USE FOR THE MUCK RAKE.

Postmater Elder received word to-
day from the postofiice department
that an inspector would be sent here
in few days TO inspect the town with
tbs view OF establishing free deIiv
cry. The only thing that possibly
could prevent the free delivery system
being established IL the condition or
non condition Of our sidewalks. ---
Journal.
Yet It IL but few weeks since the
Journal was opposing better side
walks, and at that time the Press
called attention to the fact that free
delivery would not be established
where these walks we're not laid. II
the city gets free delivery 1t will be
only IN the sldewalked districts.
The Journal people ought to have the

Thrtr Bite is somStlmss Fatal and Al.
ways Dangerous.
In recent Issue OF the Scientific
American an article appeared written
by ID. Allen Wiley describing the ella
monster The statement was made In
the article that scientists had Ques-
toned whether it's bite was fatally
poisonous, as has been supposed. W.
q. Barnes Of Las Vegas, ~ M, claims
to know Of two cases, in one Of which
death resulted. Mr.. Barnes writes as
follows:
1.-THE first man was In Tombstone,
Ariz. The ella was tied By the leg
In saloon as a curio, and a drunken
gambler named Brown was teasing II.
TIe careIessly stuck his frst two IN
gers into Its mouth, which Immediate
~ closed down on them and could not
be released until the reptiles head
was cut or and the jaws cut apart.
Brown suffered horrible agony for al
most two days. and in spite Of all ef-
forts he died.
THE second case was in the fall Of
1880. Walter Vail started from the
Empire ranch. near Benson, Ariz.. to
ride into town on horseback. some hf-
teen miles. A short distance from the
ranch a monster was sluggIshly drag
glng It's way across the road. Think
Ing to take II IN for q friend, he got
down and killed II, or at least he
thought he killed II. To carry II easily
he tied II on his saddle behind him.

As he Hoped along he thought to assure
himself It hadn't dropped or by reach

hand and feeling for the monster.
'Tt was there and not nearly AZ
dead as he thought His first finger
went into the reptiles mouth clear to
the knuckle. and instantly those jaws
with the long, sharp, dagRerllke teeth
closed on vail's finger. With his left
hand he managed to get his knife out
and cut the saddle strings and then
had to dlssect the head and Jaws to
get his finger from their grip.
"Yail then spurred his horse into
Benson and found an engine in the
yards. A hasty exchange OF kilograms
with the division superintendent and
Tucson took place, and In q few mo-
menta he was on the engine and rae
ing over the road for Tucson. where an
eminent surgeon resided at that time.
Vail lay at deaths door for two
months. and that finger today Ii use

The session of the legislature just
closed cost the state trifle over $780,
900, and from this expenditure resulted
about 525 laws, or at least that number
have been sent down to the governor
for his signature. There is not enough
money to pay all the bills.
The appropriation of $l9O,0OOIfor leg
islative expenses was exhausted yester-
day and State Treasurer Dinehart an
nounced that if the remaining bills
which amount to about 81 800, were to
be paid, funds would have to be pro-

This 81 800 includes $1,000 for Senator
Hackney. which should have been pro-
vided for in the omnibus bill, and about
$500 for persons employed in the en-
crossing department the last two days

test with Senator Hackney, drew his
money the day the bill was passed.
With all bills in, the cost of the SEES
sion is a trife over 100000, but it may
reach more.

COMMITTED TO ASYLUM
Frank Krabanek Was Bent on Des.
troyins Man and Property.

One Frank Krabaneck, claiming Chi
cago as his home, but for the past year
has made his headquarters at New
Prague, was brought before the probate
ted to the asylum at ST. Peter. 1t
seems that he was employed last sum-
mer on the farm of ex- Commissioner j.
w. Kucera, but some difficulty arose
and he quit before his time was out.
He remained in New Prague from that
time on, and repeatedly made the re-
mark that he would get even with his
former employer. Mr.. Kucera learned of
the threats and to ward himself against
loss of his stock, kept his barn locked at
night. However, the fellow went to the
Kucera home last Thursday night and
finding the barn locked, secured wrench
and unfastened window through which
he gained entrance. On Friday morning
when Mr.. Kucera opened the barn door,
Krabanek stepped from behind it and
pointed a revolver at him saying: snow
guess / have got you," or something
to that effect. Mr.. Kucera stepped back
and shut the door, then ran to the house
to get gun. The fellow disappeared
during his absence, but was discovered
by Sheriff Traxler about six o'clock in
the evening, huddled up in straw
rick about three quarters of a mile from
New Prague. He carried a thirty eight
caliber repeating Colt revolver, and had
a box of arsenic with which it is thought
he intended to poison Mr.. Kucera's
stock.
