The twelve-year-o daughter of Mr..
Stevens. one of the Englishmen who
lives across the river from town, was
out on the prairie, near the house, when

what her tormentor might be, she ran
: to the house. An examination showed
the imprint OF serpent's fangs. DIR.
Moore attended to the bite, and though
the foot aud limb became terribly swol-
len Monday, the danger appears now to
be oyer. The girl was wearing slippers
and the stocking prevented the poison
penetrating as it would have done on
the bare foot. 1t is supposed the snake
was a rattler.
