Shortly after midnight sixty armed
and masked men surrounded the Jail,
broke the lock, with sledge hammers,
and, putting a rope around Devlin's
neck, led him half a mile out of town
and gave him his choice between
hanging and tar and feathers. A
tramp. who had taken part in a gospel

and who passed the hat in the crowd
and then skipped, was also in jail and
with a rope around his neck, was made
to accompany Deylin.
Both men received fair trials and
witnesses were sent for and testified.
The weird light Of torches added a

Governor Sadler and Attorney Cen

consult with the officials Of that county
as to what is the best course to pur-
sue with regard to the 70 miles Of rail-
road grade. about which Senator Clark
and the Oregon Short Line have been
having such a contest.
1t seems that the Lincoln county
officials bought that 70 miles of grade
for taxes some time ago and the taxes
and interest now amount to about $780,
900. Both Clark and the Oregon
Short Line are very anxious to pay
that amount to the State and county
for the property, but at that the grade
is said to be worth about 100000 at
the present time ana both parties are
fighting hard for the possession Of the
property, neither the State nor Lincoln
county officials are in any hurry about
the matter, until they are certain which
Is the right curse to pursue.
The sale of this property for any
thing like its real value would be a
godsend to Lincoln county and not a
bad thing for the State Of Nevada
either.

A Defender of Black Snakes.

The reporter was advised not to kill
a black snake under any circum.
stances. An old, honest. reliable man
explained this:
only a few days ago l saw black
racer whizzing around in a circle his
flaming eyes dlstended. His attention
seemed riyeted on something not far
away. l advanced, and, to my aston
ishment, saw q large rattlesnake coil
ed up In battle array. The black snake
continued his circuits. getting a little
nearer to its victim each time. After
10 or Is minutes the rattlesnake drop
ped his head ON the ground. Almost
instantaneously the black snake pounc-
ed upon Its victim. After securely fas-
tcning his teeth In the back of the rat
tlesnake's head he began his deadly
coiling. Within five minutes that rat.
tlesnake was dead. So don't kill a
black snake"
The color came In the old gentle
mans face as he was relating the
above, and he said:
Boys, black snakes are game, but
they won't hurt you, for had one for
a pet for years, and because my old
woman woke one night and found the

From first to last the Kentucky

partisan. Men do in the aggregate
what no one man would do in his

campaign.pretty much everything
which men should not do and
which even the men engaged
would, in their cooler moments,
and best judgments discounte-

in the beginning, as true of the
one party as the other. Ultimately
the infamed ambitions and inter-

thence it deepened into something
very like Civil War, eliminating
