William Somcrs was fatally bitten by
large rattlesnake on Raby Creek, in
Boise county, Idaho, on Sunday last.
He was cut hunting. and seeing a deer
he jumped into a hole in order that he
might conceal himself. The hollow
proved to be rattlesnake den, and
Somers lost no time in jumping out
again. A dozen snakes bit his boots,
but their flngs did not penetrate the
tough leather. The deer having been
frightened away Somers decided to
have some fun with the den of snakes,
which numbered 100 or more. He
lighted bundle of pine needles and
threw them into the hole. As the
snakes darted about trying TO escape,
Somers threw rocks and sticks at them;
AT the height of his sport he reached
down to pick up what appeared 10 be
portion ola tree limb. 1t was really
one of the snakes Somers had wounded.
II coiled itself and bit him upon his
right wrist. Somers started on the II, run
for his camp three miles away, The
SIM was warm. and the venom OF the
snake accomplished its deadly work
before he had run half q mile. The
corpse was so terribly swollen that an
ordinary coffin was too small to ho!d Ii.

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
F0G .iLEX.lNDRLl, FOR rIRGfNIf
AND FOR DEMOCRACY.

Features-Associated Press
Dispatches, Washington and
Richmond correspondence, dai-
" market reports, Local News
and matters Of interest to Viz
GINA, but more especially to
this city and section Of Virginia.
The GAZETTE is now the old
est paper in the State, and with
few exceptions the oldest in
the country, and its usefulness
has been demonstrated and APP
preciatcd for nearly a century.
In its columns has always
been foand a mirror Of passing
events and the careful chron-
icing Of the history of what is
going on in the world has ever
been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the
household, while in the count
ing room and workshop it has
become invaluable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it
is so close to Washington, the
great centre of news, enjoys
daily the benefit Of the Asso-
GATED Press dispatches from
every part Of the world hence
its patrons can read from its
columns in the evening what
has transpircd that day in ev-
cry portion of the United States
as well as from every part of
the habitabIc globe. Conse-
quently it is an everyday &C
currence for the GAZETTE to
publish kilograms from the va
rious European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier
than the morning papers.
Correspondence from Wash
ington, Richmond and every
section of Virginia is published
regularly, and all events Of in
terest occurring within the
bounds Of the Commonwealth
are to be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The Local Department fur
nishes a full and complete II
tory of everything that occur
in and near the city and this
feature will, as ever, receive
careful attention.
Another feature that serves
to make the GAZETTE a great
desidcratum with merchants is
its afternoon Market Reports
from all the great centres Of
the country.
The GAzErrE's circulation in
this city is now larger than at
any time in its history and is
steadily increasing, especially
among those who consult its
advertising columns before
purchasing.
THE COUNTRY EDITION
is nearly as large as that of the.
daily. This edition is sent out
three times a week. The adj
vantages of advertising in this
PAPER are apparent.
