SNAKES ARE VICIOUS,
But Few of Them are Poisonous, and
Those Can he Distinguished.

But Few OF Them are Poisonous, and
Those Can he Distinguished.
All snakes are naturally vicious, but
they are not all poisonous. None of
the larger varieties are poisonous, and
you can always tell a poisonous snake
by the formation of his head, which is
shaped round. Back of the eyes there
is high lump rising from inside the
head. The harmless snake has a long
head, and it kills by crushing, while a
poisonous snake darts at you. The
anacondas hardly ever bite, and in Bra
iii it is quite common for householder
TO keep few of them around his resi-
dence for the purpose of killing the
rats, which are great pest in that part
of the world.
Among the poisonous snakes there is
the variety known rs the coral, which
is found in Venczula. Any one bitten
by coral snake dies in the most horri-
BILE agony, his blood bursting or oozing
out through the pores of the skin.
Any snake that measures over seven or
eight feet is not poisonous; in fact | do
not know any that grow over six feet
long. The rattlesnake is the largest
poisonous snake we have in this coun-
try. Then there are the deaf adder,
the black water snake, the moccasin.
These are about the only poisonous
snakes we have in the United States.
The men who call themselves snake
charmers' do not handle poisonous
snakes If they have a rattlesnake they
extract his fangs, and in that way rem
der him perfectly harmless. This
operation is easily performed by means
of silk handkerchief which is waved
in front of the snake, who snaps at it
viciously, when the handkerchief is
suddenly pulled away, bringing the
fangs with it. Or, you can cut the
artery that feeds the poison bag and
thus destroy the source of supply. This
is rather difficult operation, however,
although have often had occasion to
perform it on rattlesnalIes Something,
generally piece of cork, is put in tho
snakes mouth to keep it open; the
teeth of the reptile become imbedded
in the cork, and you have a chance to
cut the artery. Taking the teeth out
Of rattlesnal1e is like pulling feathers
out of bird; they will form again

The thing that has given the gold
monometallists their Continued lease of
power is the subservfency su of the voters
to party. The majority of the west and
south have been in favor of silver for
years, but have gone on voting for
candidates who have been nominated
by gold influence, purposely to carry
out gold projects. Whenever the voters
say our material interests are para
mount to party subserviency. and we
will vote for them only, we will get
silver coinage, and it don't look as if
there was any hope for getting it until

A Boise Attorney Retained to Defend
Peter Nedlen.

Albert A. Fraser a Boise attorney has
been employed as counsel for Peter
Medlin, the man who, on the 18th inst,
at DeLamar, shot and killed w. A..
Steele. The defendant has been held to
await the action of the Owyhee County
grand jury. If he is indicted, as he
surely will be, be will be tried at Silver
City during the July term of the Third
district court, before Judge Nngent.
The bitter feeling engendered by the
tragedy has not subsidized to any appre-
ciablo extent. The friends of the mur-
dered man demand justice, and if they
cannot get it in the courts they will
probably take the law into their own
hands.
Although Mediums was cruel crime,
he has many partisans, and they declare
that if he is acquitted at his trial he shall
go free and unframed, no matter what
effort the friends ofthe slaughtered man
may make.

/ Quite large number of gentlemen n
asse m bled at the school house Saturday
evening to witness the wrestling contest

Trembling gave au exhibition of their
skill in the art, in which Uren was in
it all the time and got fall ou. of Jack
at which the audience was much slated

favorite with the boys. Shortly after s
O'Clock time was called, and two as fine
specimens of physical manhood as can
be found, stepped promptly on the can
vass, shook hands, and Immediately
commenced work in earnest When
time was called after the third hitch,
Stoll arose and said he could not wrestle
as he had been hurt. Jefford claimed
the match which was objected to, but
he was allowed fall and Stoll given ten
minutes-the time between falls-to
come to the scratch. AT the expiration
of the time it was evident that he was
in no condition to go in the ring, and
the stakes and gate money were given
to Jefford. Opinion was divided as to
what the final result would have been
had the accident not occurred. Both |
men are giants and we'll scienced and |
each evidently trying to win. Tremell-
