FRANK N. PFART UNMOyFD
AS He HEARS DEATH SENTENCE
Jury Fixes Degree on First BlIOtTwu Required to Determine
Punishment will Be Sentenced December s

O'Clock this morning Judge Orr fixed
the day of passing sentence for De-
cember 6. Attorney McCarron gave
notice that he should make molten
for new trial before sentence was
pronounced and expressed doubts as to
his ability to be present in court on
that day, owing to professional duties
at Goldfeld. 1t was then understood
that if he was unable to be here on
that day, sentence would be deferred.
1t is understood that on the first
ballot the jury voted unanimously for
murder in the first degree. On the
second ballot, taken to fix the punish
ment, two or three are said to have
voted for life imprisonment. After
going to supper and considering the
evidence, third ballot was taken,
which fixed the punishment at death.
The crime for which Frank M.
Peart is to die was the killing of
yuma on the 18th day of last May.
At the trial just concluded defendant
was accompanied by his wife and in
fant child, born since his incarcera-
tion, and his mother. On their account
considerable sympathy wass. expressed
for the prisoner, but it evidently had
little weight with the jury.

SNAKE FARM where
REPTILES ARE "MILKED'
OF Their venom

In the mountains of Arizona,
Colorado and Arkansas are men
who make living catching
snakes and extracting the oil from
their bodies, which is sold for
medicine. 1t is supposed to be a
sovereign remedy for rheumatism.
But nowhere in the West are there
any snake farms that approach in
size the ones that are in Aus
tralia.
Snake farming is not an attrac-
tive occupation but it has more
than one votary in the Australian
commonwealth, and in the neigh
borhood of Sydney the industry
has been carried on for several
years by an individual who, while
disclaiming all knowledge of the
snake-charluing art, appears to
have an extensive knowledge of
the reptiles and their ways.
In addition to the snakes.
large numbers of frogs, and even
toads, are carefully reared, part
ly as food for the reptiles and
partly for scientific purposes.
The snakes are caught in the
bush, work frequently necessi-
tating many miles of wandering
and long hours of patient watch
ing, for the snake Is a suspicious
creature, generally more alarmed
at the sight of a man than the
man at 1t. The snake hunter en-
ploys couple of forked sticks as
a means of capture. With one
the reptile is pinned by any part
OF its body to the ground, after
which it is fixed by the neck with
the other. This done, the captor,
with finger and thumb, grasps the
head at the side of the jaws, and
thus has the reptile safe and
harmless. The snake is thus
dropped, tail first, into sugar
bag. All that is really necessary
is a steady nerve. a straight eye
and firm hand.
A recent visitor was Shown

and diamond species, intended for

This Is described as a most inter-
esting performance. f&4
Before milking time che
snakes are well fed, afterward be-
coming excited when a glass,
similar to watch glass, cover
ed with the finest gutta percha,
Is put into the cage. The fnflat-
ed reptiles bite viciously through
the gutta percha, leaving tiny
drops of poison ON the prepared
glass.
This milking is Invariably
performed during the summer
months, when the creatures are
most active and fierce. and the
poison most virulent. Numerous

worn out are returned to the
snake farm to recuperate. After
the snakes have become useless
for milking" purposes they are
sold to taxidermists or the Sgd
ney Geological Gardens.
There is always a good market
for new or rare specimens, as
much as $40 being paid for a sin
gle snake. Several hundred
snakes have been collected at one
time on the farm, where they are
kept in bags or boxes, the latter
being covered at the top with
small-mesh wire netting. At the
bottom of each receptacle is lit
tie bran of straw, and occasional
ly a few old rags.
When the snake farmer began
to keep the reptile he found him
self periodically attacked by a

hay fever, which he subsequently
discovered to be due to a poison
exuded from the bodies of the
snakes.
In one respect the creatures re-
semble human kind-they are
great sticklers for caste. "The
black snake is considered the gen.
tleman of the snake fraternity
and lives much alone, seldom as
sociating with other members OF
the tribe. The carpet snake is
the loafer of the reptile world,

JAIL BREAKS STUBBORN
WILL OF f. D. BARTLETT
Denver & Rio Grande Engineer Now
Promises to Pay Alimony and
Is Released.

Edward d. Bartlett, an engineer on
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, has
learned a lesson. He is now out of the
county Jail, after incarceration since
July 80 last. Last June he was ordered
to pay Mrs. Mary Z. Bartlett $3.50 a
week alimOny. After a time the engi-
neer stopped payments. When cited
into court he told Judge NJ. L. Richie
ne was tired of handing out money, and
she would get no more.
Il viii go to Jail and rot there before
1 will pay any more alimony," Bartlett
declared, when Judge Richie found
him in contempt of court on July 80 and
ordered him sent to jail.
Bartlett had a stubborn will and
stuck to his resolution more than a
month. Oct. he told Judge Richie he
had enough of Jail life, but refused to
make any definite promises. So back
he went to Jail.
Yesterday Bartlett was again before
Judge Richie A few days ago he re-
ceived $50 from his mother and he paid
S25 TO the court for his wife, and prom
ised to pay the rest as soon as able. He
was really penitent and contrite, so
Judge Morse ordered him released.
