The following snake story sent out
from Wichita could only have been
put up by that artist, David Leahy, or
else another has risen as great as
Dave. Here it is: James DAVIS. a
farmer from near Wellington, in Sum.
ner county, reports the loss Of fft!
cows from rattlesDake bites. He say<
the D stures are full Of rattlesndSes,
and in his section several hundred
cows have died. Last Saturday a
posse Of farmers organized and went
out to fight these snakes. The used
swords aud clubs. Tie snakes, some
OF which were SIX feet long. did not
seem to be afraid, aud a hot battle
was wagod for an hour or more.
Farmer Davis was i town Sunday aud
told the story Of the fight. Il said:
Il never knew OF snakes coming out
Of their holes so early in the season,
aud that is why We were at loss TO
know what killed our cows. Their
legs were always Swelled up, and it
was finally decided that rattlesnakes
were responsible. The reptiles were
bold, too, and would not run from US
at all. They nearly took possession Of
things until We went out and killed
of few hundred Saturday. Early
Saturday mOrning about fifty farmers
assembled at my house. We were
armed with clubs, swords, pitchfOrkS,
and most everything. We formed a
line reaching clear across the pasture,
took number OF rat terriers, and
started out. On blowing horn like
cows bawling the snakes swarmed
out Of their holes. We attacked them.
They ratified, darted their fOrked
tongues, and plunged forward to meet
US. Our swords aud clubs swung right
aud left aud tue s1aKes went down TO
death and defeat. Perhaps some OF
them escaped, but very few. We
killed snakes for fully an hour, TO the
extent OF $50" A number o; farmers
were bitten 10 the melee, but as
poison antidotes were handy fOre
suffered great injury.

I ne Forest Reserves.


Two of our residents left on
Monday to accompany the off
cials sent out by the Interior and
Agricultural Departments from
Washington, to inspect and re
port upon the damage to forest
growth ard agriculture in the
Salt River valley. by stock run
ming on the reserves. There was
also a delegation from the valley
who accompanied the party.
The agricultural interests was
represented by Prof. Con Bunch,
brother of Thomas S. of Flag
staff, while Sam Webb went to
look after the interests of Mari
copa county generally and the
Arizona Gazette particularly.
The people of the Salt River
Valley have made "much ado
ABOUT nothing over these tor
est reserves. Stock running on
them has not, nor will it ever
damage them to any considera
bic extent. The water courses
which drain the greater portion
OF the watershed of these re
serves empty into the big Colo
rado, through the Colorado Chi
quito. The principal streams
which run into Salt river are the
White and Black rivers, and
both of these streams head on
the White Mountain Apache res
ervation, and the greater portion
of their watershed is protected
from stock by the Indian reser-
walton.
1t is safe to say that sixteen
tWentlethS OF the water from
the two reserves go into the Col
orado and never touch Salt riv-
er, while the other four -twen-
tiethS which run into Salt river
are on the Apache reservation
and their watersheds are in the
main protected from stock of
any description by that reserva-
ton.
Another fact which is we'll
known and understood by those
familiar with this section is, that
more forest fires originate on
Indian reservations, caused by
Indians keeping up their old
custom of burning off the dead
grass. than any other portion of
the mountain ranges embraced
in the two reserves. Yet the
advocates Of the reserves lay
them all to the carelessness of
cowboys and sheepherders, who,
as a matter of tact, put out
dozen fires where they start one.
Come right down to bedrock
facts, this forest reserve agita-
ton was inaugurated, and has
been fed and kept alive, by one
company, who hoped to be able
thereby to gobble the whole
country for their focks, cattle
and horses, and the ranchers and
fruit-growers of the Salt River
Valley haye been used as the
guileiess monkey to draW the
cheSnuts out of the fire for them.
