Nfanitoba's snake Mountain,

There is horseshoe-shaped mountain
up in Manitoba which literally swarms
with snakes twice every year. In the
early fall these slippery customers
gather here from all directions, mostly
from the prairie country to the south.
In one side OF the mountain there is a
circular hole about fifteen feet deep.
and as smooth as If it had been
fashioned with well auger,
where tens of thousands of reptiles
gather to spend the cold winter months.
Persons who have tried to explore this
immense snake den during the summer.

Convict Wilkin May Be Insane
Social News

Social News.
A GLOBE correspondent called at the
prison yesterday to ascertain if possible
the motive that inspired o. P. Wilkin.
the convict. to make such desperate
break for liberty Friday evening, but
tine prison officials are unable to give
any motive for his rash act. Warden
Wolfer, in speaking of the break, said
that in all his prison experience he had
only seen one other attempt that could
compare with this one. Wilkin is con-
fined in one of the crank cells pending
an examination of his mental condition,
and will not be punished for his deed
unless it is proven that his miad is
sound, and that he was responsible for
the deed. 1t develops that when he
walked out Of the gate he went over to
the guardhouse on the opposite side of
the street and tried to take Guard Halls
gun away from him, and that the only
way TO prevent him from doing so was
by knocking him down. Deputy War
den Lemon remarked yesterday that
! Wilkin lad always borne good prison
record, and that he had never before at
tempted an escape. His parole will
undoubtedly be reconsidered, and he
will have to serve his full term of i'm
prisonment.
