Drumming Of the Snipe

One of the most remarkable of bird
sounds is the so-called drumming n,
the snipe. The noise is difficult IN do
scribe and is often compared to bIea,
ing. The snipe. in fact. has been
called the bleater. Tennyson usod
the word hum. speaking of "The
swamp where huns the snipe."
1t is now generally agreed that the
noise is made by the vibration of the
tail feathers. A writer, however,
carefully watching the snipe during
its flights in which 1t makes this re,
markable noise is convinced that the
wings assist in its production. This
seems exceedingly probable, since the
wings are seen to be in actual yibra.

Billy Stiles is dead; shot down
like dog for some wrong, either
real or fancied. While living in
Arizona, Stiles betrayed his
friends, robbed right and left,
stole and committed murder, and
made for himself a reputation
that any outlaw might well be
proud. He was the Ismal of the
South-w est. His hand was
against every man and every
mans hand against him. AS he
lived he died, with none to mourn
his loss and no one to envy him
his fame; the day of the outlaw
is passed, and forever.

The chief deputy walked up to the table and informed the couple that he would not require them to at- tend court if they would give him the iiquor which they acquiesced in.
 Then the steward of the place was puea Ghdeto bona A6hd sthe, waiter who served the couple.
 As the officers wont into the kitchen is is stated they found a policeman and he had just been asked to come in. and get get something" Whether this something was food or drink Is not stated by the deputies.
 The sherifs office Is quite active in getting at violations of the prohibition law and the statement is made that when the grand jury reconvenes there will be considerable testimony In re- gard to the prohibition law ready to be submitted.
