ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
Wednesday, NoUember 81, 1888.

There are three candidates for the
Office of Speaker of the House OF
Representatives, at Washington, and
all three are capable men. They are
Randall, of Pennsylvania; Cox, OF
New York; and Carlisle, of Ken
lucky. If it was a mere personal mat
ter the former would again be seated
in the chair, but it is now question
of politics, and, it appears that either
Carlisle or Cox will be elected. Ran
dali favors n protective tariff, and as
such is not fitted to lead the Demo
cratic party, while Cox and Carlisle
favor the Democratic idea of reduc-
ing taxes by tariff for revenue only.
Mr.. Cox has been longest in the SER
vice of the Democratic party, and his
record is one to be proud of. If elect
ed we believe he would make an eff
cient presiding officer, and we hope he
may be successful.

A Man Held Up" In Broad Daylight

A man named M. j. Bower, a
carpenter by trade, who was on route
to Watertown, Dakota, met with an
adventure Tuesday morning about
6 clock while proceeding toward the
Omaha & st. Paul depot to take the
train for his destination.
AS he passed a train of freight cars,
two men suddenly stepped out and
stopped him, inquiring where he was
going. He told them and instantly
was Heizsd, his arms pinioned and his
pockets picked of two twenty dollar
bills, after which his assailants took to
their heels.
MI. Bower chased one of the men
for quite a distance up Fifteenth street
and meantime the other beat q hsgty
retreat up the railroad, bosh making
their escape, The victim raised money
enough on his box Of tools to proceed
to his destination.

A Mountain Alligator.

William Blackheath, who has just re-
turned from six-months' soiourn in
Arizona, has brought to the Comstock
the skin of what he, for want of a better
name, calls ella monster, but which is
evidently that of saurian of q differ ent
species. The skin now measures seven
ieet from tip to tip, and it has evidently
shrunk some inches in drying, Though
about the color OF an ordinary Gila mon
ster, the reptile is evidently a kind of
inland crocodile, or, more properly. a
cayman, as it has not the webbed feet
of the crocodile. The strange saurian
was found in small valley in the White
stone Mountains. When alive it stood
two feet high, and its body, just back of
its fore-legs, was over three feet in cir
conference. The creature was as savage
as bulldog, and as full of fight as q
viper. 1t was found by the dogs of Mr..
Blackheath and partner. When the
men arrived at the haunt of the reptile
to which they were attracted by the
fierce and peculiar barking of their dogs,
three in number-they found that one
dog had already been killed and the
others were badly cut up and covered
with blood. The creature displayed
ious that the two prospectors feared to
90 near it, being armed with moth
ing better than prospecting pick and
shovel with short handle. Finally the
thing got one of the dogs by the fore
leg, and finding that it held on like q
terrier, with no sign of loosing its hold
Mr.. Bleckhcath ran forward and struck
his pick into its head. Even then the
reptile held on, and it was not until 1T
had been struck several blows with the
pole OF the pick that its jaws relaxed and
1t gave up the ghost. When the dog
was released it was found that his fore
leg had been broken at a point about
two inches above the knee. Mr.. Black
heath says he has met with several OF
the creatures known as ella monsters
that were two feet and two and hall
feet i'll length, but never before or since
saw or even suspected the existence OF
one so large as that whose skin he pos
sesses. 1t was surprise to all the white
men in that section, but some OF the
Indians asserted that far south in the
Sierra Madre Mountains they had seen
some that were as large or larger. I'M
fortunately, in flying the sauriHn, Mr..
BlackhedCh's only idea was to have the
hide tanned and made into hose and
CATERS, and therefore he did not pre-
serve the feet, otherwise the skin might
be stuffed and mounted by a taxider-
mist. He says the teeth of the creature
were over an inch in length, were sharp
rs a needles, and in shape resembled
the teeth of shark.-Virginia City
