Now let the neutrality-suspicious. of them
who think I'VE are IN the eve OF q crisis
aud need only q leader"-put Grape on
their hats and look suspiciously at their
very best friends. For they have been
informed by one of their own societies
that Dents Kearney, he OF the San Fran
cisco ''sand lots" and Of alleged truck
driving propensities, is a too OF monopo-
lists. If Kearney has been false during
all there years in which he has been "car-
Tying the standard" firing the bread
winners heart" exposing the blood-suck-
ing mcnopoiists," and all that sort of
thing, who that remains can be trusted ?
He was such a darling No other work
ingman that ever mounted the lecture
platform could curse q capitalist in q hun
dred ways per minute, nor did any orator
ever live who could extemporize facts and
figures with such amazing rapidly. OF
course he was the worst enemy the work
ingmen ever had, but that trining fact was
nothing against him in the minds Of those
who felt that mere blatherskite could
remedy abuses. And SO the expenses Of
his Eastern trips were paid by monopo-
lists? We'll, well We never imagined
these Shiny imps Of hell, /" to use one of
Kesrney's pet expressions, could be SO
shrewd.-New York Herald.
The Eastern press are a long time in
finding out about Denis Kearney what was
known about him here and everywhere
else on the Pacific Coast from the begin
ming. Maybe after q while they will 6nd
out something about John Chinsman. too.
They will AVE to learn in the latter as in
the former case-hy association.

Encsrcled By a=snake.

Miss Lizzie Brooks, an accomplished
young lady residing at Sheridan. Pa, had
quite an adventure with q blacksnake in
the woods Just in the rear Of her fathers
residence. She was out walking in COM
pany with a lady companion, whom sud-
denly she experienced q peculiar and pain
full sensation around her waist, as if being
tightly pressed. She WAS quite overcome
and seemed to be held in a vice-like grasp,
which almost deprived her of breath. She
investigated and found something had
coiled round her waist. She called to her
companion for help.
The latter, upon coming to her rescue,
was Mortified to see the head Of a large
snake protrude from the folds of her
dress. With rare presence Of mind she
caught hold of the light summer costume
which Miss Brooks wore aud pulled the
skirt from the body. With it there jell q
large black snake, which the young ladies
declare was fully six feet in length. He
darted away and was soon lost sight OF
among the rocks. 1t is supposed that the
reptile worked itself up the young lady's
und%erclothing while she was walking and
coiled itself around her waist. The young
lady tainted when she got home.

Oscar Baker Perishes ON b Colo
RADIO Desert.
Phoebe Record: Another unfortunate
has persisted. A man by the name Of o.
car Baker, who was making the trip from
New York District, CAL. to Ell Dorado
Canyon. persisted for the want Of water
when within about two miles Of the Can
yon. There IL q stretch of barren coun-
try, about 80 miles in length, between the
two points above named, without water.
There used to be q small spring midway but
it has been dry this Summer. Baker. not
knowing that the spring was dry, started
to walk this 80 miles, and when within q
short distance Of his journeys end per-
ished. Some four or five days after
Baker started another man started across
the same trail on mule, and came near
perishipg also. On his arrival at the
Canyon he reported about Baker having
started for that place. and upon learning
that Baker did not arrive there, stated
that he smelt a fearful stencil, about three
miles out, while he was riding during the
night. Lewis and another man then went
out where the stranger said lie smelt the
stencil, and found the body Of Oscar
Baker. The body was taken and buried.

jolly time drinking wine.. Whenever any
Of them get drunk they are placed in the
forks of the roots OF Q tree and made to sit
there till sobered. Tons and tons OF
peaches are going to rot At the ranch. The
ground is covered with them. Since the
railroad has been running to Fort Mohave
hay is delivered from California at the
canyon for $50 per ton. 1t used to cost
$40. This il q severe blow to the ranchers
in the lower part Of the county. A person
