 REGENT DEATH OF SIMON LA i TEAM BREWSTER.
 Recent Rochester papers contain notice of the death of Simon Latham Brewster. He was born in the town of Griswold in 1911 and was the oldest of the children. His father was Elisha Belcher Brewster and his mother was Eunice Hall of one of the famous North Stonington families of that name.
 His early years were spent on the farm where he was born, bought of the Indians by his ancestors, and some portion of which is now in the Brew ster name. At eighteen he learned the carriage making business In Jewett City, and after prosecuting it success fully ten years in a building on the site of the present roller covering shop, he sold out and removed to Rochester, where he amassed a fortune and lived a worthy and useful life. The Brew ster family is one of the oldest in the town and the strip of land once said to have been mainly in their possession extending from the village two miles and more south, is one of the best for farming purposes. Two members or one of the branches of the family still live on the ancestral acres-S1mon Brewster and Albert G. Brewster.

SOME ARIZONA STORIES.

Concerning Snakes, Harmful and
 Helpful, a Gila Monster and Some
 Toads.
 The mining camp of Kingman was recently invaded by host of rattle. snakes, creating great consternation among the people. Snakes were dis covered in beds and made desperate fights when tackled by the owners. People sleeping outdoors narrowly missed a violent death from the poison- ous fangs of the serpents. The snakes wigg]ed through the crevices of tight board fences, and were caught while endeavoring to enter the houses Teo- pie have taken to sleeping upstairs, and a band stand and pavilion are crowded every night by sleepers who dare not risk sleeping on the bare ground. A spell of unusually warm weather is thought to be the cause of the snakes leaving their rocky fast nesses for a cooler abode in the settle ment.
 A man at Mesa City has pet gila monster. He let it go about six weeks ago in order that it might shed it's skin, as is it's annual custom. The other day it returned to it's usual haunts, looking thoroughly rejuvenated. Its owner gave 1t a bath, after which it made break for it's feed box, where it had been in the habit of eating eggs and other luxuries.
 Toads grow to an abnormal size in southern Arizona and often exhibit a preternatural intelligence. Recently arc lights were started at Mesa City and myriads of have discovered this source of supply and eat the bugs that fall to the ground as rapidly as they come within reach. It is supposed that the new diet has created an unnatural thirst, and in looking around for a source at which to quence it they dis covered the troughs that receive the the drippings from the beer faucets in the saloons. They now intrude in the the saloons and line up to the troughs and drink until they become thoroughly intoxicated, many falling to the floor as though dead, while others unstead- fly hop to the sidewalk and resume their feasting.
 James Thomas, a ranchman living on the Verdo river in Yavapal county, has discovered a scheme that threatens to revolutionize existing irrigating meth ods While walking along the canal bank the other day he observed an enormous bull snake stretched at length, with its head in the water and it's body pulsating like steam pump Observing the reptile still more closely, he was amazed to see a stream of water flowing from it's tail. It was actually pumping water. The bull snake is a harmless creature, and MT Thomas, seized with an idea, also seized the snake. How to make it throw a larger stream of water was the question, and after considerable thought he tried the experiment of cut ting off a portion of the tail By this means the snake was induced to throw full head of water at a minimum exertion and seemed to enjoy the job. MT. Thomas captured many other bull snakes. which, by association with the original bumper, soon became adopts at the new system of irrigating. Then

DIABOLICAL WORK.
Up-Caused by strange Men, One of
Whom Was Wounded.

LEBANON, O., June 20.-Tbe finishing
department of the King Powder Co,
located at Kings Mills, in this county,
was destroyed Sunday night in man
ner leading to the belief that it was
the work of enemies OF the govern
ment The building, in which was
stored a quantity OF sm' keless pow
der, had evidently been fred by
two men, near midnight, one
of whom was badly burned
and had been apparently dragged
away from the burning building by his
companion, who then ran away in the
direction of South Lebanon Smoke
less powder, in the condition il was in
in this department, does not explode
like ordinary powder, with a flash,
but breaks into a bright light and
burns for some time. The great light
attracted citizens and some of these
met a stranger going toward South
Lebanon.
The in jured man was taken into
custody. He is apparently q foreigner
but is so badly injured that he car
scarcely talk. The powder burned
was not for the govern ment, ana the
money los. is inconsiderable-perhapl
$4,000. This company has a contrac
to supply the government, and this il
thought to he the reason the destruc
tion OF the building was attempted.
