came on, finding himself unable to res
trace his steps. he abandoned his horse,
cached his saddle and bride, and turn
ed the animal loose, as it was unable
to carry him through the IA.
He spent the night on the bleak
mountain side and on Thursday morn
ing began the descent on foot reach
kinui, tired. hungry, footsore and half
naked.
In the meantime the alarm had been
given, and experienced mountaineers
from Uu1upalakua and neighboring
ranches turned out and began a search
for him which terminated only when
the telephone flashed the tidings that
Mr.. Holt had found himself.

Many rattlesnakes are seen among the
rocky detiles of the higher reaches of the
mountains and here and there along the
piny trails. His snakeship is retiring in
his tastes and is keeping we'll away from
human habitation. For those who do
care to explore the slopes along the high
er attitudes there is plenty of buzz and
coil and crawl and, wriggle to be seen
without much searching. Charles Green.
of Pasadena, says he kills snake every
time he goes out on horseback. He has
his hat and saddle decorated with their
skins. The old timers attribute the ear
ly appearance and abundance of the
snakes to the dry season and the sudden

plant and the hippopotamus In size.
and in nature very ferocious toward
man." Unbelfeving, he paid little at
tention to what had been told him.
However, later, when in the neigh
borhood of Dali, near the Great falls,
the accounts were given with more de-
tail. The animal in question, or at
least one of it's species, lived near the
source of the Mourk; it lay In wait
for the canoes, upset them, and in
preference attacked the women and
children. Twice the natives fetched
me to see it as it slept on the sand
bank. But on each occasion it had dis
appeared when 1 got there.

DOGS scURFEW IN ENGLAND
Legislation for the Apprehension Of
CANNES That Damage and :,
Worry Cattle.

Dogs in Great Britain, if they only
knew it, have much reason to fear a
bill introduced in parliament by Mr..
Fellowes, lord of the treasury; Mr..
Walter Long, president of the local gov
eminent board, and the solicitor general,
reports the London Chronicle.
The dogs bill is apparently designed
to lessen the damage done by dogs in
the worrying of cattle, and this it pro-
poses to do by instituting kind of cur
few for dogs, and by robbing them of
the time-honored privilege of "first
bite"
Hitherto, in order to be successful in
an action for damage done by a dog,
1t has been necessary to prove pre-
vious mischievous propensity in the an
1mal. The first clause of the new bill
recites that "the owner of a dog shall be
liable in damages for injury done TO
any cattle by that dog; and it shall not
be necessary to show previous mis-
chievous propensity in the dog, or the
owners knowledge of such propensity,
or to show that the injury was attribut-
able to neglect on the part of the owner"
A dog proved to have chased or IT,
jured cattle may be dealt with as dan-
gerous dog under section two of the
act of 1871.
The curfew regulation empowers the
board of agriculture to make orders
flor preventing dogs from straying dur
Ing all or any of the hours between sun
set and sunrise"
Stray dogs may be impounded at the
expense of the owner, and If not
claimed within five clear days, may be
destroyed.
The act is intended to apply also to
Scotland and Ireland, and to come into
operation in 1905.
