A VERMONT VERDANT,

He Joins Party in Colorado in a Snow
Snake Hunt
MANIroU, Colo, June 6.-He was from
Vermont and had not been long in Manitou
before he succeeded in making many
friends and acquaintanoes, most of whom
regarded him as a first rate fellow in every
respect. But there may be a few, who may
be termed mellow minority, who, by a
different algebraic system, were we'll nigh
sure that he was tenderfoot. Yesterday
the question was put to test and settled
for all time. ''Say, Robinson began one of
an invading party of six. "You are some
what of sport, amt your but I'll wager
the drinks you never caught a
snow snake in your life." "Snow
snakes! Never SO much as heard
of them." "Then you ought to make one
OF our party. We are going up the peak
this evening to hunt up few. You see
the reptiles only come out at night, so we
tackle the sport after dark Robinson ex-
pressed his approval an6 soon a thing
resembling barrel with both ends
stance extended across one of the extremi-
ties. coal oil lamp was also brought into
requisition and the Joyous party set out
after the novel sport. On the Way up
the hill the method of securing
the reptiles was explained to Robinson.
"You see this machine2 Well, it is laid on
the ground, 80, the open end towards the
top of the hill. At the other end we have
the lamp, which sheds soft light through
the gauze. and it is thereby that the snakes
are enchanted and Immediately make for
the barrel.''
Robinson took in the modus operandi
without murmur, and gleefully thought
of the glowing account he would send his
Vermont pals of his snake hunting ex-
ploits. As he was not experienced in the
matter of hunting out the snakes, he readily
agreed to take up his post at the barrel
holding the candle, while the rest of the
party went up the hill and drove the ami
mails downwards. Well. this was where the
jokers got in their work, as sliding
around the knob of the hill, they
mounted their horses and rode headlong
homeward. There was lots of fun at the
Cliff house for everybody except poor Rob-
inson, who, after standing sentinel with
his barrel and candle for some three hours,
concluded that snow snake hunting was
not 80 much of sport as he anticipated.
He accordingly looked around for his trusty
steed, and finding that it too had gone back
on him. finally concluded to face the occa-
sion like nan. He was very tired when
he reached the hotel. and still more weary
when his tormentors had completed lively
discussion about gauzy barrels and candles
and Slch.

Lawyer Turns Spy.

CHICAGO, June 6.-The cases of the pros
ecution against striking carpenters, be-
gun by the old Masters association for in
timidation of non-union workmen, were
called to-day. Four of the strikers were
discharged and the other cases continued.
The principal attorney for the Masters as
sociation posed during the strike as the
most ardent friend of the journeymen. He
made speech at their meetings. advising
such radical measures that at the time the
other speakers refused to remain on the
platform with him. The carpenters now
assert that he was a spy in the employ of
the Masters association.

A VERSATILE MURDERER.

Four Victims Disposed OF at Different
Times. and Probably Another.
SEDAI1A. Mo-, June 6.-Thomas William
son. the murderer of Jefferson Moore and
son Charles has made written confession.
He says he quarreled with Charlie, killed
him with an axe and buried the body. He
told the family Charlie had gone visiting.
A few days later during a quarrel with the
old man Moore said he killed him in the
same way and made similar disposition of
the body. Regarding his lWilliamson's)
wife he says her death was caused by a
dose of medicine he gave her for the
cramps. Hs buried her body without a
permit because he was too poor to buy a
coffin. 1t has just been learned that Will
Hanson, in 1866, killed farmer, Charles
Keech, near Peoria. Illinois: He was tried
and sentened to be hanged, but Governor
Oglesby commuted the sentence to twenty
years imprisonment. He served seventeen
years, and when released came to Missouri.
The police think Williamson guilty of
another murder two years ago.

1t has reached that pass in this
State that it is the regular thing
for Nevada office-holder, wheth-
or holding State or county office,
to take the money hegcts from Ne
vada taxpayers, and invest it in
California. Many of these men
do not invest, and hardly spend a
dollar in this State, but merely
look upon each year Of office-hold-
ing as so much more money to
salt down in California, and the
moment the party declines to re-
nominate tnem they pack their grip

Men who are willing to accept
Office in Nevada year after year,
ought to consider this State quite |
good enough to live in after they
have been relieved Of the respon-
sibilities of office holding.
After these parties have sucked |
ali the pap possible from the State
and county treasures, they slide
over to California with their saw
ings, to invest, go through all
their money in few years and
come back to Nevada fiat broke.
About the first thing they do is
run for Office again, and some
newspaper comes to the front
with:
"The friends of Mr.. are
trying to induce him to accept a
nomination on the ticket this Fall.
Mr.. is and old resident of
this State and stood by it in its
darkest days. He is once more
here to link his fortunes with the
land of his choice, and his name
ON the ticket would be a tower OF
to it"
The APPEAL would like to see
every candidate who comes up for
office this Fall, State or county,
be asked the question:
SHOW much of the money you
have made in this State have you
invested in California or Oregon"
When an office-holder is paying
more taxes in California than he is
