CHAMPION OF SEASON.
A Snake story from Sweetwater that
Turns Down the Biggest one yet
Sprung for Consideration.

For II number of years u huge
rattlesnake has been known to
exist on the Blue Mountains near
this city, and at frequent intervals
reliable persons, who have had
occasion to pass in that vicinity,
have reported seeing this reptile.
Owing to its extraordinary size
no effort has ever been made TO
capture this monster.
Until few days ago no harm
is known to have been done by
his snakeship except to brighten
unsuspecting travellers; but after
the thrilling experience Il cowboy
had with it, as related below,
something should be done to de-
stroy this menace to the public.
Pete Jones, u cowboy employed
on ranch near this city, was III
this week and told of thrilling
encounter he had with this RATHER
on Blue Mountain last Saturday.
His story was embellished with u
liberal quantity of the vernacular
characteristic of the typical cow
puncher which does not appear to
good advantage in print and must
necessarily be omitted.
Jones was driving Il bunch of
cattle along the side of the noun
tain when his attention was
attracted to young calf III the
herd which was bleating as if in
agony. He rode rapidly through
the herd, which had become
frightened and begun to STAN
pede On reaching the calf his eyes
fell upon II spectacle that NOM
entarily caused the blood to stop
coursing through his veins and
his hair to assume u perpendlcu-
lar position. This rattlesnake,
which ne said was twelve feet
long, had entwinCd itself around
the calf and was gradually crush
ing the life out of the animal.
Unfortunately, Pete was unarmed;
but he instantly thought of his
lariat. He endeavered to dash
the line around the Calls neck,
but instead he roped the snake.
When he realized what he had
done he put spurs to his horse,
thinking he could drag the reptile
to death. He dragged both calf
and snake at least 100 yards be-
fore the latter released its hold
on the animal, which was dead
AS the serpent turned the calf
loose Pete's horse stumbled and
fell and he was rendered uncon-
scious for some time. When he
revived the snake had crawled in
to an old wolf den with the rope
still fastened to it. Pete cut the
rope and barricaded the entrance
to the den with large rock and
started for assistance to help cap
ture the snake, He met some
travellers and they returned to
the scene only to find that the
reptile had found another exit to
the den and escaped .-Sweetwater

BOIL WEEYIL IS HERE.
Only One Discovered as Yet, and IL
is Now IN Captivity and
Under Guard,

j. j. Stevens, who lives eight
miles from town OH the Flat. was
exhibiting full-grown boil weev-
il here Friday. which attracted
considerable attention.
MIR. Stevens captured the pest
IN his house Friday morning; but
failed to locate another. although
carefully examining his cotton to
see if an attack is being made in
the field. He could not account
for its appearance in the house
unless it was brought from Bell
county on Mrs. Stephens's cloth
ing on her return from visit to
that part of the State about three
weeks ago. This supposition is
strengthened by the fact that the
discovery was made just after
Mrs. Stephens had dressed in
some clothing worn Oh her recent
trip.
There were many suggestions as
to what disposition should be
made of his bugship, but the one
that seemed TO meet with the
popular approva! was that u
mass meeting be called and the
insect burned at the stake.
Mr.. stephens left it at Taylor
IL Johnson 5 store, where the pub
lie may have the opportunity OF
forming the acquaintance of this
pest that is SO destructive to cot
ton crOps in Texas.

RANCHING IN ASSINIBOIA.
Lord Beresford, Mexican Cattle
King on His Way Home Tells
Of Conditions.

0f Conditions.
Lord Beresford, owner of one of
the great cattle ranches of Old
Mexico. located i'll the state of
Chihuahua, spent the day at the
Stock Yards and the Exchange
building looking after some bust
ness and studying the market,
says the Kansas City Drovers
Telegram. When at home Lord
Beresford resides at Ell Paso, Tex
as, but he spends most of his
time on his ranch in Chihuahua
He was on his way home from
Medicine Hat, Assiniboia, where
he has a herd of 1900 head of
steers. The ranch on which these
cattle are running is located in
province of Assiniboia, lying west
of the Alberta country. These
cattle were taken up to that
country from Lord Beresford's
ranch in Mexico last June and
were accompanied by him and n
number of his Mexican herdsmen
who are returning with him.
When asked how the cattle were
doing to that country Lord Beres-
ford said: Pastures are fairly
good and the cattle are doing well.
There were over 10000 head
shipped into the territory imme-
diately around Medicine Hat in
the spring from Mexico. These
cattle will be kept there until
they are 1 years old before they
will be offered for sale. During
the severest winter weather they
will be fed on rough prairie grass.
but they will run for the most
part out on the open range all
the winter
NO GRAIN Is FED.
"There are no graln-fed cattle
III that country, us they raise no
corn. The only grains raised are
wheat, oats, and barley, and no
alfalfa is raised there. Cattle III
the territory are bought on the
ranches by buyers who dispose of
them, few ranchmen ever ship
ping any. AS the country is
rapidly filling up there is Il great
demand at home for beef, which
is filled from the herds of the
poorer class and the better cattle
are shipped out, going east and
for export.
At the present time the lands
can be leased at 2 cents an acre
per year and for periods of from
one to twenty years, Many leases
are made for long periods and then
subleased to smaller cattle out
fits. This makes feed cheap; but az
the country fills up with cattle in
excess of the home consumption
the market problem will be one
which will confront the ranch
men, as many of the cattle are
not graded up high enough to be
exported. The feed question |;
that is, for finishing cattle for
export, will always be a serious
problem"
Lord Beresford, who is rated
amorg the leaders of the great
cattle kings of Mexico. does not
predict any great future for the
cattle industry of the Alberta
country. He intimated that he
might add to his herd next spring
but did not express the belief that
there would be any such a thing
as a rush of Mexican cattle to the
British lands next spring, leaving
the impression that it is an ex
pertinent that will be watched
with interes st before many more
cattle will be sent there.

TURN THE LIGHT
on THE RECORDS

The following from Col W. c. P.
Breckenridge in the Lexington Herald
Is good, timely advice and if Gov.
Beckham would put himself in the
right light before the intelligent,
right thinking voters of the State
he will certainly see to 1t that a true
and reliable statement OF the facts in
the case are made public. The Herald
says:
Gov. Beckham undoubtedly believes
the figures are accurate that he uses
in his speeches and he bases this belief
on his confidence IN those officers who
made up the list of pardons. 1t may
be that the list is correct but cores
pondents from several counties have
pointed out what is claimed to be
omissions and give the names, the
crimes for which the persons were
convicted, the time Of pardon and
circumstances. And this gives to
his opponents and especially to the
Louisville Herald an apparent adj
vantage in this debate concerning
pardons that he ought not to permit.
1t is due to his own honor and to his
own character for franKness to have
those alleged omissions and errors
carefully examined into and have the
exact facts made public. In our
view the number of pardons is Of COM
paratively small Importance compared
with other elements but omissions
are important.
They are hurtful also IN other as
poets of this controversy. Most un-
fortunately Gov. Beckham and other
officials in his Office and that Of the
secretary Of state and around the
executive Offices have become involved
in disputes and controversies with
the correspondent Of the Louisville
Herald and it has alleged that the
public records were not willingly and
courteously exhi bited that obstacles
and personal assaults and other means
were resorted TO 10 prevent full and
complete examination of these records.
If there be omissions in these SEMI
official schedules it emphasizes the
charges and allegations made as the
reasons of these assaults.
IL has also been charged that IN the
Office of the secretary of state and in
the executive journals there has been
negligence in the proper entry of par
dons, in the indexing of pardons and
in perhaps other official duty. Mis-
takes and omissions give point and
prominence to this charge. The Herald
calls attention 70 this because it be-
lieyes Gov. Beckham Is dealing in
good faith with the people in his pub
lie statements; and if there be errors
he Is being injured when the facts /
cannot be of half the injury the ON
missions win be- "

An iron bridge has been decided upon

The stream is a small one but the
bridge required at that point will be
some forty feet III length.
AS Council contemplates removing
the canal bridges in the borough, in
which event they will be offered for
sale, the County Commissioners may
decide to open negotiations with
Council for the purchase of one of the
bridges for the point above referred
to near Exchange. The borough could

below the cost of new ones, which
would enable the Commissioners to
effect quito a saving for the county.

LEFT ARM
ANPUTATED

Alvin A. Hartzell, formerly of this
city, who about six years ago removed
TO Sparrow's Point, Md, met with a
terrible accident on Friday, by which
he lost his left arm.

Friday morning, while working about
the rolls missed his footing and fell
with the result that his left arm was
caught in the gearing.
The unfortunate man was taken to
the hospital at Baltimore, where the
injured member was amputated at the
elbow. He was accompanied to the
hospital by his brother, John Hartzell
and nephew, Blaine James, both Of

A telegram was received III this city
Saturday evening by w. E. Lunger, a
brother-i law, which stated that
Alvin was doing very we'll and was
suffering no bad effects Of the opera
tion.
The injured man was married lit
tie over a year ago to young lady of
this city. He is cousin cf John
Hartzell who lost an arm in an acci-
dent at the Structural Tubing Works a
few years ago.
