Big Rather Killed.

Frank Jones dog killed large timber
rattle snake on Franks farm west of
town last Saturday. Frank heard the
dog baying something and went to him
and found that he had discovered big
RATHER in clump Of short grass and
weeds. His snakeship was furious from
the worrying of the dog and was making
the rattles of his tail hum and making
occasional leaps of three or four feet at
the dog in efforts to inflict him with a
deadly bite. The dog was encouraged
by the coming of his master and watch
ing his opportunity and after one Of
the rattler's leaps at him caught the
snake in his teeth before he had time
to recoil for another strike, and shaking
him rapidly for few times threw him
twenty feet into the air. The instant
the snake struck the ground the dog
had him again and the process was
repeated. When he reached the
ground the second time he was dead
RATHER and minus part of his tail and
rattles, which had been whipped off by
the shaking given him by the dog. The
snake was nearly four feet long with
body as thick as a mans wrist and
bearing the beautiful and characteristic
yellow and white spots peculiar to the
large timber rattle snake. Fortunately
they are now rarely met in this section

Geo. Swegle is again in trouble. Be-
fore Justice Price Monday he paid
fine of $500 and cost, amounting to
$685., on a charge of assault and
battery. There are several stories
floating around, and as it is a habit in
Van Vert to hold court behind closed
doors, we are compelled to do the
best we can on rumors only. 1t seems
as if George and Grogan, who lives
east Of Weldon, were INDUCING in
Peruna? Geo. says that Grogan sent his
boy in buggy for a certain lady, about
nine o'clock last Friday night telling
her that Mrs. Swegle was i'll and need
ed her attention. The lady refused to
go, the boy reported and was sent back
for Mrs. Frank Wilson with the same
story. Mrs. Wilson quickly responded
to the call, and taking her little
daughter with her started to the Swegel
home west of town. At the railroad
bridge the buggy was stopped by the
waiting Don Juans who attempted to
get into the buggy the boy jumping out,
Grogan succeeded in getting in, and
placed his arm around Mrs. Will
sons waist, while Swegel stood by
the side of the buggy. 1t is reported
that they ask her to come with them
that there would be So, or $1,000 fol
her if she would go with them for a
little while. Mrs. Wilson became
frightened and grabbing her child rar

was fined, but Grogan is still unmolest

born In Salt Lake city, Nov. II, 1872.
Her parents were of the profession
and she herself made her first stage
appearance when yet child. Her first
real dramatic engagement was in
Hoyt's play, "a Midnight Bell" She
appeared in this play for about three
seasons. 1t was in the performance of
this play that Charles Frohman first
saw the young girl. He was impressed
with her evident talents and engaged
her as leading woman for John Drew,
at that time the head Of the Empire
Theater company. Her first work with
Mr.. Drew was in THE Masque Ball. /"
She won such success that in 1898
Mr.. Frohman advanced her to a stellar
position, assigning to her the part of
Babbie in Barrie's play, THE Little
Minister. In this play Miss Adams
quickly made national reputation.
THE Little Minister" was followed by

HALF THE UNITED STATES
HAS PROHIBITION LAWS

The average citizen who visits
towns with saloons and sees people
there and elsewhere drinking liquor
becomes imbued with the idea that
liquor trafac is common almost every
where in the United States; but that
is because he has not travelled much
and 10 not acquainted with what is
actually being accomplished on be-
half Of the prohibition of the LIQUOR
traffic In our country.
For instance, he would be of the
opinion, because Chicago has some
10000 saloons that that city is the
hellhole Of the liquor traffic. How
ever, II he were to examine into ac-
tual conditions he would discover
that OF the 20 square miles of Chi
cago territory, in only on half may
liquor be sold, under any law. The
remainder Of the city-and that In
caudes much of the business section
Is either straight prohibition or local
option prevails. Scattered thru the
city are large spots where absolute
prohibition, so far as the laws are
concerned, prevails. The whole SOUTH
ern half Of the city is under the local
option law or straight prohibition.
So strong in Chicago and the remain
der Of Illinois is the prohibition SEN
tment that at the last session of the
legislature a prohibition law passed
the senate and lacked only one vote
in the house of passage. The bill had
a referendum clause and would not
have been adopted until adopted by
the voters of a county, township, vii
hge, city, ward, precinct or collec-
an application of the saloon principle
on the principle of local option.
The prohibition movement in the
entire country has progressed stead
lily since the civil war, until at pres
ent, according to the Prohibition
Book, fully half Of the territory of
the United States Is prohibition.
Following are the states and terri
tories with prohibition territory:
Alabama-20 prohibition counties.
