faee and he dropped forward On Che
green table. The robbers were gone in
a twinkling.
Three murders were added in 1898 to
the catalogue of crimes attributed to
the notorious band. One was the
shooting of a passenger on the stage
from Tombstone to Grant Springs, in
Arizona, when that vehicle was held
up and the passengers piled their
watches, purses and other valuaHles in
a heap for the use of the bandits. An
other murder was that of a switch
man for the Atlantic & Pacific Rail-
road Company at Navajo, because,
probably, he was suspected of having
recognized the gang and of having
plans for telling his suspicious to the
sheriff.
The Santa Fe west-bound overland
was held up by the gang west OF Gal
lup in June, 49,. The express messenger
was shot, the safe was dynamited, and
a sack of gold and currency W as Sc

carefully picked men chased the gang

Homes for Them.
In India the Hindoos have establish
ed homes or asylums for aged and in
firm beasts and birds. One of these,
heal the Sodepur Station, and about
ten miles from Calcutta, is under the
control of a manager, with a staff of
eighty servants and an experienced
veterinary surgeon. In this place at
present there are 979 animal paupers-
129 bulls, 307 cows, III calves, 72
horses, 13 water buffaloes, SO sheep, Is
goats, 141 pigeons, A cocks and hens, 4
cats, 3 monkeys and 5 dogs. The asy-
lum is described as being systematic
cally and mercifully managed. The
cows have especially a good time of it,
inasmuch as on festal occasions ma
tives go from far and near to decorate
and worship them. One Of the estab-
lished sights of the city of Bombay is
the Pinjra pole, a spot whittier worn
out or diseased creatures are sent by
benevolent Hindoo citizens and are
maintained until they become restored
to health or die.

RATS FOB SNAKES.
Must Be Caught Outdoors to BE Ac-
ceptable Food.

Must Be Caught Outdoors to BE Ac-
ceptable Food.
Snakes have the sense Of smell. 1t
Is dlf1cult to obtain food for rattle
snakes and water-vipers. The owner
of a small private collection has been
trying them on the house rats and
mice he has caught about the .uild-
ings. He would leave these in the
snake cage over night and through the
say. They would run over the snake
with impunity. The snakes would pay
no attention to them, but when he
happened to secure some field mice
and put them in the cage the snakes
ate them at once He then put in
several rats and mice of the ordinary
house variety that he had caught out
of doors, and these were seized by the
snakes almost as readily as the wild
species. He then conceived the idea
of making an earth box to keep the
rats in for a while before feeding, and
soon found that If they were put in
there for IL hours or so before they
were given to the snakes they would
be eaten. The only apparent explana-
ton is that the smell of the earth is
desirable by the snakes, and that the
smell which the animals acquire about
buildings is Objectionable.

ner, and the two. other men In the
store were bound and gagged, but only
a few dollars were had.
This gang is well acquainted with a
large section of the country, and
there are few men that will openly
and single-handed do anything against
them. In a posse it is different. A
number of the men are their friends
and help them with food. horses and
information. Others are living On ex-
posed ranches, where the robbers can
come in, if they are revengeful, and
kill the man who has helped an officer,
or they can kill stock and run off
horses. The gang is often seen by
cowboys and men living on ranches,
and to them the robbers have told their
versions of their experiences.
The last congress ~overhauled the
law regarding the emoluments of
United States marshals, and now if a
marshal sends out a man to make an
arrest, and the deputy does not get the
man he goes after, the government will
not pay him anything. Under the pro-
visions of this law it was impossible
for United States Marshal Hall to get
men to take the trail. Even a dep
uty marshal wants to know that he
will be paid for his time from when
he starts on a trail until he is killed.
He objects more to working for moth
ing than he does to getting killed.

the important details of superb good
health and of modest and obedient be-
havior, the appearance and record of

One of the chief difficulties ex-
perienced by teachers here has been
from the usual migratory disposition of
the people of mining camps. Moving
from one place to another with their
parents, the children are subjected
to the vicissitudes of varying methods
of instruction. This important point
should receive careful reelection on the
part of the parents, so that they may
not too lightly move their household
goOde.
The future of the Hillsboro school is
bright with promise. With the rapid

the town is building up and attracting
