Suspects Arrested.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec. flames
White and John Wyman, two strang-
ers, are held here on suspicion of
having robbed the State Bank of Hol
combe last Wednesday morning. 1t is
probable that Wyman will be set free,
as there is very little evidence to hold
him. The detectives, however, believe
that they have sufficient evidence to
bind White over for trial.
Sheriff Smith has investigated the
bank robbery and finds that only one
man saw the robbers before they en-
tered the bank.

RAmIE CULTURE.
Expert Says Imperial Valley is Ideal
 for the Fiber Plant.

That ramie fiber, from which the Egyptians made their linen, and which is generally used in China and the Orient for the finest grade of goods at the present day, can be sue cessfully stripped by machinery, was demonstrated recently in Los An geles by C.. w Schlichten with a de- corticating machine in the presence of representatives of the Department of Agriculture, as well as of a number of men experienced in the handling of textile fabrics.
 Under favorable conditions ramie linen can be manufactured for less than flax, said Mr. Schlichten. Tt is far superior in every way and the only thing which has prevented it's general use has been the cost of pro- duction
 "We are in the market for every bit of ramie we can get For that reason I have-concluded to try and interest the people of Southern California ip raising it. Climatic conditions are ideal and, in the Imperial Valley for instance, man should get as many as eight crops year"
 Ramie requires about the same amount of water as does alfalfa. Once started it will care for itself and cul- tivation is unnecessary. Mr. Schlich- ten estimates that every acre of ground should yield not less than $75 year

BIT HIMSELF WITH A SNAKE.
Charmer Faust Performs That Feat of
 Folly With a sidewinder

The man who is bitten once by a snake may have a just grievance against the reptile. The man who is bitten twice in one day by the same snake must exonerate the rattler and mediate on his own qualifications for admission to an asylum for mental in- competents Mr. Faust candidly ad- mits that he is a good deal of a fool" and public opinion sustains him unanimously, for if ever a man "bit himself with @ snake, Faust achieved that feat of folly.
 Faust came to El Centro recently from Los Angeles, and has been camp ing east of the railroad track. Last l tuesday he found a sidewinder, or horned rattlesnake, in his bed, and to the alarm of his companions he pro- ceeded to fondle the reptile and play snake charmer. He placed the snake in his bosom, between his shirts, and came up town to show off before the crowd.
 he show was attractive to persons on the street, and Faust soon had a gaping audience. The snake went exploring, crawled up the mans back and poked his head above the shirt collar Faust put his hand back to keep the snake down, and was struck on a finger. He went to Dr. McCombs office and had the wound treated, and then returned and resumed his exhibi- tion of amateur snake charming The sidewinder struck him again on the
