How 6naitea Climb.

How do snakes climb? Is question
which has been frequently asked. Many
have Thought that they accomplish ia,
feat by wrapping themselves about the
tree and following a spiral course up
ward. Several years ago story wen,
the rounds of the papers to the effect
that two woodchoppers, having felled 8
large oak tree several feet in diameter
and very tall, found in its top two com
mon blacksnakes.
After pondering for nome time the
men arrived at the conclusion that one
snake had taken hold of the others tail
and thus by cooperation they had beer
enabled to clasp the trunk, and by cir
cling about it had ascended to the top.
Whatever probability may have at
tached to this conclusion has been dis
PEELED by the observation of two young
naturalists while hauling firewood FROM
the forest.
A black snake, measuring perhaps a
tritie over six feet, WAS found clinginq
to the side Of a small tree, around which
1t could have wrapped itself nearly twic.
had it wished to do SO. Instead of this
the snake passed right and left at short
distances, catching the folds along its
under parts over and behind tho slightly
projecting roughnesses Of bark.
AS the snake rested only fve or six
feet off the ground one Of the young
men grasped Its tail to test Its climbing
qualities, but 80 great WAS the force with
which it pulled upward that it proved a
difficult task to hold 1t. Finally, becom-
Ing annoyed at this i'll treatment, the
snake reached down threatenirgly vt the
offending hands, and losing its hold fell
to the ground. It was borne home in
triumph but was afterward returned
uninjured to the forest. Youths Com.

HIS ENDED.

\ Would-bc Murderer Commits Suicide.
About ten O'Clock last Sunday morn
ing w. }. Saultry appeared at the
Wheeler residence, below Schuster's
slaughter house, and engaged in CONVEX
sation with his wife who was lying in a
hammock. He wore a belt containing a
forty-five calibre colts revolver and
plenty of cartridges and also carried a
bundle OF clothes. Becoming engaged in
:; dispute, Saultry reproducing his wife,
he suddenly drew the revolver and with
''Ill fix you" began firing. Two Of the
three shots fired took effect, n causing
two wounds. Then placing the revolver
close to his own head, he blew his brains
out, dying instantly.
Domestic troubles were the cause Of
the tragedy, Saultry being a drinking
man, he and his wife having separated
several times. Mrs. Saultry and her
folks had been berrying last week and
last Saturday Saultry called upon Dis
trict Attorney Brown to swear out a
warrant for the arrest OF his wife and d
rancher living at Greenwood, upon a
| charge OF adultry. There was not suffi.
Gent evidence upon which to base the
charge and he was SO adylsed. 1t seems
he had brooded over his wrongs until he
attempted the life OF his wife and ended
his own. He was a plumber by trade
and had worked for Congdon & Henry.

The remains were inferred Monday after
noon in Mountain View cemetry.

Der II, has secured the Mexican band to
give daily concersts in the Palace during
the coming festival. This band is one

4great musical organization, but it is
ALSO something OF a novelty in this

Wedding and Family Reunion


The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B.
Mccain wGs the scene Of Il wedding and
family reunion on July %. At eleven
O'Clock MISS Violet Mccain and Lynn
Mccain, Miss Aggie Mccain and Merle
Mccain, followed by the bride and groom,
Miss Jessie B. Mccain and Frank G.
Thompson, entered the parlor to a
march played by Mrs. w. H. Jennings.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. w. II. Jennings. The esteem in
which the amiable and contented dispo-
sitlon OF the bride were held by her
friends was duly shown by the numerous
useful presents she received. After con-
gratulations Il bountiful lap lunch was
done justice to.
Although Mr.. and Mrs. McCain's
married life lacks but four years OF a
half century, tins occurrence occasioned
the meeting OF their nine children for the
first time. Their living grandchildren,
in number twenty-one, were also pres.
emit. These, with Others present, made

will Immediately notify all sub-alliances.
Any member noticing q stray belonging
to the organization will at once notify
the party by card. \ membership lee
or dues will lie charged; for necessary x
penses and to establish a fund for use in
cases where stock is stolen and prosecu-
tions needed. This is not intended for
the large stockman, but for the average
farmer. The practicability OF the plan
ran be seen at a glance. For such asso-
Citations to accomplish anything there
mustbe organization. This is only effected
by time and money. But in this case
we have the organization on which to
build. Every valley has from two to
four alliances and many are located on
the divides. Sub-alliances are also being
rapidly organized IN Wyoming. At the
cost of u few cents and II weeks time, all
the membership OF these societies will be
on the lookout for stock. We may be
sure that stock thieves will give the dis.
trict brand a wide birth.

VAN ANIBURGHS.

Van Amburgh's has come and gone and
carried some $4,000 OF the peoples hard
: earned money with them. The most
that we can say for them is that they
were liberal advertisers. The press re-
celved a share of their ill-gotton gains,
but the greatest benefit the people got
wars from their immense show boards.
The performance when compared with
their statements through the press and
their flaming show bills was a fraud OF
the iirst water. The tumbling, contor-
tons, and tight rope performance was
fairly good. They had no trained ami
mails and the menagerie was slim affair.

A Black Hills stock Organization.

@ n AsS - ~
A year ago the Pennington county ALI
ance took steps toward a stock protec-
ton association. The plan az simple
and would have covered Pennington
county %effectually. But those having
the matter in charge soon realized that
to make the organization a success, it
miuct reach all tie counties OF the Hills.
Local affairs have been proven by exper-
fence to be but a.waste OF time and
means. To this end the matter was
brought before the District alliance at
its last session. The plan was heartily
endorsed and a committee appointed to
formulate a plan and draft bylaws.
Ii committee have held one session
andfrom them we get an idea OF the
plan. Thesbeneftsewill be confined to
members Of the alliance. 1t has been
Suggested that Il district brand be re-
corded and used by members that their
stock be quickly recognized on any range.
This is under advisenlent. A brand
book will be published containing the
brands and address Of all members d

furnished with acopy Of the book. Any
