Owner of Lost Snake
Heard From

Monday the owner of the big snake
found in the loft of the Ginocchio ware
house last Friday, no doubt being inform
ed through the press dispatch to the city
papers of its discovery, sent a message
to the effect that he would pay a reward
of SIS to its captor, on condition that it
be boxed up and sent to him by express
at his expense. Mark Tibbits, who
claims the reptile by virtue of its capture,
declined this generous offer. Big
snakes do not stand very high in the
market at this rate. The reptile : is
called rock python, and is said to be a
native of India. 1t escaped from the
menagere that was around here about
two months ago. The snake was sick
at that time, and was placed in box
out in the sun to liven it up. II
crawled out of the box, and got into the
warehouse, and is supposed to have
lived on rats during its Imprisonment
there. The owners of the outfit knew
of its escape before they left here, one
of them having lbeen noticed the night
before leaving looking around with a
lantern in quest of something. Not a
word was dropped as to the escape of the
snake, on the ground probably that il
would tend to create alarm. Tibbits,
who has charge of it, was disposed to
exhibit it, but this was not tolerated by
the officials 1t was kept in the show
window of Tam's store for some days.
Tibbits, unless other inducements offer,
expects to take it to the city next in the
hope Of getting a bigger price for it.

INTEREST INLVE
STOCK SITUATION
Question of Beef Shortage to
Be Taken Up by National
Association.

Considerable interest has recently de-
veloped in the livestock industry in the
west, and the national stock show and
meetings of the American National
Livestock association and National Beef
Producers association in Denver dur
ing the week Of January 8-15, is attract
ing considerable interest all over the
country, as it will be the first oppOr-
tunity the stock interests have had TO
get together and compare notes since
the present situation developed. It is
claimed that there is a distinct scarcity
Of cattle in the country, and that prices
are certain to be high for some years to
come. Conditions are such that any in
crease in the supply must be developed
in the west, as that section has the only
cheap pasture lands left. In the corn
states of the middle west high prices
for wheat and corn have encouraged the
breaking up of paCtUre lands and plant
ing grain crops. This has very greatly
diminished the production of cattle in
that section. In the west there has been
a tremendous influx of settlers who
have practically driven the range cat
tlemen out Of business, and the new
settlers have as yet failed to take up
the cattle production business to any
extent. The situation is to be discussed
very carefully at the Denver meetings,
and it is expected that plans will be
made for increasing the production, both
by educational work among the new
farmers in the west and by arranging
some method for financing those farm
ers who are unable, because Of q lack
Of money, TO engage in the business
| While the west is interested in this mat
| ter, it is expected that the attendance
at the Denver meeting will be quite
/ large from all sections Of the country
rs stockmen are all anxious to get z
line on the situation.
/ The national stock show in Denver has
/ grown at a wonderful rate in the past
/ FIVE years. and is now said to be second
/ only to the international show at Chi
] cago. II will distribute about $4,000 in
! premiums at the coming show. Tn,
| railroads have made reduced rates from
! all parts Of the country, and every
! stockman who can raise the price vii
make an effort to be present at tho
meeting.

PANAMA BONDS NOT
VERY ATTRACTIVE
Secretary MaCVeagh'S Plan
for Making Them More Pop
ular With Bankers.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Ostensibly for
the purpose Of strengthening the price
OF the Panama per cent bonds, which
for some time have been lowering
around par, Secretary MacVeagh today
issued an order eliminating state, city
and railroad bonds from the list Of Sc
curities which may be accepted for the
deposits of public moneys in national
bank repositories
There. are now held by the govern
ment S10,O21 500 of these classes Of
bonds as security for such deposits,
and the expectation of the treasury o 70
cials is that they will be promptly re-
placed by other bonds, as it is not the
intention of the treasury to reduce the
amount OF money in national bank de-
positaries.
The theory IS that by this change the
Panama bonds Will be more attractive
10 banks as investments. and that they
in turn win find their way into the
treasury as security for deposits.
Secretary MacVeagh's action was
taken in accordance with an act Of con-
gress which requires him on or before
January 1 Of each year to make pub
lie statement OF the securities required
during the year for government depOs-
its in the national banks.
Secretary MacVeagh directs that
when further public deposits are made
with hanks, the following named and
no others viii be accepted as security
for such deposits;
United States, Philippine, Porto Ri
can and District of Columbia bonds at
par; bonds OF Hawaiian territory at 80
per cent Of par; bonds Of the Philippine
Railway company at 80 per cent Of mar
ket value, but not exceeding 80 per gent
OF par.
No additional deposits are, however,
now In contemplation.
All banks holding deposits of public
funds secured by bonds other than
those above named as acceptable VIII
be required TO withdraw such bonds on
or before February 1, 1910 and substi-
tute therefor bonds described above.

NOT HIS FIRST 0FFENSE.
Denver Bank swindler Said to Be
Former Convict.

Denver. Dec. IS.-That Moore Plant, one
of the young men arrested here in an
attempt TO sWindle the First National
bank by means of kilograms and forged
checks, is a former convict is the asser-
ton Of Denver police. That he IS inno-
cent of any intended crime, and that his
father, in Utica, n. Y, will come TO his
rescue is the plea Of Plant, who says he
was pressed for money TO prepare for his
wedding
In either event, the young mans pre-
dicament is a sad blow 10 citizens Of Sha-
ron Springs, Kan, where, it was proved
today. the young man had lived for two
or three years and worked so faithfully
that he won a good reputation.
Plant says he was TO have married q
sister Of Clarence Cochrane, who came
here with Plant from Sharon Springs and
was detained with him at first, but after
ward released. Plant insisted today that
money was coming TO him from his ia
Their and that he had not meant to swim
die the bank. Local police, however, as
sert he is in reality George Steddard,
who was arrested in Denver three years
ago as a hotel thief and convicted.
