A Deadly Boot.

The CLASS Valley Union saws: One
OF he mO5j singular cases OF rattle
snake poisoning on record has ocodr-
red near Chico.
As The result Of wearing - boot into

ia Fly after he had been attacked by
tnc snake.
One day last week Thomas Horton
was passing through a piece OF cleared
land when he was struck by a rattle
snake. The reptile was shedding it's
skin, and it was therefore in is most
veuomous condition. The serpent's
fangs penetrated one OF Hor on's cow
hide boo;s, and the snake was easily
killed. Horton discarded his boots
and his wife gave them to Napoleon
Meeker, a negro who worked on an
adjoining farm. He wore them, and
died. ArchibCli Hooker, a nephew of
the dead man, wore them forty-eigbt
hours, and he also died in great
agony.
The boots then passed into the hands
Of An Old trapfer. The second day he
wore them he was attacked by a pain
in his leg. His yreriences told him
that it was the result OF rattlesnake
poisoning. He used a remedy in time
and recovered.
On examining the boots he found a
small iOiGtod piece Of bone imhedded
in The leather. 1t was the fang Of the
snake, placed in such a position that
in drawing the foot from the boot the
fang, which curved upward, woul1not
injure it, but in putting the boot on it
would be almost impossible to escape
a slight scratch.

Exemption from Fishway Law

Madison, Wis, Feb. 13.-The State
Fish commission will meet at the
capitol Wednesday. Feb. 26, at p. m,
to consider applications for exemption
from the requirement to maintain
fishways in dams, prescribed by the
legislature at its last session. The
statute requires all persons who main
tain dams TO construct fishways to
enable fish to pass up stream over the
dams. The fishways must be kept in
good repair from March LIST to June
10th of each year. The time when the
fishways must be completed is March
LIST, 1896. The act authorizes the COM
missioners of fisheries to suspend the
operation of the law as to any dam
when it is made to appear to them
that the fishways are not accessory for
any particular dam. Applications for
exemption are to be made to the COM
misSioners in writing, stating the
facts showing that the fishway is not
a necessity, and describing the dam,
stream, and locality. The statement
is required to be verified on oath, and
the exemption recommended by the
chairman, town clerk or some super
visor of the town where the dam is
situated. Owners of dams are re-
quired to either put in the fishways or
obtain the exemption where there is
no necessity for a fishway. The fine
for neglect is severe, S. per day for
each days neglect. One-half the fine
goes to the informer. After the fish
ways are completed they must be kept
in repair from March LIST to June LIST
in each year under penalty of $40 per
day for each and every day they are
not in repair.
