In compliment to Messrs. Burn
EFT and Crashaw of the inmigra-
ton service, who left Brownsville
today, having been transferred
from this section to other points,
luncheon was served at the French
restaurant i'll Matamoros last even
ing, by their fellow employees in
the service here. Those participant
ing, besides the guests of honor,
were Mr.. Lawton, inspector in
charge of this immigration district,
Mr.. Atkinson, U. S. Consul Miller
of Matamoros, and also Mr.. Miller,
clerk OF the consulate. A very
pleasant time was had, although
the tinge of sadness caused by the
necessity of saying goodbye made
the occasion perhaps less joyful
than it would otherwise have been.

ton for several years. Prior tc
coming here he was far down in
the state of Tamaplipas, Mexico,
/ for three years, where he gathered
snakes ard animals of all kinds.
He captured specimens of the pee
cary or javalina with as little com
junction as he did the ocelots or
bob cats.
On the farm near this city he has
hundred of pounds of snakes, cats
of different kinds, peccaries, arma-
dillos, coons, etc. The local depot
of the Armstrong company was es-
tablished with the idea of acclima
tizing animals before shipping
them north. Animals, like human
beings, must become accustomed
to climatic conditions. 1t is also
the intention to construct a train
ing arena, where the larger animals
can be taught the tricks which are
the basis for all of their wonderful
performances. This latter has yet
to be done, but Mr.. Ferguson said
yesterday that it would be accom-
plished within a comparatively
short time.
The Armstrong company does
great business. As an example, it
handled 5000 pounds of snakes
through its San Antonio house last
year.
Yesterday a shipment of the
deadly Mexican diamond rattlers
was received. These snakes were
more than angry. They Kissed and
the beware" alarm at the
slightest sound. Altogether there
were 800 pounds Of the diamond
rattlers and they made a formid-
able mass of writhing, tangled |
vipers. But one bull snake could |
have ended the existence of the en-
ire lot in a comparatively short
line.
A bull snake is right at home
when it comes to sending rattle
or almost any old kind of
eptile, to the snake ValhalIa. A
attlesnake is defenseless against
he constructor snakes. There are
wo kinds of snakes, incidentally,
he vipers and the constructors.
Among the vipers are rattlers, moe
asins, copperheads, ETC., while
be constructors are those which
rush their prey to death in their
errible folds. The bull snake is a

ed, their feet cut off and they are
tossed in while still warm. 1t is
then that the hundreds of pounds
of reptiles reach eagerly for the in
frequent morsels. Once fed they
don't worry about the next meal,
because it is long ways off.
Lurking in the rear of a small
cage at the farm are two of the
animals that are famous on the
plains of Western Texas-the
sneaking, much-abused coyotes.
Everybody in this section of the
country knows the coyote. In one
of the corrals are 10 peccaries, or
javalina, as they are called here
and in Mexico. Three of these
animals were secured from this sec
ton and the remainder from Mex |
leo. The peccary is the ancestor of |
the great American hog and is
similar to the wild boar of Rus
STA.
In separate cages are four lynx
kittens or bob cats. They are only
a few months old, but are already
spiteful and ready to fight. There
are II ocelots or tiger cats. One of
the female ocelots has two kittens,
as stated yesterday. One of the
ocelots is distinctively Mexican
animal, and is the prettiest one of
the bunch. There are rs armadillos
in different cages. These animals
sleep all dav and stir about little
at night. Meat is fed the ocelots
and bob cats, each animal receiv-
ing a quantity of fresh beef or liver
every evening. The armadillos eat
ground corn.

MRS. WARDWELL IS
LOSING HER MIND
Pathetic Case of Leper Widow
Who Was Recently in
Tombstone.

LES ANGELES, Nov. 13.-Mrs. isa-
belle Wardwell. the leper widow. who
since being returned to this state by
the Arizona authorities, has been in
the contagious ward of the county
hospital, is rapidly losing strength.
For days she has been unable to leave
her bed and refuses constantly TO
take nourishment. Physicians de
clare that, unless she shows marked
improvement, 1t will be i-npossibfe
for her TO live more than few weeks.
The sotry OF Mrs. Wardwell is one
of the most pathetic in the history IN
the county hospital During the lat
ter part of July IT was discovered that
about to be sent to Molokai, when,
with her husband, General David X.
wardweIl, she escaped to Tombstone,
Ariz-
General WardweH guarded his wife
constantly and refused TO believe that
she had leprosy. A month later he
died from a cancer and Mrs. Ward
well was sent back to Los Angeles in
care of an Arizona physician. "a
irving here she was placed in int
room she now occupies. For weeks
she refused to believe that her hus
band was dead and wrote pathetic
notes to him.
Gradually the truth dawned upon
her and since that time her mind has
become more and more weakened. Al
the present time she has few rational
moments.

Heney's Career.


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-Fran-
els ]. Heney has had a remarkable
career in Arizona, California and
Oregon. After leaving the University
of California he studied law, and later
worked as cowboy and miner in va
rious portions of the west. Finally
he went to Tucson, Arizona, where he
was noted for his fearless disposition.
He was the only lawyer IN Tucson who
dared to take the case of Mrs. Handy,
who was suing her husband, promin-
ent physician, Cor divorce.
DR.. Handy announced that he would
shoot on sight any attorney who took
the case. Heney became Mrs. Haady's
lawyer and was one day attacked by
Handy, Heney's superior in size and
strength. In the struggle that en-
sued Heney drew a pistol and shot
Handy dead. He was exonerated by
the coronor's jury. Later Heney re-
turned to San Francisco and prac-
ticed law.
While well known here because of
his aggressive methods, it was not
until he had been appointed special
prosecutor in the Oregon land fraud
cases that he became a national
character. After prosecuting these
cases, which resulted in the convic-
ton OF Senator Mitchell. Congress
man Williamson, and other promin-
ent men, Heney was called to San
Francisco to prosecute Mayor Eugene
Z. Schmitz. Abraham Ruef. and other
men charged with graft and bribery.
He was appointed assistant district
attorney by District Attorney Lang
don, and Immediately plunged into
the work of exposing bribery and cor
ruption that was said TO exist among
the city officials. Abraham Ruef was
at that time Mayor Schmitz's legal
adviser. and though holding no Politi-
