HUNTING GROUSE.

Sacramento News.
Grouse-shooting has its disappointments
as well as It's pleasures. Two gentlemen,
we'll known In shooting circles in this city,
had a practical demonstration of this last
week. Ed Robbins and George Neale knew
OF "a good place" for grouse in the neigh
borhood of Deer Park and Squaw Valley.
nine miles south of Truckee. They supplied
themselves with enough shells TO last for
two or three days shooting-if birds were
plentiful Mr.. Neale had splendid success
killing grouse there In the early part of
August, and he had no DOUBT he could re-
peat it any time be again visited the place.
lie told his friend Robbins about il, and
the two were seen on Neale's good ground"
in day afteTward
They faithfully worked every clump of
bushes in the entire valley. They rried all
the places where Neale had been so success
full before. But. aside from killing half a
dozen birds. they came away with empty
bags.
Mr.. Neale could not account for his fail
ure to find birds. Any old grouse hunter
could have told bin that as soen as the feed
becomes dry and as the season advances
the birds sought the mountain tops, and
later still worked down on the western
slope. That is why where birds were plen-
tiiul in August none were to be found in
October. Late in the fall, before the first
snow, in the region of Five Lakes Creek,
which is ten miles west Of where Neae and
Robbins were, grouse are very plentiful,
but they are up the very highest points of
the ridges. where the elevation is from 5000
to 11,000 feet. 1t takes big lungs and mus
cles to hunt them there. and the man from
the valley will find his heart humping and
his eyelids Quiyering IL he undertakes to
follow the grouse into their IN fountain home

BITTEN BY A BABOON.
A Butte Woman Killed by the Pet She
Cherished.

Butte Inter-Mounta'n.
Mrs. Lavonia RedIich. the wife OF an East
Park-street saloon-keeper, who was bitten
by young baboon on last Friday morning,
died at O'clock this morning from the
effects of the bite. The saloon-keeper
keeps a collection OF animals and birds, TO
attract customers TO his place of business.
Last Friday morning a young balloon was
received by him from California. and pend
ing its transfer TO cage was
chained TO post in the center
of TIE saloon. Mrs. Redlich usually
fed the animals each morning and was
playfully caressing another pet monkey.
AS she approached the haboon the vicious
brute sDrang upon her and sank his teeth
into her right hand. The bite was a pain
full one. but no serious results were antici-
pated until about an hour afterward, when
the woman was taken with severe pains In
the body and tile hand and arm began TO
swell. Wien a physician was called he
pronounced il a severe case of blood
poisoning. The woman's body by this
time had almos. turned black, and as the
poison had circulated all over the body,
it was decided that amputRtion of the
wounded hand would be useless az this
time. During the past week the woman
Suffered frightful agony, and although
every aDtidOte known to science was used
to counteract the effects Of the poison. she
suceumbed 10 its effects as stated. Before
her death she requested her husband not TO

The Cond uctor's Little Joke.


A conductor on a street railway in one of
our cities where the bell punch is still in
vogue. punched the passengers ticket leis-
urey and walked back to the platform.
The other passenger was roosting there on
the rail. To him the conductor spake:
Pleasant day." he said.
Yes" said the passenger. who was an
acquaintance of the conductor.
Not much car travel on pleasant days"
continued the conductor. People rather

The passenger looked bis question.
Know what that is?" asked the con-
ductor.
The passenger shook his head.

New Orleans. Cleaned up S35, 600 with it in
about two hours and only had to knock

A few DAYS ago James H. Holt. the big
member of the Holt & Gregg corporation.
left the big brickyard near Anderson for
a quail hunt along the banks OF the Sacra-
mento River. Under cover Of brush
he discovered a nice flock OF birds. but
when re raised his gun to have shot they
disappeared lie felt satisfied that there
were quite a number under q particular
bush and he bazed away. The noisy
fluttering which followed told him the
result, and he ran for his prize, and just
as he was reaching out his hand to
catch wounded quail he was suddenly
shocked TO discover an enormous rattle
snake in the line of the bird. Jim,
although weighing nearly 800 pounds.
jumped backward six feet from the
brush. and then gained his breath He
approached the birds again, with his gun
cooked and ready for a sudden shot, and
learned that the snake was dead. When
he fired ut the birds he killed the snake
and six quail, although none oil the birds or
the serpent were In view. The snake had
eight rattles and button and was three
and half feet in length.
