To XIII or wolves.

j. NJ. Campbell, the most extensive sheep
man In western Texas, has lost 20 per cent Of
his flock during the past twelve months.
wolves have been killed on his ranch since
January. Mr.. Campbell endeavored to get
rid OF the pests by poisoning them, but met
with little success.
He has now hit upon novel scheme for ex-
terminating every wolf In western Texas. It
Ia by the innoculation of disease among them.
In order to do this he trapped ten vol yes
about two months ago and penned them up
with dog which was badly afflicted with the
mango. The wolves soon caught the disease
and arc nov thoroughly covered with the
parasites which produce 1t. They will be
turned loose on the ranch In few days, and
Mr.. Campbell expects the disease to spread
among the wolves so rapidly that there will
not be one OF them left In Texas in two years.
II Mr. Campbell's experiment is a success 1t
will be worth thousands of dollars TO the
sheep interests Of Texas annually.

toward midnight make Roosevelt
street gay. There is gas lamp
almost in front of the door. Toward
9 o'clock the other evening two OF
these 'longshoremeu, having taken
about all they could carry. pushed
their way unsteadily into the street.
The door had hardly closed behind
them when those on the inside heard
two terrific yclls. "Whoop-whoop-o-
a-gee!' and they came tumbling back
into the saloon with their eyes bulg-
Ing.
Whats the mat tterP" said every-
body.
The men couldn't speak for min
ute. Then they said: "a snake!"
This caused wild shout OF laugh
ter. But tho men swore that the
snake was not OF that kind. "We
saw it slipping along in the guttcr."
| said one OF them. alt was fifteen feet
long. and was as big around as any
two arms in the crowd" But they
were so heartily laughed at that they
decided that they had been mistaken.
Nothing more was heard OF tho
anaconda until morning. 1t was
rather early when two laborers from
tho department OF public works came
with their tools to tho nan-hole at
Roosevelt and Front streets. They
took OIL tho cover and let down lad
dor into the sewer, and one OF them
descended with pick and shovel.
He attacked the frozen mud at the
bottom OF tho man-holc. Pretty soon
his companion on the surface heard
series OF mufIlcd yclls from the bot
tom OF the man-hole.
| "Woop! Woop! Hully gee"
..What's the mattcr?" he asked.
"Let down that ladder"
He let down the ladder, and In q
jlfIy the other man was on the sur
face. "Ihere's snake down there" +"
he said. "the biggest | ever see."
Tho two men consulted. and finally
sent for the local authority upon
snakes. Mr.. Burns. As soon as they
| told him he knew that his anaconda
had been found. He went down tho
ladder, md there. cure enough, was
his anaconda frozen hard in the mud
He dug it out and brought its stih
body to the surface. 1t was twelve
feet long with head about four
inches long. Its body was much
swollen, being nearly twice as thick
as its normal diameter OF eight
inches. The middle of the body was
especially distended.
Burns cut the anaconda open and
found in the stomach the bodies of
half u dozen big sewer rats. which
the anaconda had not had time to
digest before it was frozen to death.
