CONSTRUCTION GANG WITNESSES
STRANGE FIGHT BETWEEN
TABBY AND REPTILE.
FELINE PROVES THE VICTOR
Goes Wild with Fright and Fury at
Sight of Coled Monster-SIowIy
But Surely the Enemy Is
Vanquished.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Life in a rail
road construction camp at it's best is a
hard, humdrum existence but men, no
matter where they are or what may
be the conditions under which they
earn and eat their daily bread, will
IND some way to pass the tedious
hours while they rest their weary
frames
Such camp was the scene of one
of the strangest battles between two
widely different species of living be-
ings one warm Sunday afternoon.
The place was among the rugged
hills of Iowa, just over the Minnesota
line. 1t was there that gang of
about 100 men watched fight to the
death between mans worst enemy,
big rattlesnake, and the pet of the
camp, a half-grown kitten.
Somehow, from somewhere this
kitten had come and cast it's lot among
the rough laborers, attracted, perhaps,
by the promise of food from the COM
pany's boarding car. 1t quickly made
friends with the lonely men. but was
wild and hard to approach, although
it tried to be friendly and in spite of
the life she had led was a pretty ami

On this particular Sunday after
noon the men were passing the time
as best they could, gathered around
the bunk cars, when one of them no.
t1ced the camp cat circling around a
certain spot on the right of way The
cat was flashing itself with her tail and
seemed wild with fright and fury.
The workers gathered quickly, form
ing ring, and the reason for the cats
strange action was found to be large
RATHER coiled into the sand with it's
head raised to strike and it's rattles
playing lively hum of warning.
The cat paid no attention to the
gathering of the men and the crowd
remained quiet. watching proceedings,
curious to see what would be the out
come.
Round and round went Tabby, each
time making the circle smaller. With
eyes shining like living Goals of fire,
her fur stood on end and the white
froth streamed from her champing
jaws Crouching low, carefully and
guardedly she crept nearer and near
er to the deadly foe.
When the feline had reached a point
within few feet of the coiled and

still flashing her tail.
Again and again was this perform
ance repeated until it could be seen
that the descendant of the tiger fam
lily had conquered mankind's most
hated enemy.
Finally the snake struck more feebly
and recoiled more slowly. Then Tab
by succeeded in sinking her teeth in the
snakes neck. This time she did not
let go her hold, but crunched and
crunched until she had finished her
job and killed the enemy.

hung in the bunk cars, but from that
day until winter broke up the camp

SturdeVant Prepares to Push Wiscon-

According to the opinion of Former
Attorney General 1. NJ. Sturdevant, spe-
cial claim agent of Wisconsin, the
state has a good chance of getting
over 100000 from the federal gov
eminent for state lumber lands on the
Menominee, Oneida, Lapoints and
Court Oreilles Indian reservations.
Mr.. Sturdevant is preparing a bill
which will be introduced in congress
next December by one of the Wiscon-
sin senators to reimburse the state for
the lands in question. For several
weeks Mr.. Sturdevant has been work
ing on the states claim and believes
that by the time the bill is introduced
he will be prepared to convince the
committee of congress of the justice of
WiscOnsin's calm.
State Forester E. NJ. Griffith has ex-
amined the lands and says they con-
tain much valuable timber. Mr.. Stur-
devant is aso preparing to push Wis
consin war claims against the federal
government the coming winter, and
says the state may recover over ST.

SAYS LAW MUST b ENFORCED
ATTORNEY GENERAL NOTIFIES
!, MAYOR OF NEW ULM THAT
LID MUST BEPUT ON.

st. Paul, Aug. 21.-Attorney General
Young took action yesterday on the
complaint filed by citizens of New
Ulm. He notified Mayor Silverson
that the Sunday closing law must be
enforced. Otherwise he will proceed
under the law for the mayors removal
from office. Mayor Silverson has
taken the stand that as long as the
people of New Ulm do not want the
Sunday law enforced, he will not take
any steps tC enforce it. The attorney
generals letter to Mayor Silverson
says in part: "It is unnecessary to
call your attention to the fact that 1t
is your duty as mayor to cause the
laws of the state relating to the regu-
lation of the liquor traffic to be en-
forced in your city. Under the same
law it is my duty to cause the removal
and punishment Of municipal officers
who willfully neglect to enforce such
liquor laws.
"The saloons of your city must
close and remain closed on Sunday,
the same, as they do elsewhere i'll the
state, and unless | am advised that
YOU cause this to be done hencefor-
ward | will be compelled to exercise
the power conferred on this office in
the premises"
