Two Awards Received by SteckeI, the
Photographer, at the Fair.
The large and varied exhibit OF
Steckel, the photographer, was honored
by receiving the highest awards for
portrait photography and groups, at the
Sixth District Agricultural District fair,
yesterday
Mr. Steckel's ability as an artist in
grouping has already been attested. by
the high awards received at the annual
conventions of the Photographic associa-
tion OF America, held at Boston and
Buffalo. At the former place one of the
criticisms published in Anthony's Photo
Bulletin of New York, stated that Mr..
SteckePs groups were the most original
and most artistic ever seen. On general
display Mr.. Steckel came in second, but
the fact that the technical merit of his
portrait photography was recognized,
alone more than compensated him for
hia efforts. Special mention is made of
the excellent platinotypes OF Governor
Markham and General McCook and
others. This work is of the most beau
tiful that is produced in photography,
and will necessarily draw the attention
of lovers of art photography to his
studio

WHISKY AND A ToURNIOUET
The Combination Saves Mexican
WOman's Life,

The Combination Saves a Mexican
woman's Life.
A Mexican woman, the wife of Sec
ton hand at Ogilby, says the Yuma
Times, was bitten last Thursday night
by species of small rattlesnake locally
known as the sidewiper, and would
have died but for prompt assistance.
She was engaged in putting her three
young children to bed when the reptile
struck her ON the left ankle.
The three cars of quarantined railroad
passengers were at Ogilby that night
and on hearing of the woman's misfor-
tune some of them determined to save
her life if possible. The nearest physi-
clan was 16 miles distant at Yuma. Mr..
j. 0. Dunbar, editor of the Phoenix
Gazette, took the matter in hand, and
tried to induce the woman's husband
to suck the poison from the wound. He
was afraid to do so, and then Mr.. Dun
bar bound silk handkerchief around
the woman's leg below the knee and
twisted it tightly with stick. One OF
the passengers had bottle of whisky
and the woman was kept under the in
fuence of the liquor.
DR.. Cotter, the quarantine officer, ar
rived the next morning and by that
time the woman's leg was perfectly
black below the bandage. The doctor
at once lanced the black portion in
about 30 places, the poisoned blood ran
out and the lance cuts were washed
with dilute acid. The patient was
brought to Yuma Snd soon after the
poison began to show itself above the
knee. The same treatment was again
restored to with good results. The wo-
man will recover and retain her limb.
whereas it was first thought it would
have to be amputated.
