MONGOIIAN PHEASANTS.
Warden Aull Preparing to Stock the
Hills with Them.

warden Aull Preparing to Stock the
Hills with Them.
Says the Folsom Telegraph: "Warden
Aull has received a consignment of Mon
golian pheasants, consisting of three
cocks and six hens, and has prepared a
suitable place to keep them. He expects
to be able to raise 200 by next season. The
pheasant is a prolific breeder. and it will
not take long to populate this and adjac-
ent counties with this magnificent game
bird. A few years ago couple of dozen
were imported into Oregon. The Legis-
lature of that State protected them, and
now they are so abundant that the hunters
do not materially decrease them. Our
last Legislature also passed a stringent
law, protecting them for three years. Any
person found with one in their possession
is subject to heavy fine.
1.-The Warden and other sportsmen will
see to it that all such cases are prosecuted
to the full extent of the law. 1t is the
intention to set the eggs under domestic
hens, and when the brood is about the
size of quail TO release them in various
parts Of the surrounding country. BY
the time the law expires they will be so
plentiful that sportsmen can look for
ward to splendid hunting. The enter
prise should be encouraged, and amateur
hunters must be careful for the next two
or three years II they want to avoid
trouble.
1T will be very trying to see magnifi-
cent cock pheasant rise out of the bushes
and refrain from shooting at it; but all
genuine sportsmen should realize the OBJ
Ject OF the law and endeavOr to have it
enforced.u

STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.
A Young Girl Wanders From Her
Home AT Might


Nellie Proctor, aged 13 years, the niece
of Hiram Garrett, who resides at Ninth
and U streets, mysteriously disappeared
from the latter's home last night, and up
to l o'clock this morning no tidings of
her were had.
The girl had been out in the early part
of the evening at q neighbours, but was
home before o'clock. About that hour
the rest of the family retired. except Mrs.
Garrett, who went to neighbours house,
and when she returned an hour later her
niece was gone.
Zone of the family knew what had be-
come of her, and the people of the neigh
borhood were aroused and many men
set out to look for her. At o'clock this
morning her cousin called at the RECORD
UNION office and reported that no trace
of his cousin could be found.
The family are at loss to know what
to think of her disappearance, as she has
never been given to running about at
night, and has had no companions that
would be apt to call for her at such an
hour.
She left her hat behind her, from which
it would appear that she did not volUn-
tarily go any distance nor with the inten-
tion of staying away any length of time.
Her relations with the family were pleas
ant, and so far as they are aware there is
no known reason for the girl to leave her
home.
The fear is that she may have fallen into
the hands of some of the rough men or
tramps that infest the city.

AUNT MAsIE, THE SNAKE WOMAN
A Curious Creature Recently Found
Dead Among Her Ruptiles.

Dead Among Her Reptiles.
There has recently died a well-known
character of the neighborhood of Okolona,
Miss, known as "Aunt Masie Huggins," !"
or the "Snake Woman" who lived an
isolated life with snakes as her only
friends. She had built herself howell
composed of branches of trees, clay and
other debris which, though washed down
by the rains she would build up again.
This novel residence is said, by writer
in the Philadelphia Times, to have been
fairly alive with snakes of every local
variety, hanging from overhead. lying
under foot, and creeping from the chlnks
in the wall. The woman subslsted on
the products of small garden near her
cabin, which she cultivated herself. With
the exception of the necessary intercourse
with those from whom she purchased the
few things she required she was never
known for over thirty years to have held
any conversation with any human being.
She could often be met after dark walk
ing through the town with her strange
companions twined about her arms, her
neck and nesting in her bosom with their
ugly heads protruding and kissing at
everyone that passed. On these occa-
sions. however, when hailed or questioned
she would make no reply.
Once some boys Of the neighborhood
prowling about her cabin found several
of the snakes on the outside and killed
them, and before they were aware of it
Aunt Masie appeared in the doorway
armed with shotgun, which she let fly
at the crowd. None of the boys were
killed, but one of them was shot through
the ear and the rest scattered in a hurry.
That the woman's mind was affected
there seems little doubt. Her only son,
while out hunting in the woods, was Bit
ten by rattlesnake, and days afterward
his swollen, discolored body was found.
This appeared to craze his mother, who
left her home, saying the snakes were
calling her to come and live with them
and that in turn they would give her back
her boy. She is said to have come of a

She shook her head dolefully. causing
the tears to fall upon the roses in her lap

Inordinate Love of Books.

/ once knew literary man with love

literary mem, who left his wife one morn

out to try to collect some debts for literary
work done ages agone. God wrought a
miracle in his behalf! He succeeded in
finding publisher tender hearted enough
to pay something for work done. He
started for home in triumph, and ra-
turned laden with old and new editions,
penniless. He had been inveigled into

BOW 1t VIII be Observed In This City
This Afternoon.
This is Labor Day of 1898, and will be
celebrated under the auspices of the Sac
ramento Council of Federated Trades by
mass meeting of the laboring classes at
the Old Pavilion at o'clock this after
noon. Representative men of the bar,
the pulpit and the wage-earners will ad-
dress those present on topics pertinent to
the occasion, and it is likely the capacious
hall will be filled, as all are respectfully
invited to participate.
The business houses, it is hoped, will
concede to their employees the opportun-
ity to be present. and it is also the desire
of organized labor that employers will
also honor the meeting with their pres
ence.
The exercises at the Pavilion will be
beralded by music by the Foresters'
Brass Band. which will also furnish
music tor the dancers in the evening.
Dancing will commence promptly at 3

BY MARSH AND FIELD.
The Meadows and Uplands Swarmed
With shooters Yesterday.

Quite an army of hunters set out yester-
day. the opening day of the shooting sea-
son, in quest of game. Some struck out
for the lakes and sloughs. where the Wild
fowl gather. while others headed for the
hills, the home of the quail.
1t is not likely that any met with much
success, as the ducks have not yet come
down in large numbers, and the coun-
try and weather is too dry for good quail
shooting.
However, all went out happy in an
ticipation of good sport, and if they did
not have it their ardor will not be seri-
ously dampened. Many a man has en-
joyed day afield with gun and dog, even
ii he didn't get leather.

proach of strangers and have not been
seen near the cabin since. By those who
have seen her surrounded by her queer
adopted family it has been estimated that
there must have been at least two hun
dred of them, numbering among them
several venomous varieties. The woman
did not claim to have charmed them, as
the saying goes, but it is probable that
her perfect tearlessness tanned them.

his known prejudice against allot.
ment have kept our country in its
present condition. We could have
had il surveyed long ago but for
his known prejudice against IL.
IL il had been surveyed and allot.
ted he could not have been the
loser, but as it is the whole loss
has fallen on the full-blood Every
white mau, every intruder and
every reserves that has been ad.
mitted here has robbed the full.
blood till he is now almost home
less at home. He has been weak
and unable to protect himself; our
government has failed and refused
to protect him, and it is for this
reason that | would invoke a
change that there might be re-
stored to him a part, at least, Of
what has been taken from him.
This cannot be done without a sur
vey and an allotment of our coun-
try. We have had a system of al
lotment that allowed every man to
fence as much as he wanted and
hold a quarter on the outside of
his improvement. This has left
the full. blood without his share of
the common property. We must
now have the country surveyed
and allotted fairly in order that he
may get his share. We are con.
fronted by a condition that de-
mands it. There is no other way
out of the difficulty. To remain
as we are means his continued
robbery and the robbery of every
body that has not got a proper
share of the public domain. That
is just what the opponents of the
Perkins bill want. They have
got you robbed and they propose
to keep you in that condition, and
hence their opposition. They pre-
tend to want a state organized out
of the five civilized tribes, but they
are opposed to this or any other
measure that would make them
disgorge; then let us, to crafty
their pretended opposition to the
Perkins bill, petition congress for
statehood separate from Oklahoma,
and see if they will sign that; our
petition for this purpose has been
numerously signed, but we want
every person who favors the move
to send in their names at once and
use their influence among their
leighbors for that purpose and
forward them to me at Vinita. l
will see that they are attached to
the petition and forwarded to con-
gress at once, soon as the names
are all in. Yours respectfully,
