Try the Gold Cure.

Some of the boys who had rattle
snake in a box with wirenetting top
decided that they would kill the
snake by drowning: so they weighted
the box with rocks and let it down
into the river. After letting the
snake down an hour and a half they
hauled up the box and found the
snake not only alive but so mad that
he was nothing but a hiss and rat
ties. The drowning is postponed for
the time being and probably some
other scheme will be tried to end
his snakeship's life.-Cocoa and
Rockledge News.

RESCUED FROM A CREVASSE.

Anthony Fiala, in his records of
Two Years in the Arctic" in Nc
Clure's Magazine, tells of his rescue
from a deep crevasse on Hooker Isl.
and. He was crossing an ice cap,
when the snow gave way beneath
him. He began ffghtful descent
and then lost consciousness.
On recovering consciousness, he
writes, found myself wedged be-
tween two curves in the walls of the
crevasse, the convex surfaces of
which narrowed sufficiently to hold
me between the breast and back. MY
left arm was bent over my breast,
and had prevented me from falling
through the neck of the funnel. Be-
meath was a great cavern in which |
could move my legs without finding
the walls. Had | stepped three feet
further to the right | should have
dropped to depths unfathomable.
The darkness was intense, but far
above me shone a faint halo of blue
with rays of light that came part way
along a face of black, CLASSY ice.
This told me where the men were.
They asked how deep | had fallen.
l shouted that was about $50 feet
down, for so it semeed to me. Just
then | heard an awful sound in the
crevasse. 1t appeared to come from
below. My first thought was that
pack of dogs had fallen in with me.
Soon the noise turned into articulate
speech, and | learned that Steward
Spencer, who had tried to save me,
had fallen in, too.
At last l saw above me the end of
Il rope, which gradually neared. My
right arm was free, and at last the
precious line was in my hand. |.

Of the rope, the fingers of my left
hand being, fortunately, free. Slip

l called to them to move the rope to
the right and then to lower me, and
dense darkness | discovered the
steward, but could not rescue him
on account of a projection of ice that
interfered. l told him it would be
best for the men to haul me up and
then send the rope down again for
him, to which he agreed | was

steward was hauled up next. No
bones were broken, but cut on the
stewards face required stitching.
On measuring the rope Seaman
Duffy found we had fallen to the
depth of seventy feet into the crev.

had fallen short distance further

A Sudden Death.

Last Friday evening tllecommnnity

was no more. Announcement had
been made in the papers OF last wee,
that All operation for appendicitis had
been performed upon him by DIR.
Hogue, of Linton, and Drs. Murdy and
johnson, of Aberdeen; but the idea
that Mr. Evans was in danger of sue
cumhing to the operation was not gen
orally known.
Richard a. Evans was born in llli
nois in the year 1861. lie came to
North Dakota in 1856, settling in this
county, and here he has resided ever
since
At The time of his death MIR. Evans
was having built in Linton large
stone building to be used as fnrni-
ture store. The outside work is al
most finished. The building will Ike

have the funeral held ON that day. 1t
was therefore postponed to Tuesdayat

Richard A.. Evans -kind-hearted,
sociable "Dick'' we'll liked by
every one He was among the first to
aid i'm any public undertaking, and in
his business methods lac was upright
and honorable. There was more of ii
charitable nature in his composition
than in many of those who make
greater pretensions to religion, but
hold fast to the coin when suffering
and sorrow come in sight. He is
greatly missed here, and it will be
many long day before he is forgotten.
The wife of our deceased fellow
townsman survives him.

date action would be taken to recon-
mend that the city engineer call on

brought against the city to demand
this sort of action.

''The city is fulfilling its part by

Thomas.
1.-The contractor comes here and he
ought to know what he was contract
ing for. The property owners are en-
titled to what they ask for and they
asked for the stone. The property
owners directly and also indirectly
are interested in this paving. They
pay for their pavement in front Of
their property and then they pay
again for the intersections in the gen
eral tax I think the council should
give us what we are asking for" said
M. Snattinger.
The city engineer insisted that the
oak plank headers were as good as the
stone and that it would be impossible
now to get the stone because the Colo
RADIO quarries were covered with snow
TO demand the stone now would
hinder the reDaving. He said the

Councilmen Holiday, Hughes and
Jordan backed up the property own

tee returned in a favorable recommen-
dalton for the resolution.
The council has taken a mighty
funny stand on this header business.
There has been a seeming belief that
the property owners don't know what
they are asking for. That they don't
know what is best for them. The

ADVICE, expert advice, which was paid
for. They are paying for this paving
