A Crazy Ncbraskan Creates Sensation
at Newcastle, Wyo.
NEWCASTLE, Wyo., Feb. s.-An at
tempt to steal a passenger train OF the
Burlington and Missouri was made upon
the arrival of the passenger train yes
terday, after the passengers had left
the train and the train men were about
to start for breakfast. One of the in
coming passengers jumped on the en-
CINE and pulled the throttle wide open,
but owing to the airbreaks being On and
the application of the entire force of
steam of the engine SO suddenly, the
drive wheels spun rapidly around on
the track and failed to start the train.
He was at once arrested by the en-
ployes Of the road and placed in Jail.
He says his name is Cundum Gard, and
lives near Chadron. He is undoubtedly

TRACKING SNAKES BY SCENT.

Wonderful Hunting Powers ofthe Austral-
ian When 0uickened by Hunger.
When the Australian black fellow is
pushed and can find no other game he
catches snakes, lizards, iguanas and
kangaroo rats, the wiliest and most
agile Of all wild animals on their own
ground and amid surroundings the most
favorable to their concealment, by
simply exercising the faculties of q
superior wild animal.
With those wonderful, great brown
eyes of his he can see the faintest trail
where snake has zigzagged through
the dry moss and leaves, or the slightest
footmark where an iguana had fled from
his approach to its refuge in hollow
tree, says the Forest and Stream. When
daylight fails him and the dews of even
ing begin to fall, his broad nostrils take
up the chase, and, stooplng down
among the bushes, with a tough forked
stick in his hand to support him in his
tiring attitude, he follows the track as
unerringly as any bloodhound. When
he runs snake to earth, if he cannot
surprise it in the open and kill it by a
sudden blow Of his stick, he sguats over
its hole, holding the forked end of his
stick downward, and makes a low, hiss
ing or whistling sound with his lips.
Soon the snake puts his head out of
the hole and peers around. In an in
slant the forked stick descends and
fixes it to the ground by the neck. and
the black fellow, seizing it firmly with
his muscular hands just behind the
head, SO that it cannot bite him. drags
it out of the hole and twists it's head
off; or. If it is too strong for that.
pounds 1T on the ground until its back
is broken. So with the iguanas and all
the other animals. The black fellow
never loses their trail when once he
gets upon it, and having followed them
to their lair, he patiently awaits until
they come out or until he is able to get
hand in and pull them out.
The black fellows declare, and prob
ably with truth, thatnot single animal
can escape them If shey have time to
hunt piece of desert country thor
oughly. When they want to return to
camp they can follow their own trail by
sight with the greatest ease, but they
say they cannot follow their own
trail by scent at all. 1t has no
scent for them, though another mans
has strong scent. This is one OF
the most curious facts connected with
these strange people. but it is only in
accord with tho we'll known natural
phenomena.

PERPETUAL LEAP-YEAR.
A Place Where the Men Arc Spared the
Trouble of WOoing.

A Place Where the Men AFRO Spared the
Trouble of Wooing.
In Ukraine, think Of it, We spinsters
and celibates, all the courting is done
by the women! The man has nothing to
do with the affair. Like Mariana in the
moated grange he merely sits and waits.
If the young woman feels stealing
gently DER her fancy for particular
young man she discloses to him the
true condition of affairs.
Does he love ner? Then the marriage
ceremony is arranged without DE- ay..
Does he not love her? Then tho love-
sick damsel plants herself in his resi-
dence and announces that she will stay
there until revolution shall come in
his feelings. The young man is help:
less, because the friends of the young
woman will avenge any afiront that the
man shall offer to her. But he is not
compelled by either law or custom to
endure her presence forever. When he
becomes tired of the attentions OF the
sloyelorn lass he can pack up his lares
and penates and move out. When the
affair reaches this climax 1t is equiva..
lent to an announcement that the Young
man positively will not wed.

To Create New once Holders.

WASHINGTON, Feb. e.-The house
committee on merchant marine today
took up the Bates load line bill, which
was introduced at the opening of the
session by Congressman Farouhar, of
New York. Considerable opposition to
this measure has been manifested by
the vessel men of Cleveland, Chicago
dhd other cities, and q large number Of
remonstrances have been sent here for
presentation to the committee. 1t is
contended that there can be no over
loading on the lakes because of the
shallow rivers and harbors, and that con-
seqquently the bill will serve no purpose
except to create new class Of office
holders. Delegates from tho leading
marine cities are also here to oppose the

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. s.-There
has been good deal of talk during the
past few weeks regarding what has
been considered the impolitic course of
United States Senator Charles b. Far
we'll in antagonizing the leading repub-
licans of this state in the attitude
which he has taken toward the presi-
dent in the matter of appointments.
Private advices from Washington, how
ever, say that this independence can be
explained by the fact that the senator
is not candidate for reelection. He
has had enough of political honors, and
the condition of his health would make
it impossible for him to servo another
term

Hudson.s Bay's Resources.

A Canadian surveyor who was on.
gagged in an official expedition in Hud-
sons bay in 1885 and 1856 says few peo-
pie have any idea OF the resources Of
this great sea. Its shores are the
haunts of the musk OK, the moose, the
reindeer, the red deer, the white bear
and his black brother, the otter, the
beaver, the mink, the black fox, also
the silver, gray and white varieties.
and other valuable fur bearing animals.
Its waters are teeming with the most
valuable varieties of water animals and
fish. Ee has seen the bay as far as the
eye could reach appear one undulating
mass of white purpoises. Both the
hides and oil Of these are very valuable.
In some parts of the bay and in the
straits the shores of the islands are
swarming with walrus. 1t has been re-
ported by Professor Bell that on one
island on the east coast there was found
to be thickly strewn with the ivory
tusks of the warlus. The tusks are
valuable, though the chief value of the
warlus lies in the hide, which weighs
on the average 300 pounds, and is worth
from 10 to 20 cents per pound

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-Advices from
Paris say that the new protective treaty
which the committee on French customs
propose to substitute for the various ex-
listing treaties is aimed especially at the
United States. 1t fixes a tariff abso-
lutely prohibitory on all commodities
in which French manufacturers and
tradesmen need protection, but discrim-
mates in favor of those countries which
give France commercial advantages.
