SNAKE A FOOT LONG
CAME FROM HYDRANT

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 21.-Wiliam Lally Of
1889 Division street has preserved the
skin of snake which came from a
water hydrant in his back yard. The
skin, without the head, is trif1e more
than thirteen inches long and the rep
tile, when alive, was about that length.
In killing the serpent Mr.. Lally crushed
its head.
Mrs. Lally had gone to the hydrant,
which is near the kitchen door, to draw
water. When she turned the stopcock
there was a noise inside the pipe, but
the water did not come The hydrant
stands a little more than three feet
from the ground and Mrs. Lally was
bending over examining it when a dark.
brownish head with two shiny, beadlike
eyes appeared at the faucet a few
inches from her face.
She sprank backward with a scream
and watched the hydrant as the sanke
wriggled its way free. 1t dropped to the
ground and, coiling itself began to hiss
and strike. Her screams called her hus-
band. who killed the snake.

HAvILAH, Oct. 21.-Several mining
experts have been here lately--three
from San Francisco and five or six
from Los Angeles-and they all say
that this camp will be a larger and
much richer camp than any in Nevada
in less than year.
They can mine and mill ores here for
one-third less than any other camp in
this country, and they develop as good
If not better mines.
There is the St. Charles, which Mr.
Hearst owns; the Mckinley, the Sun
rise, Sunset and Jana Lin; the old
Uncle Abe or President; the Friday,
the Old Height or King Solomon, the
last two and some Others of note be-
longing to the King Solomon Mining
company, the owners being mostly Pas
adena men and Senator Hahn as their
president. rs4.s
There are few more such as the
Margaret Russell of which Mr.. Hum
mel of Los Angeles is the owner; the
Rocheford, which produced over half
a million dollars in eighteen months,
and the Warrington mine, which be-
longs to st. Paul men and which has
produced a large amount and would be
running today but for some cause not

until it is normal at 70 degrees Faren-
heit. The hotter it gets the faster the
bullet leaves the gun, and at 120 de-
grees it has gained thirty-five feet per
second.
The new gun will admit of extremely
rapid fire. Twenty-three aimed shots
have been fired in one minute, using
this gun as single loader, and twen-
ty-flve shots using magazine fire. Fir
ing from the hip without aim, twenty
seven shots have been fired in a min
ute as a single loader and thirty-five
using magazine fire. The maximum
range is 4247 yards, or nearly two and
a half miles. 1t takes a bullet 1854
seconds to make that distance, but it
travels considerably farther on a curve
owing to the elevation. The powder
pressure in the chamber of this rifle
is about $4,000 pounds per square inch.
AT fifty feet 1t will penetrato flfty-five
inches of white pine.

the convention of civic federation dele
gates, to be held in Pasadena this
week, announce that there will be a
banquet to the visitors on the evening
of October 25, the first day of the ses-
sion. The good roads question is like
ly to be brought UP at that meeting.
The Central Labor council is all split
up over the question of indorsing the
socialist ticket. Laborites met Saturday
evening and took vote on the propo-
sition, which resulted in a tie. The pres
ident of the labor council then an
nounced that he would vote for indorSe-
ment. This set one of the wise ones of
the ants by the ears and he also an
nounced that he would vote for in
dorsement. Under these circumstances
Endorsement carried and then the wise
one moved to reconsider and the matter
goes over until next week, when there
will be battle royal in the council.
Manuel Lopez, the Mexican youth ar
rested for setting up housekeeping with
a girl under 16 years of age, will not be
examined on a felony complaint on
Monday Instead he Will be married to
the girl and all will be happy to the end
of the chapter The young people have
all along been ready and willing to
wed, but the mother of the fond maiden
gave not her consent until today, and
without that consent marriage there
could not be, as the girl is too young.
Justice Congdon will perform, the cere-
mony. ~
City Treasurer Munson has collected
during the first two weeks ending this
evening $21,SS9. During the first two
weeks last year the total collections
only amounted to $10,179 so that the
former record is more than doubled
Two old time residents Of aPsadena

TINDER-DRY STRUCTURE
SAVED FROM DESTRUCTION
sneoial TO The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA. Oct. 21.-What prom
ised to be one Of the most dangerous
fires in the business sections Of the city
since the Holly street confagration in
which a woman was burned to death,
started yesterday afternoon.
A match carelessly tossed in the rear
of 80 North Raymond started the blaze
and it was fortunately quickly dis
covered.
The department had no trouble in
putting it out with the chemical engine.
The frame building which caught fire
belongs to Mrs. Heckler. 1t is tinder-
dry structure and stands between the
handsome Union bank building and the
Miohner & Hughes block. while the st.
Louis block, the most expensive for its
size in Pasadena, almost directly ad-
joins.
Had the fire taken place an hour later
when the office would have been closed,
1t would probably have been the worst
in the history Of the city.

and another team gathered ON tne spur
of the moment was turned to SADNESS
by serious accident. While Ponce,
man Jack Slade was at bat he whiried
about in an endeavor to avoid peing
struck by a pitched ball and. was nit
squarely on the right elbow -.
Slade did not know that he had peen
frightfully hurt until he had taken
his base, when his arm began to swell
in an alarming manner. He at once
went home, but before he reached
there his arm had swollen until his
clothing had to be cut from the IN
jured member.
An investigation by surgeon
showed that Slade's arm was badly
broken above the elbow. The injured
arm was set at once and placed In
cast and now the policeman will
have to give up active duty for some
time.
sIade has been particularly unfor-
tunate. Just short time ago ne was
released from the hospital after an
operation which had kept him there
for several weeks. Just how serious
this latest misfortune is to prove the
medical men are not yet willing to

Not knowing how badly Slade had
been hurt the ball game was con-
tinued. Only seven innings were
played and the policemen won by
score of % to 1S. Not quite full nine

SPITE OF COOL WEATHER
special to The Herald.

PASADENA, oct. Glover 1900 peo-
pie attended the second, Sunday band
concert of the Seasun this afternoon
and the affair was very successful IN
spite of the sudden coolness of the
weather.
The concert was held in Central park
and lasted from 2 until after o'clock.
There are stih ten Sunday concerts
remaining and upon their success will
undoubtedly depend their continuance.
Unlike most cities the municipality,
aside from allowing the band to use
the public band stand in the publit
parks, makes no contribution toward
the fund for paying the players.
This fund is entirely raised among
the local merchants, and unless the
concerts prove successful they will be
dropped at the close Of the series.

NEW ARMY RIFLE A WONDER
Takes More Science to Use 1t and Get
Results Than One Would
lnnauine

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The new
magazine rife. model of 1903, with
which the army is equipped is 80
caliber. The cartridge .oaded with
about 4S.O grains and the bullet leaves
the rifle at the rate of 1900 feet per
second. The complete cartridge
weighs about 45O grains. The bullet
has core of lead and tin composition
inclosed in a Jacket of cupro-nickel
The sides of the bullet are smooth and
the base fiat. 1t weighs 22O grains.
Five cartridges are packed in a BAN
doleer made of khaki cloth, with six
pockets. Each pocket is sewed up, but
a piece of tape is attached in such a
manner that by pulling on its end the
seam readily opens. The weight of the
bandoleer with cartridges is about four
pounds.
For guard purposes special cart
ridge will be manufactured, loaded
with fifteen grains of powder and an
unjack9ted bullet of lead and tin COM
position weighing III grains. 1t Will
give good results at 100 yards and can
be used up to 150 and 200 yards. There
is also gallery practice cartridge TOT
use up to 100 feet. 1t is loaded with
three grains of .SS caliber powder.
Those who think they know all that
is necessary In shooting modern
rifle should read the instructions to
be issued for the use of the new mod
ell rifle. They say, in part:
''In adjusting the sight for elevation
at any range 1t must be borne In mind
that, in addition to the allowance made
for variations in the muzzle velocity OF
the ammunition allowance must also
be made for the effect of difference in
light, the amount Of front sight seen
the effect or heat developed In firing,
the personal equation OF the firer the
peculiarities of individual guns etc.
Not SO easy to become sharp
shooter.
1t is an interesting fact that the in
itial velocity changes with the diffffer-
ence In temperature. At zero there Is
a loss OF eighty feet per second, which
diminishes as the temperature rises

UNLUCNEsT MAN IN STATE
White Plague Victim In Three Acct
dents, Crushing Foot, ParaIyzlns
Arm and Breaking Ribs
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, oct. 2f.--Foilowed By a.
train Of ill-luck, Theodore Beerman of
New York city has at last broken down
and admitted that he can stand but
little more. Up to today the man has
kept silent aud undergone sufferings
which would have killed many another
unfortunate.
Some three years ago Beerman was a
fairly prosperous electrician in New
York. While at work he received an
electrical shock which threw him TO the
ground and paralyzed one arm When
he had partly recovered he returned to
his vocation, when a sudden cold de-
veloped into tuberculosis.
The man was told that his only hope
for life lay in his getting to the dry,
invigoratlng climate Of California, and
so he started to work his way west :
ward During the trip out he fell from
a train because he could not use one of
his hands. His foot was crushed in this
accident, so that he could hardly walk
upon It when he was as well as 1t ever
will be.
Reaching San Diego Beerman started
to work as clerk In a hotel. He was
getting along quite nicely until he
slipped on the crushed foot which in
turn had been injured because he could
not use one of his hands, and broke
three ribs.
once out of the hospital the climate of
San Diego developed for the unfor-
tunate man an attack of asthma, which
determined him to go north. Some
weeks ago he reached Pasadena. and
after few useless efforts to work the
man gave UP.
Penniless and with no one to turn to,
Beerman was in q frightful condition,
when some people living at 1926 North
Wilson avenue took him In.
He is now there, and death promises
to give him speedy relief.

LONG BEACH, oct. 21.--Tomorrow
San Pedro will probably vote to annex
West Long Beach.
An election will be held In the 'harbor
city and in Terminal to determine
whether the latter, which was taken
into Long Beach year ago, shall now
be taken into San Pedro.
The probabilities are that Terminal
folk Will find themselves much annexed
and under the claims of two cities.
Ever since the election which deter
mined that Terminal should be annexed
to this city San Pedro has fought the
proposition at every turn.
Recently. after the fire at Terminal
island. San Pedro attempted to step
In and protect the claims of the squat
ters who had been ordered off their
former holdings
Long Beach then secured an injunc-
tion, cutting off this Interference.
San Pedro attorneys, at least Henry
Steiglitz, the city clerk, and City At
torney Goodrich, declare this intunc-
tiorf will not hinder the holding of the
contemplated election.
Attorney Goodrich, however, has adj
mitted that he thinks the election will
be without results, save to incur ad-
ditional expense to his city.
Local lawyers are wondering where
the authority for the election can come
from, since Judge Bordwell has up
held the validity of the former an
nexation.
However, the local authorities say
they will not interfere with the hold
ing of the election tomorrow. even to
the erection Of the booths in West
Long Beach.
They say that this city Is plainly
in the right and that San Pedro will
gain nothing by the election but, rath-
er, will lose.
Consequently Long Beach will not
trouble herself to interfere, one way
or another with the election.
