The town of Denver, a few miles north os
Peru, Ind, has contained a greatly agitated
set of citizens during the past few days.
owing to the report of a monster snake
roaming about in the woods near town,
which is made by Fri Gustin, a well known
and reputable citizen.
Mr.. Gustin tells that he and his wife, to-
gether with another woman, were coming
home one evening in the buggy, and just
about dusk they passed through the woods
a little to the east of town, when their horse
became suddenly frightened and almost fell
to the ground through fright. They looked
past the animal into the shadows of the
trees ahead, and the sight they beheld al
most frightened them to death, and the
women were made hysterical. 1t was a
monster snake. and its description is thus
given in MIR. Gustin's own terms;!
such a snake l never saw. 1t lay on a
twelve-foot log, extending its body the en-
tire length of the log, with its head ele-
waited about two feet. tapping its forked
tongue out at us, while mischief lurked in
its wicked looking eyes. Its tail reached
from the log six feet or more to the fence,
and from that through the rails as far back
as | could see into the field at the side or
the woods. We we're in mortal fear of our
lives, and how we ever got away from tho
place in safety l cannot tell

Good Night"
BRIEF MENTIONS.
All of the committees worked hard to
please the people, and everything went on
without a hitch.
The crowd was avery orderly one. the
police being called upon to make only one
arrest, and that was FOR drunkenness.
Billy O'Neil slipped on a pair of iron
steps and fell through a window in the
Tribune office. He was considerably Jared
and bruised.
The stock yards boys were strictly in II.
They made fun wherever they went and
proved to be the hardest workers on any Of
the committees.
John Schultz poked one Of his fingers into
a peanut rooster in front of n candy store
to see if he could stop the revolving cylinder
and he is minus a part OF the finger.
Charles Bland thought that the fuse OF a
giant cracker had gone out. and he picked
1t up to see. The cracker exploded and
Bland will wear his eyes in a sling for
some time.
Mayor Ensor hired a man to hold his
horse a minute while he went upstairs to
his Office. Some one fired OFF a canon
cracker under the animal and there was a
runaway. One of the cowboys from the
stock yards gave chase and captured the
frightened horse before any damage had
been done.

Draw for the Trial Heats Mt Henley

Made Yesterday.

York World Cablegram-Special Telegram
-Yale's luck has deserted her. She has
drawn Leander for the first days trial heats.
If she wins, she will have New College the
second day. There could not possibly be any
tougher luck.
English critics do not regard Yale as one
Of their dangerous opponents. l am sorry
to say Yale's chances do not seem as bright
as they did two days ago. The crew has
been having much trouble with the new
boat, that even this morning requlred some
adjusting. After their trial last night that
was made after sitting around for two hours
in a chilly tent and in a heavy, cold rain,
the boys nearly all looked drawn. Today
they are not as s~prightly as they have been,
but there is no crew on the river which has
their determination. With the arrival OF
300 Yale rooters on Monday, there is no tell
ing how much they may improve,
This is a very gay looking place today.
One enterprising s~hopkeeper has over 100
boat cushions covered with American flags
and Yale colors, as well as hundreds of
Yale flags.
The drawing was held in the town hall
Leander for her first opponent and Bucks
shore for her station. Yale's chances for
her first heat are therefore as doubtful as
the race itself. Leander is counted her
chief opponent. The drawing resulted as
follows: New College meets Trinity Hall
London Rowing club meets First Trinity
Thames drew bye. At the first draw it
looked unfavorable for Yale.
Captains Cook and Treadway, however,
are well satisfied. They have the best
station each day, and if the wind is blow
ing from Bucks station it is worth a great
deal. If Leander is defeated Tuesday, New
well be met Wednesday.

to this is added the fact that every mar con-

logger.
Among the attractions for the coming week
will be several important events. One of
them will be Harry Miners great feat of
leaping from an eighty-foot tower and land
ing head foremost in a f%ve-foot tank filled
with four feet of water. He will do this on
Tuesday evening at s o'clock, and at 4 o'clock
he will ascend in a silk balloon to a height
of four miles and leap to the earth in the
smallest parachute that ever carried a man.
If the wind is favorable so that he will be
carried out over the lake the size of the
parachute will be still smaller, and he will
drop the last 100 feet and, making a double
somersault, will strike the water headfore-
most.

The bird was in the habit of beating
much of his food against some hard sub
stance, perhaps for the purpose of break

of the parlor matches in this way one day,
and so learned that they made a noise.
When a match was given to it it would hop

Four new boats have arrived for the
Council Bluffs Rowing association, making
a total of six new craft that have been
added to the local fleet this season. Some
extensive improvements will be made by
the club at Manawa this season. Fifty
feet west of the boat house has been pur-
chased and the club now has a frontage
Of 100 feet on the lake. The two boat
houses are to be moved back to the waters
edge and a bulkhead constructed the entire
distance in front of the property. The
club has also gotten control of the lots to
the west of its property, and the bulkhead
will be extended for about 200 feet. A
promenade will be built for this distance
twelve feet wide and an adjustable land
Ing, which will allow the boats to land
anywhere along the entire distance.
