sNAPPERs CATCH FROGS AND

l
 ONE EVEN CAUGHT A QUAIL.
 "The snapping turtle" said man
 familiar with that reptile and it's ways,
 "eats among other things, bullfrogs.
 You might think that so accomplished 4 swimmer and so great jumper as the
 bullfrog would easily keep out of the
 way of the slow-moving turtle, but by chance, or by strategy, or combination
 of both, the numbering turtle catches
 many bullfrog. Here, for instance, is
 a bullfrog lying on top of the water, resting or summing itself A big snap ping turtle is floating or padding idly in the water near by. The turtles movements are all clumsy and slow, all
 except the movement of it's head and neck. Its neck is highly telescopic, and stretches out to length you wouldn't expect, and it darts out it's head to that
 length with electric suddenness. Float ing along near that bullfrog, the snap | ping turtle shoots out it's head and
 cathes MT. Bullfrog by the leg.
 Then the bullfrog plunges and | splashes and tries to get away but the turtle holds 1t fast in its hard beak, and the frogs splashes only serve to draw other snapping turtles, and you'd better
 draw the curtain here, for among them the turtles simply tear the bullfrog limb from limb and devour it. And snapping turtles catch bullfrogs ashore, too, the lsnapper being d great shore-goer. The snapper likes, especially, plowed and
 cultivated fields. Probably if the snap ping turtle could indicate It's choice of
 abiding places 1t would say: Give me a god-sized pond containing animal life frogs and fishes a plenty-with culti- vated land coming down to the edge all around. in which would find the go- ing easy, and where would find great things to eat, For the srapping turtle I is vegetarian as well as a flesh eater
 Tt will come ashore Into plowed fields at night and wander away from the
 water hundreds of feet. For that mat ] ter, of course, turtles will travel long
 distances on land. And the snapping
 turtles wander around through
 the grass, and into farm-yards, for that
 matter, and barnyard, seeing what they i. can find. Sometimes on these expedi-
 tions they come across a bullfrog ashore
 and the snapping turtle catches and
 eats young chickens and turkeys. I heard Of a case once in which a snap- ping turtle caught a quail. A man com | ing along road on the south side of | Long Island found this snapping turtle in the edge,of a wood, about 200 yards from the shore, holding a quail by one
 of it's legs. The turtle had, by chance,
 come upon this quail there in the woods, or 1t may be that the bevy had settled
 near where the turtle was lying with
 this quail setting right by the turtles head. The man that saw this quail thus held captive struck the turtle across the
 back of the neck with a whip he was
 carrying, to make it let go; but instead
 of making the snapper, do so that blow
 made it close its beak tighter and it bit
 off the quail's leg; and minus one leg
 the quail, it's wings still uninjured, flew ! aWay.--Chicago Inter-Ocean,

Kinchau, opposite New Chwang. Man
chura, July S.-All the prominent Russian
officials in China, Manchuria and Korea
are attending the conference at Port Ar
thur.
Among them are Minister OF War Kuro-
patkin. Admiral Alexeiff, the Russian min
listers at Pekin and Seoul, the political
agents in China and Korea, including NJ.
Pokotiloff, recently Russian financial rep
resentative at Pekin; General Dessino, the
military agent in China, the civil and mill
tary officials at Muekden, Earbn and
Kirin and the administrator OF New
Chwang.
Enveoped in Secrecy.
The proceedings at the conference are
enveloped in profound secrecy. 1t is pop
ularly supposed the Russian officials are
considering war questions.
The commercial foreign officers at New
Chwang and Port Arthur believe that the
possibility of war is increasing steadily.
The Russian policy is believed to be to
hold the Manchurian position and to take
no steps to avert hostilities with Japan If
1t is assured that Japan will fight un-
aided.
The war feeling among the Japanese in
China is intensifying.
The Russian civil administration, with
the governor general of New Chwang, has
commenced the erection Of a government
building designed to hold all the Russian
officers, including the telegraph and tele-
phone departments, in the center of the
foreign settlement, partly on land ceded
by the Chinese, according to the Russian
explanation, and partly on the public
square, about which the foreign cousulates
are congregated.
Preparing to Protest.
Residents of other nationalities are pre-
pairing to protest against this encroach-
ment of the public square.
A Russian company yesterday COM
pleted the purchase of the river tug bust
ness here.
This is regarded as an important step
toward Russian control of the harbor, as
the new company is apparently acting in
behalf Of the Russian government, Russia
having but small commercial interests
here.
The British company had four boats
and the Russians have imported two more.
All six vessels are armed and command
ed by Russian officers. The crews are
composed of soldiers.

COLLINS IS NAMED
AS THE INSPECTOR
BUTTE MAN WILL LOOK AFTER
STOCK MATTERS IN SILVER
BOW COUNTY.

County commissioners today appointed
John Collins stock Inspector OF Silver
Pow county, with salary Of $50 a month
The salary is not regarded as sufficient to
make the position an object. were il not
expected Mr.. Collins will receive similar
appointments from Powell and Deer Lodge
counties.
Unite on One Man.
II has been the custom OF the three
counties to unite on one man for stock
inspector for all three and divide the bur
dan OF the salary. Last year Mr.. Collins
held the place named and drew salary from
the three counties.
He hopes to be appointed by Deer
Lodge and Powell again, and it is expect
cd those counties will jointly allow him a
salary Of $50 a month, making his stipend
500 in all. lis duties will be TO ride
the three counties and enforce the stock
laws.
Last year Mr.. Collins received SIS a
month from Silver Bow county and $50
from each OF the other counties, making
his salary Si7s a month.
Watches Suspicious Persons.
A part of Mr.. Collins duties lies in
keeping tab on the suspicious characters ia
the counties so t1ey cannot steal stock
with impunity.
1t is the belief OF the county commission
ers that one prosecution for stock steal
ing COSTS the state or county more than a
years salary 10 the stock inspector.
There is ST. 200 in the state funds which
IS appropriated 10 the three counties for
the enforcement OF the stock laws within
their boundaries and il is this money
which will go 10 pay Mr.. Collins
