MILITIA WITHOUT FUNDS.
Illinois National Guard short of
Money and Ammunition

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug 1Z.-The Ma
tional Guard of Illinois is without funds
to meet its current expenses, and if it
could be pushed by its creditors. after the
fashion in which an individual debtor is
harassed, it would be compelled to take
refuge in a court of bankruptcy.
The books in the office OF the Adjutant
General show that the Guard is already
$4,000 behind in its accounts, and there
is no prospect of relief until the next ses-
sion OF the Legislature. AS one result of
the shortage, the rife ranges at Camp
Lincoln, in this city, and at Camp Logan,
near Chicago, have been closed down and
orders have been given that no more pow
der shall be burned at rife practice.
Even the reloading department at
Springfield, which is TO keep the soldiers
of the State supplied with ammunition,
has been shut down. Many OF the men
who have claims against the State grow
ing out of the recent encampment of the
National Guard will be compelled to wait
for their money, and even some of the
soldiers have failed to get their full SER

hausted before the cavalrymen were paid

CAPTURED BY cANN1BALs.
A Frenchman's Story of His Expert
ence Among snyare.

YANKToN, s. D.. Aug. 12.-George L.
Latroune, young Frenchman, who has
been stopping here on his way from the
brothers ranch on the White River, this
State, tells remarkable steTy of his cap
ture by cannibals and his narrow escape
from being served up as a meal for his
captors.
Latroune first tells how he became a
convict. He deserted from the French
navy, in which he had been conscripted,
was captured. and sent on a foreign
cruise. At Cadiz he knocked down SEN
tinel ard escaped to shore. He was re-
captured after four days and sent to the
years.
At the expiration OF his term Latroune
found that he would have to remain five
years more as tickst-cf-I leave man. but
two years were taken off and he was set
free, but without money.
For week he wandered over the island
living on nuts and such animals as he
could Kill Then he fell in with one OF the
cannibal tribes The dread that he would
be made into soup and roast, however,
was soon dissipated, as he was made in
stead a member of Chief Masaou's body
guard. His own story of his experience
follows:
Life passed very pleasantly for several
weeks. when one CT their festivals oc-
CURED. and two of the young native women
were killed against my strongest protesta-
lions and served to the chief and those
connected with his household.
Il refused to paTtake of the human flesh.
thereby mourning the displeasure OF
Masaou. For this was placed under ar
rest. and it was, decided that l would be
served up at the next festival. which would
soon occur.
while l was under guard it happened
that one day the chiefs son fell out of a
cocoanut tree. breaking his leg and suf-
fering other injuries, which during that
season OF the year made his recovery i'm
probable. This was the favorite son of
one OF the chiefs favorite wives. and he
was more than ordinarily solicitous about
his recovery"
Here the young mans knowledge of sur
gerry stood him in good stead. He had
seen his father set the broken arm of his
little sister. He offered to mend the
chiefs son, but demanded his freedom as
a reward.
The chief was delighted with the results
of the operation. as his son was able to
throw away his crutches at the end of two
months Masaou not only gave Latroune
his freedom, but talisman to protect him
from hostile islanders and enough French
money to pay his fare to New York City.
There the French colony assisted him to

GIRLS KILL A BIG SNAKE.
1t Was II Rather and More Than Six
Feet Long.

LAKE HoPATCoNG, y. j., Aug. 12-
While in the woods near here yesterday
three New York girls had an exciting ex-
perience with rattlesnake which made an
attack upon them. The reptile was six
feet four inches long and had fourteen
rattles.
The heroines of the adventure are the
Misses Madge Hyslops Viola Lewis, and
Jesse Hart.
They started out from the Hollywood
Hotel. Raecoon Island, at o'clock in the
morning Tor an excursion to the Cascades
and Bear Pond, and incidentally to get
few huckleberries. After looking about
for an hour they went into a meadow
adjacent TO Bear Pond, where the buckle
berries grow in abundance, and began
picking. This meadow Is known as
'Huckleberry Patch" and ab5unds with
rattlesnakes.
This the girls did not know. and as
the bushes we're laden with lucious bsr-
ries, they had no thought that danger
was near. Miss Hyslop found patch
where the berries we're especially fine and
abundant She was rapidly filling her pail,
when suddenly a big rattlesnake rose up
and stuck his ugly nose over the side OF
the vessel, not two fee. from her face.
For an instant Miss Hyslop was unaole
to move. Then she ,sprang back and
shrieked "Snakes," to her two compan-
ions. The snake in the mean time ratified
and prepared to strike. Miss Hyslop and
her two companions held a council OF war
and decided to kill the snake. Each got
a club and the attack was begun by Miss
Hyslop.
Approaching the rather, she tented
with her club and induced the serp mt TO
spring. As il fell short. and struck the
ground, all three girls with their clubs
pounced on it, and although at one time
the snake wound its tail around the ankle
of Miss Lewis. it was soon despatched by
blow on the head.
Then all three girls fainted-at least
each of them says the other two tainted
Their to prove their story they brought
the snake back with them TO the hotel,
where it was measured The three New
York girls are the heroines of the Lake.

TO COMPETE WITH THE TRUST.
Another Ice Company Formed In
View York.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-THE reception by
the public of the announcement OF the
Peoples Cooperative Ice Company last
Thursday that it intended entering the ice
business and asking for popular support
has been so favorable that the management
OF the new company already feels that
success is assured. The incorporators Of
the company whose purpose in embarking
in the business was to make money. real
lied that with the present field in control
OF the American Ice Company il would re-
quire strong concerted support by the con-
sumers of ice in this city to guarantee
success. Two propositions were made.
Non assessable, s per cent preferred stock
at s. share was offered for sale under
conditions encouraging investment from the
men with small means. rather than from the
very rich, and contracts for the purchase
OF ice from the company were submitted.
These contracts permitted a consumer to
purchase for family use ice for 30 cents a
hundred for from one to FIVE years at the
option OF the purchaser In this way a
man could become a stakeholder in the
company and receive the benefit OF the
profits from his own purchases OF ice to
say nothing of having guarantee for
five years If he sees fit of obtaining ice
at 30 cents a hundred. This would shut
off any charge of 60-eent ice
Naturally the pubic began investigating
this proposition, and at the compsny's
Office at S74 Broadway, Charles J. Ferrin,
the managing director, said yesterday that
his whole force had been obliged to work
after hours in order TO keep up with the
demand.
Referring TO a report that the new COM
pany was not an independent concern, Mr..
Ferrin said: we make no fight except for
pure ice al moderate prices. and our COM
pany has no alliance, actual or indirect,

Mr.. Lymburner is a brother of Mrs. E.

th.t he believes his brother met death by
other than natural causes and says that
when he read the announcement of the
death OF Mr.. Herrick and the suspicious
OF the family he determined to come to
the city and add his testimony to the case.
Young Mr.. Herrick asserts that he has
TWO letters. one written by the second
Mrs. Herrick and the other by Mr. Her

ground for suspicion that the many deaths
in the Herrick family within the past
year have been the work of a poisoner.
