TEXAS SNAKE STORY.
A Rattler and Mexican AHoat on q
Plank For Hours.

a Rattler ana a Mexican AnOAt on y
Plank For Hours.
II have heard of many men being
placed in odd predicaments, remarked
Captain jenkins, but one Of the most
peculiar situations that ever befell an
individual was assuredly that Of an ig-
norant Mexican a good many years ago
near Indianola, Tex, at the time the
town was so nearly destroyed by trop-
ical hurricane or cyclone. have heard
the story many times, although it hap
pened so long ago. 1t was during the
extreme height Of the cyclone Houses
in Indianola were going to pieces like
so much paper, boats were being wreck
ed, and it looked decidedly bad for the
individuals who were located in ex-
posed portions of the coast. 1t was
about this time that little Mexican
settlement ON one of the coast islands
adjacent to Indianola began to go to
pieces the water having risen over the
top Of the sand dunes and the waves
smashing tho loosely constructed build
ings Of the settlement into kindling
wood. Jose Baretti, one Of the inhabit-
ants Of the settlement was separated
from the remainder Of his family, and,
olinging to a long plank, was driven in
to the inner bay over the ruins of the
settlement.
"When the day broke, he was out Of
sight of land. The waves had Gained
down and the storm was gone. AS he
cast his eye about in the early dawn, to
his horror he found the other end of
the plank occupied by an immense rat
tlesnake. AS soon as the snake observed
the Mexican he began to writhe and
coil in an odd sort Of manner. and APP
parently to make attempts to reach tho
poor fellow, whose hair was then stand
ing on end in a manner wonderful to
behold. The hours went by. The snake
kept up his antics, but for some reason
did not get any nearer the Mexican.
The unfortunSte fellow was afraid to
leave the plahS, knowing that he would
drown, and at the same time he was in
horrible fear Of meeting death in more
terrific manner from snake bite. He lay
on tho end of the plank with his eyes
fixed ON the RATHER. In fact, they both
eyed each other, and this they kept up
until midday, when fishing smack
came sailing along on the lookout for
eastaways.
Tho Mexican was seen from the
boat, and in short time was hauled
on board more dead than alive. He
pointed weakly at his kissing oompan-
ion. The sailors on the smack killed the
rattlesnake and found that he had jam
med his tail through small knothole
iii the plank. The immersion of the
buttons of the rattle in the salt water
had caused them to swell, and he was
unable to remove his tail from the hole.
To this fortunate circumstance tho Mex
lean owed his life. The fact that the
coast islands contain many rattlers &C
counts for the presence Of tho snake on
tho plank. BY the Bye in New Or

across the bay to Sausalito to close the
campaign In Marin county. There Is an
air OF Joy around the headquarters of
the respective parties in this city. Both
parties seem phenomenally sanguine OF
success. At the rooms of the republ-
can state committee a large crowd of
candidates and orators has been in at
tendance all day. glad that IL IL all over
but the shouting.
Assistant Secretary Stephacher said
to-day: I'VE have this fight won. We
will carry the state outside of San
Francisco by 1900 and will gain 5000
additional votes in San Francisco" An
other prominent republican declared
that his party would elect six congress-
men and that the state legislature
would be overwhelmingly republican.
At democratic headquarters the same
air of confidence was observed on all
sides. While the managers of the cam
paign expect to carry the state. they do
not predict anything like the plurality
claimed by the republicans. Seth Mann
stated TO an associated press reporter
that Judge Maguires election was a
certainty: that he would enter San
Francisco with a gain of at least $500
and that his plurality in this city would
exceed 5000. The democrats expect to
elect FIVE congressman and TO have a
majority in the legislature.

Boise. Idaho, Nov. 1T is difficult to
give anything like an intelligent esti-
mate Of the result in Idaho. The great
est confidence is expressed by all the
managers. this being particularly so of
OF the republican with respect to the
congressman and governor. The atti-
tude of the republican managers gives
rise to rumors of deal with the popu-
lists. which both, however. deny en-
phatically. Chairman Bassett OF the sill
yer republican committee and Chairman
HALEY of the democratic committee
claim the fusion ticket will be elected
by at least 1000 plurality. Chairman
Morrison of the republican committee
claims the election of governor and con-
gresham by at least 1000. with a good
chance for the election of the remainder
of the republican ticket. Chairman
Jacobs of the populists claims the
election of the populist nominee for con-
gresham. with a splendid show for their
gubernatorial candidate. but has little
hope for any one else on the populist
ticket. The indications are for general
scratching over the entire state, which
will make the count very slow. 1t is
doubtful IL IL can be told certainly by
tomorrow night who has been elected.

state. At democratic headquarters the
claim is made that they will carry the

Whiting. democratic candidate for gov

The democratic state committee officials
predict a general disaffection among
old-line republicans against Governor
Pingree. They are not claiming the
balance of the state ticket with any
marked degree of confidence. but they
expect to elect half of the IL congress
men. an increase Of four over the pres
ent number Of democrats. At repub-
lican state headquarters IL was stated
that Governor Pingree would receive
as large a vote proportionately as he did
two years ago, when his plurality ran
up to 3.4OO. The republicans claim
about all the congressman and the Leg
islature by a majority of two-thirds
