An Equal Chance Suggested.

There is an intimation in one of the
reports that Mr.. Wittig will finally re-
sort to violence to right his supposed
wrongs.
In that case he will have the same
advantage of the JOURNAL a madden

event of similar difference.
The result would not prove that the
elephant was right.
But if Mr.. Wittig feels hurt, let him.

Brief Mention,

There is reason why the JOURNAL
cannot this week resent in full the
talk in Council last Monday evening
of Messrs. Wittig, Lammert, Wright,
Gunnett and Wilson.
This much must be said, however:
The JOURNAL is surprised at Messrs.
Wilson and Gunnett, with whom it
never found any fault save of yielding
to the aggressiveness and stubbornness
of one man.
For Wittig the JOURNAL cares no.
thing.
AT a remark Of j. B. Wright the
JOURNAL is astounded. In consoling
language he told Wittig "to consider
the source" He did not know, how
ever, that the JOURNAL has had for
over two months a letter, written for
publication, giving "the other side"
of Texas case-a letter which we
suppressed out of consideration for
him and his family. All this after
that long case had gone on without a
solitary reference to tin the JOURNAL
save one Of qualification over the
narrow escape. Mr.. Wright is one of
the last men, under the circumstances,
who should stanl and point to the
JOURNAL as unworthy of respectful
consideration. AS the matter stands,
and until he withdraws his unfortunate
remark as publicly as he made it, he
will be regarded at least in this paper
henceforth as not meriting the slightest
creditable mention in any connection.

THE SNAKE WOULDN'T TURN.
They Had Him in a Lathe and Were Coin:
to Use Him for Shafting.

They Had Him in a Lathe and Were Going
to Use Him for Shafting.
From the Cincinnati Tribune.
In the fall of 1886 was sent from an east
ern firm to Colorado to superintend the erec-
ton OF a sawmill to replace an old one which
was destroyed by fire. Everything went on
nicely and the mill was in running order in
about two weeks, with the exception of a coun-
ter shaft to run the planer and hatcher, which
was missing. To send to the factory would
take not less than two weeks and we came to
the conclusion to cut piece off the old line
shaft and turn it up ourselves. as we had
an old lathe standing next to the boiler and en-
CINE.
The weather of the last month was drv and
very warm, but at sunset that DAY heavy
snow storm set in and the thermometer
dropped to zero. The next morning we sent
our engineer to get one of those old line shafts,
but found them covered with snow and ice At
last he succeeded in getting hold of piece about
eight feet long. 1t measured about two inches
IN diameter, somewhat thicker in the center
and tapered at one end. We needed only five
feet. SO we sent for sledge and chisel to cut
on the right length. Ore stroke and off flew
the thin part. told the men this kind of iron
would not do. but the engineer said all iron
would break like this in weather; it soon
would be all right il it came into the lathe next
wise and conferred same, and from there to the
lathe, put the steady rest into position, and
tried to turn it to the right side, but all in vain.
As said above, the lathe was located near the
boiler. warm place. the ice had melted dur
ing the time and the shaft got softer and softer
and the tool would not cut at ALL
At this moment the proprietor of the place
stepped in and, seeing his man running the
lathe, asked him what he was gong to do. ~
am trying to turn shaft for our planer, but
never saw piece of iron like this. First it
was as hard as glass, but as soon as it got warm
it turned soft, and is getting softer all the
time" The proprietor took step forward
just in time to see the two ends drop out Of the
centers, but held in the middle by the steady
rest, showing several different colors. The pro-
prietOr was old man and had for many years
lived in Colorado, and one glance convinced
him that his engineer had taken frozen rattle
snake for piece of iron. cut off the tail and
put the balance in the lathe to turn same off for
a counter shaft. The snake was not hanging on
the rest longer than a minute when it COM
menced to whirl around to free itself. All the
men ran. and the snake after them. until some
body killed it with club. We looked for the
tail, which by this time had also thawcd. and
found fifteen rattles on same. The engineer
swore he never would look for another piece of
iron on day like this in Colorado.
