THE GILA MONSTER.
Trying to Discover the Indian Anti
 dote for Poison.

Although rattlesnakes are considered dangerous from a poisonous standpoint, they are very insignificant when com pared with the dreaded Gila monster of the sandy deserts of the Southwest ern United States says the Philadelphia Press. Professor William Westerbee, who has been studying these deserts creatures, has made a number of very interesting discoveries as to their na- ture and general habits. This lizard shaped animal when full grown meas ures about eighteen inches in length, and in girth is about the size of an ordinary boys arm. Its tail composes one third the length of it's body, and it's skin is of pustular nature and motley in color, giving reddish yellow and brown effect.
 Its legs are placed on the body simi- lar in character to those of a lizard, vcment of that animal. It seeks the hottest place in the desert and de- lights in heat ranging about 135 degrees. According to Professor Wetherbee. science does not know of a single anti dote to the poison emitted from this animal, and it was in hope of discov- ering such that he made a recent sOjourn in the deserts of Arizona and California. The rapid increase of set tiers in this section of the country, owing to the recent strides made by the reclamation projects has made 1t ne- Cessary for the authorities to look to their safety from this dreaded animal.
 Since the departure of the Indians from this part of the country these monsters have much increased in numbers, as the Indians killed them off formerly in large quantities. The Hualapais, q tribe of Mexican Indians, are said to have d remedy for the bite of the Gila monster, but this, however. is kept secret by the tribe, and all the Inducements so far made have been without results in trying to obtain even the smallest portion of this antidote. Unlike most poiscns of animals, which are generally of an acid composition. this exception is alkaline in nature.
 Death soon follows the bite of the animal. During the professors expe- riment a Mexican assistant was caught by the thumb by one of the animals, and the result was he died within twenty minutes, after first falling into a stupor. Another case was noted of half-M Mexican girl who was bitten. She at first was seized with paralysis. A little later she cried that her head
 was splitting. Gradually the pain, however, left her. and a few minutes before expiring she lasped into uncon- sciousness. During these developments, she lived about two hours and a half after being bitten. Professor Wether-
 bee intends going among the Hualapais and trying to secure the secret of this tribe as regards the antidote.

ARIZONA ALL RIGHT
As a Cattle Country California Cannot
 Compare.

John R. Norton, who returned two or three days ago from a trip over large part of California, says he is now more than ever convinced that Arizona as a cattle country has California beaten clear out of the race. In arriving at this conclusion he does not mean this year particularly, but one year after another, all conditions considered. He says that he has seen a large portion of their grazing and feeding sections and they all have their drawbacks. Arizona sometimes has a drouth that injures the cattlemen very materially but there are other things such as mar ket and winter climate that more than compensate.
 In the first place the California peo- pie have to market their cattle within a given limited time which forces the prices down. If they try to hold their cattle later, they lose flesh and the profits are gone. In Arizona, in an or dinary year, they car turn out fat cat tie either from the ranges or the pas lures almost the year round. If they don't want to sell the cattlemen are us- ually in position to wait till the mar ket IS better. Except in few places in Arizona there are no severe winters and killing storms to destroy the herds

a while suspicon found voice. which grew strident. He was actually accus- ed of embezzlement, and arrested. A 1 considerable part of Mound City thought that was an outrage, but a necessary legal form which ought to be corrected by the next legislature in fa- vor of such fervently religious charac- ters as MT. Carter, who could certainly mean no harm.
 The sheriff of Linn county served a warrant of arrest on MT. Carter in which he was charged with the embez- clement of s9,000 belonging to the heirs . of the Olden G. Hamm estate. MT. Car ter sent for an attorney and he and the sheriff and MT. Carter talked it over in a jocular way. MT. Carter, guilty of embeZzlement, that was enough to make Mound City laugh.
 TEe lawyer who had accompanied MT. Carter and the sheriff to a restau- rant went away, promising to see his client the next morning and arrange the bond. The bond. by the way. was arranged by the unusually faithful at torney at once.
 Not long after the departure of the lawyer, Mir. Carter arose hurriedly and told the sheriff that there was some thing he forget to tell his lawyer: he would rush out and tell him. The sher- fir sat complacently and never saw MT. Carter again.
 After what was supposed to be his, permanent departure, his bondsmen be- came financially curious. Not long ago they learned that he had been living at Tempe. AriZ.
 Last Friday night a young man by the name of F. s. Preston arrived in Phoenix He wanted to buy n lot of drouth stricken cattle for Southeastern Kansas, where there had been more wetness than they knew what 10 do with.
 MT. Preston happened also to be 2 new sheriff of Linn county, Kansas. and he had a acquisition for a man by tho name of John l.. Carter.
 He learned on his arrival that Mir. Carter had been here and departed mo- body knew where. but it was supposed that he had gone to San Diego. The Kansas sheriff also learned that Mir Carter during his stay in Phoenix, not withstanding his religious propensties had supplanted another man in the af- fections of q certain widow and had then gone away.
 The Kansas sheriff was about to pursue his investigation into the state of California. In the meantime the in terest of Sheriff Cook and Deputy Sher- fir Roberts were enlisted and they were making q canvass of all the un- attached widows. By one of those cir cumstances which happen only once in a thousand years, Carter returned on Saturday night from San Diego to see his Phoenix widow. Within an, hour he was taken into custody.
 Yesterday morning he admitted to Sheriff Preston that he WAS the crimi- nal of whom the Kansas authori- ties had been in search for six years. He also pro fessed gray haired repent arcc. Mir. Carter is sixty years of age.
 The papers in the case will be pre- seuted tC Acting Governor Nichols this morning.

or render them thin in flesh, while in California when the fattening season is over, it is a case of sell or wait till next year and do it an over again.
 Another thing MT. Norton is very favorably impressed with Is the com parison between the sanitary laws of Arizona and California. He says Ari- zona has better laws and has them bet ter enforced. At one time or another rearly every disease that stock Is sub ject to has tried to get a foothold here but in every instance it has been stamped out. all the way from hog cholera to ticks. O:i the other hand. California to some extent harbors all diseases that are a menace to live stock and for some reSson has never been able to thoroughly eradicate any Of them.
