SKUNK WITH DEADLY BITE.
Remarkable characteristics of Small
Animal of Arizona Cat
tie Ranges.


Arizona has a skunk that is a veri-
table terror to the cowboy of the cat
tie ranges, as well as to the Mexicans
of the plains. The little black and
white animal is remarkable in the first
place from the fact that it has no odor
which has caused naturalists to uoubt
whether it belongs to the genus meph-
tits, as does the skunk so common in
most part of North America But the
fame of the ella monster, the loath-
some copper and black-hued lizard,
pales before the dreadful prestige OF
this little animal, for it is said a wound
from its sharp teeth will cause man o.
woman to die the death of a raving
maniac. Why this skunk has this fate
full power, says the Brooklyn Eagle,
has never been ascertained, though the
sturdy wodsmen or rangers of the ter
ritory will tell you that once upon a
time one of these little skunks, which
are somewhat smaller than the skunk
SO we'll known from its all-pervading
odor, was bitten by a rabid dog and SO
transmitted the disease to all Its kith
and kin.
Be that as it may, the fact remains
that throughout the most of Arizona,
particularly in the lumber country
around Flagstaff, the very name of
skunk is feared more than snakes, tar
antulas or centipedes. In that coun-
try of wondrous clearness Of atmos-
phere, where sleeping out Of doors is as
common, if not more so, than sleeping
in house or tent, this 1.-the, creeping
terror has a good field for his deadly
operations. The men in camp are care
full when sleeping to cover UP even
their heads when possible, but often in
the night the blanket slips and man
will waken to find that he has been
nipped in the mouth or through the
nose by the sharp teeth of the hydro
phobic skunk.
A physician at Winslow, Arizona,
last spring, was called to attend a
strapping six-foot cattleman from the
Tonic Basin, who had been bitten in
the ear by skunk. The ear was lacer-
ated as though it had been torn by q
piece of barbed wire. The doctor at
once started the badly frightened man
off for the Pasteur institute in Chica-
go. But at Kansas City the patient met
the possessor of maidstone. It's won
derful virtues were so dilated upon
that the bitten man remained in Kan
sas City to try its effect upon his case.
Perceiving no unfavorable symptoms,
and his ear having apparently healed,
he went no further, but returned to
Winslow in June, and to his family an
the ranch in Tonic Basin. On the
Fourth of July the cattleman came in
with his family to attend a celebration
at Winslow. He began to act strangely
and foamed at the mouth when water
was offered him. Then followed mus
cular contractions, and though the SER
vices OF three physicians were secured
the man died in less than SO hours In
violent conyulsions.

made them absolutely pitiless to-

The Jews became Almost insane
with fear. Now and then a door
of a Jews shop would be cautions
ly opened and the proprietor stand
ing in the doorway would rapidly
empty his revolver, sometimes
when there was nobody at all in
the street. and then his door would
close with a bang and the bolts
would be drawn, while hysterical
women's screams sounded inside.
The police did nothing, either on
the Thursday or Friday. They are
not to blame, for they had been
disarmed and had been subjected
to indgnites by the town authori-
ties, as soon as Wednesdays news
of the granting of d constitution
had been receiEed. The Odessa
governors thought in this way they
were showing themselves support
ers of freedom, but instead, they

caught three Jews whom they at
once killed and robbed.
This is the way all Friday was
spent Firing hardly ceased for a
moment. The sharp crack of rifles
and revolvers sounded everywhere.
Thursday was the day of loot, and
Friday the day or slaughter.
Ambulances went about in the
trial of the mob, like Red Cross
wagons after a victorious army.
People suffering from frightful
wounds were picked up, sometimes
five and six in bunch, and then
the ambulances raced back to the
municipal hospitals, to return onae
more to the battlefield for further
victims.
Streams of blood ran along the
cutters to the sewers, and the
street stones were dyed deep red.
There was stencil of drying blood
in the air, and one of the friends
in my house, who had been through
the Boer war, declared his prefer
ence for a South African battle
field to an Odessa street.
1t was simply counting death for
anyone not workingman or a
rough to venture into the streets.
The mobs held up passersby and

not seek to loot the shops of
Christians nor to break into Chris
tan houses when it thought Jews
were there. 1t was mad for the
sight Jew blood and Jew loot, and
it's madness remained in this
straight channel.
At last, toward midnight, the
street firing ceased and the mobs
returned home, unable through
physical exhaustion to continue
the murder longer.

the soldiers took deliberate aim
over the heads of the crowd and
fired. The mob took up the cry,
shouted, They are harboring Jews!
Throw down the Jews! Wreck the
house,"
1t was a trying time for us. We
three were alone in the house, with
several Russian servants, who were
crazed with fright and who kept
urging us to take refuge in the
barn. We could not hope - pro-
tect our selves once the mob got in,
and matters would have looked
bad for us, for though there were
no Jews in the. house we mad a
number of sporting guns, and the
mob would undoubtedly have been
driven mad by the sight of them.
The people ran into our front
yard and scrambled up a ladder to
the roof, expecting to find Jews
there. They came down disap-
pointed, and were about to storm
our front door when our janitor
blocked the way, telling the mob
there were no Jews inside. The
mob took his coat from him and
were about to brush him aside,
when suddenly the crowd in the
streets shouted, "the Jews are next
door! We see them!"

Like in the French revolution
suspicion that man was an aris-
tocrat was sufficient for his con-
demnation, so suspicion that a
house harbored Jews was sufficient
for an attack to be made on it.
