to Mono Valley. The
theory gains strength by the fact that
Lake Jessie, ten miles distant, was on
Monday morning perceptibly lower
than on the previous evening, which
could have happened in none but a
phenomenal way, the mountain torrent
that feeds it being unusually large at
the time.

Explorer Clark's Name in the Rock.
Alta California.


On the south bank of the Yellowstone
river, between Miles City and Billings,
stands a detached body of yellow sand
stone, which rises abruptly on three
sides to the height of about four humid
red feet. Its base occupies about one
acre of ground. The fourth side is ir.
regular and broken and affords way
by which ascent may be made. The
rock is known as Pompey's Pillar, hav
ing been so called by the explorer, Will
lam Clarke. The most noticeable
thing about it is Clarke's name, carved
deeply On the face of the rock, about
half way up on the north side. evil
lam Clarke, July 20, 1906" is traceable

IN A WHlRL OF WATERS.
The FeriIOus Adventure ola Young
aMiIIer who Swan for Life's Sake.

OICaWa ClJlLeu.
On Tuesday morning a young French
Canadian mill-hand named Narcisse
Mcunier, in Eddy's new mill at Hull,
Qlebec, had one of the most marvellous
escapes from death On record. 1t seems
that while attending to his duties in the
lower part of the mill he slipped and
fell into the water beneath. At this
point the stream resembles 81 gigantic
seething cauldron, but Notwithstanding
the warning of the rushing waters Mar
cisse, who is q powerful swimmer,
struck out boldly for the shore. In spite
of his efforts he was hurled down the
waterway toward the Devils Hole,
where the stream enters the under
ground passage. Nothing daunted by
the tremendous strength of the current,
against which he was battling, Narcisse
continued to fight for his life. Atlength
he succeeded in getting near enough
to the shore to clutch projecting piece
of rock. Fortunately for him some
outsiders happened to see him clinging
to the rock on the shore with the ener-
gy of despair, while the force of the
current was almost tearing mis- arms
out Of their sockets, and came to his
rescue. Had it not been for this he
would inevitably have been sucked
down into the Devils Hole and probab-
ly never heard of again.
No description can give the faintest
idea of the dangers of this spot, but af-
ter one glance at it, it seems incompre-
hensible that a human being should
have been there and survived.
