lady and her daughter came very near
drowning, and had it not been for the
timely arrival of Judge Howth and G. G.
Beavens they would have drowned, and as
it was they came nearer to it than they
will ever wish to come again. The tide
being low the bathers were inclined to
venture out too far and with mud holes
and uIdertow they came near losing their
lives. One of the ladies was carried to her
room in an unconscious condition, and
physician called in. He states that she re-
ceived severe nervous shocks from which
it will take days to recover.

LINES FROM LLANO.
A Recluse who Ate Snakes Dies Horrible
Death from Poison.

LLANo, Tex, July LIT is our painful
duty to record the most horrible death that
has perhaps ever occurred in Llano county.
The circumstances surrounding it are for
the most part conjectural and the victims
terrible sufferings were witnessed only by
that all seeing eye that notes even the spar
rows fall. Mr.. Peter Keigerl lived alone in
small cabin in an out-of-the-way place,
just beyond Hickory creek, and some
twelve miles west from the town of Llano.
Last Saturday week he purchased at
Castell some cresylic ointment, with which
he said he wanted TO kill worn s. The next
Tuesday or Wednesday a gentleman hap
pened to pass by Keigerls house and saw
him lying on the ground close TO his horse
which was tied to tree. Upon eXamina-
tion he was found to be nearly dead. The
gentleman obtained assistance and re-
moved the dying man to a neighbors house,
where his wants could be attended to, but
Keigerl was beyond all human aid
and died In short time. He,
however, was able to tell
his attendants that he had taken cresylic
ointment to get rid of a tape worm that
kept creeping up in his throat. 1t is be-
lieved that Keigerl took the poison at least
two, if not three days before he was found
and that during all that time he Law and
rolled upon the ground in paroxyms of
agony that cannot be told. The ground at
his head and feet showed that his struggles
had been severe and long continued. Kei-
gerl was not only a recluse, but he had
a most vitiated taste or a perverted appe-
tue. He ate most everything that came in
his way. Not many months since he had
horse to die from getting entangled in it's
stake rope, and lie ate the whole of it.
keigerl would 90 into the woods and kill
snakes and other reptiles and eat them.
In fact, as we are Informed he would eat
most anything Keigerl is said to have left
a wife somewhere in the old country.
