A Snake Story.

For some time past Mr. Thos. Hugh es had noticed a gradual disappearance of his fig crop, but as "Tom" is blessed with his share of boys he marvelled but little over the ever increasing shortage
 He, however, advised the embryonic presidents to go little slow in that di- rection. To his surprise the boys main- tained their innocence of the charge, and yesterday proved their cherry tree allegations by capturing the real thieves. Early ID the morning with that spirit of inquiry which animates all young Arizonans, the boys interviewed the trees,n mot for the purpose of levying trib
 ute on the figs, but merely to note and report any additional depredstions that may have occurred during their enforced absence of night. To their sstonish- ment they heard whiz among the boughs and upon a little further investigation found two rattlesnakes in the tree, a large one and a small one. The latter had a fig in it's mouth which it had part ly eaten, and was easily captured by slipping cord over its head. 1t IS of the diamond back variety, is rather more than two feet long, and has four rattles and button. Mexicans who claim to be familiar with the habits or ttese reptiles say that such things are net unusual and that all kinds of sweet, sdt fruits are depredsted on by rattle snakes, who are proficient tree climbers.

HINTS FOR wHEELMEN.
Some Wise Rdles to Observe For En- joyment for the Sports.
From Harpers Round Table.

l. A good bicyclist Is careful of his roads, therefore when taking a header De careful not 10 hit the road too hard with your forehead. You might make dent Tn the pavement.
 ,. In falling off your wheel. do not isll on both sides at once. Failure to observe this rule will result in dividing y ,u against yourself.
 ,. Always be courteous. If trolley car has the right of way over the track, do not dispute with it. A boy in Mas sachusetts who broke this rule broke his right arm and the eyclometer gt the same time
 A.. Keep your lamp lit when riding at night. The boy who thought he was sale because he had parlor match in his pocket. came home with spoke iu his wheel that didn't belong there.
 9. Do not be rough with ice carts and furniture trucks. Ii you must run into one of them, do it as gently and teGderly as if 1t were a baby carriage.
 6. A merciful rider is merciful to his wheel, so do not force bicycle beyond the point of it's endurance, unless you want to walk back with your wheel on your shoulders.
 '. Keep cool. If in the course of ride you find yourself in a tight place with a skittish horse to the left and a steep ravine to the right, and bulldog directly to the fore, take ravine. You'll go into it. anyhow, and if you take it alone without dragging the dog or the horse after you your chances will be i'm proved.
 8. Never use spurs on the pneumatic tires of your wheel. The use of spurs in this manner is likely to leave your bicycle in winded condition. Spurs axe not comfortable, either, in case of a throw.
 9. Do not be stubborn with e balky wheel. If the front wheel gets in rut going east, and the hind wheel in anoth- CT going west, dismount md argue the matter standing, unless you are tired, and want to lay down by the roadside without making the effort to do SO un- assisted

Doath of Liaut. Col. Dallas.

The Washington Star of recent date contains an announcement of the death of an old Arizonan, Lieut.. Col. Dallas, in that city. Col. Dallas commanded Camp Apache in 1872 and Fort Lowell in 1873 and 1874. The Star says:
 Lieut.. Col. A. J. Dallas, retired, died at the Hamilton house yesternoon. lie had been in bad health for some time, and had recently come to Washington from his winter home in the south for medical treatment. Mrs. Dallas, who is also native of this city, was with him at the time of his death. Col. Dallas was born in the District, and was the son O. Commodore Dallas, United States navy. He entered the army April 27, 1861, as prIvete in Company ii, third battalion, District of Columbia volun- teers. The following month he was made captain of the twelfth infantry, and received rapid promotion thereafter, also obtaining several brevet ranks for conspicuous gallantry in action. He serve d throughout the war in active ser vice, being engaged in many of the most important battles, and holding various positions of rank and responsibility.
 Col. Dallas also has q record in the navy. He entered as midshipman IT 1S4G, and served through the latter part of the Mexican war as cid de-c camp to Commodore Perry. He was GfterHMd 8 lieutenant in the marine corps, and finally resigned from that service in 1855. He was engaged in important hydrogra phic and coast survey work. His funeral was largely attended.

EARTH'S HIDDEN RICHES.
Gen. Churchill Visits the Rich Yava- pal Section.
 Prescott Courier.

General Clark Churchill, of Phoenix, 1 who resided in this section for years, and is familiar with our mining districts as they appeared then, has just return ed from three days trip, during which he visited the head of Lynx creek, the Hassayampa, Slate creek and Maple gulch, all in the mineral belt immediate ly south of Prescott, and expresses him. self agreeably surprised at the great activity in the mining matters he found generally prevalent.
 Ia every district mining in all it's stages could be seen side by side, the placer miners working in the gulchee with pans, rockers and sluices, while on the surrounding mountains were quartz claims ranging from the freshly located and partially develored to those piled with milling and shipping ore, new claims were being staked off and pros pecting for still undiscovered claims gave employment to quite number of men. The general stated that If the mine owners did not stand in their own | light by asking fabulous prices for their partially developed prospects good times were sure to prevail to considerable extent in Prescott and vicinity in the near future.
 He is interested in the Hssssyampa | district himself, and his mining motto is that when any person wishes to work mine that person should be permitted 1 to do so, If possible. Speaking of a water supply for Prescott, he said that such supply could be run in by gravi- tation from Banning creek. ThIs water theory has been advanced by others, an1 there is little doubt but what Ban ming creek would supply the town wholly for six months in the year, and in con- nection with the Goose Flat pumping
 plant, would supply it for the remaining siX, but the water would have to run
 through covered piping, as if exposed,
 the summer sun would lick half of 1t
 up in that distance.

VICTIMS OF INSANITY,
The Wholesale Murderer States That Minnie Williams Killed Her Sister and is Now a Fugi-
 tive From Justice.

CHICAGO, Aug. "A special to the Post from Philadelphia says: Holmes, the wholesale murderer, was asked to- day in an interview:
 ''Can you explain how many bones came to the concealed in the basement and other parts of your Chicago house?"
 "I will answer that question this way" he replied. "Every person who has known me IS aware I am a doctor 5y profession. It Is also known perfectly we'll in Chicago that there was restau- rant in my building during the Worlds fair. At that time there were lots of bones from fowls and ether cooked animals thrown outside Cf the building. Lots of these bones, no doubt found their way to the cellar. During the time 1 lived in the building I brought several cavaliers there, both for scien- tihc and pecuniary purposes. This may account for the bones that the Chicago police say they have found"
 twill you explain your relations with Mamie Willisms!"
 "The poor girl was great friend of mine. She was unfortunate in more ways than one. I cannot but believe she is still alive, although God only knows where, as she IS a fugitive from justice on account of the awful trage- dy which resulted m the killing of her sister. I care to say nothing more about her this time.
 "Is it true that Minnie Williams kill ed her sister Nsna?"
 "Yes, It all came about over jealous quarrel. During the heat of passion Minnie threw a stool gt Mana. It struck her on the head. She died shortly afterwards"
 "It is reported some of your family were victims of insanity. Is this true?"
 at is My uncle died insane at Bur liugton,sVt. The insanity streak in our family is from my mothers side. I want to say, however, 1 am still compos mentis, although in view of the absurd reports that have gone cut about ma it might be question as to whether or not my accusers are not crazier."
 "Will you deny or confirm the re- port that you are rich mani"
 "My money is principally tied up in real estate. Part of this IS cucumber ed ard part is clear. If l was out of here I might be able to turn mp S200- GOO without much difficulty"
 ''Do you helong to Gny religious de- nomination."
 "No; l am believer in the teaching 8 of Tom Paine and Ingersoll."
