j. d. Nicholson, the popular mana
ger of the Gillespie, and the cook of
the hotel, had a pretty narrow escape
from being bitten by tarantulas last
Monday. They had been pulling ba-
nanas from a bunch hanging in the
store room and the cook heard a rat
Ting noise coming from the bunch.
Upon close examination they found
two large tarantulas right where they
had been pulling off bananas and it is
surprising that they we're not bitten.
Mr.. Nicholson says he thinks they es.
capped because the air was cold in the
store room and he believed the reptiles
were chilled. They were captured and
Mr.. Fargo has them on exhibition al
his store.

acted by the legislature, and that a,
no such legislation has yet been en-
acted the old law is still in force, hav
ing never been repealed by legislative
act. He believes the supreme cour
