administrator of the estate Of his wife,

The checks were signed by Gottheilf and
made payable to Mrs. Bowman. The first

Besides these checks, there Is one given
by Gottheilf to Mrs. Bowman for $500, bear

Of waiting 1900 years for presentation.
Another check that is involved was given
by Gottheilf and his wife TO Mrs. Bowman
for $500.
Gottheilf. who is proprietor OF a cloak

he paid Mrs. Bowman the money they rep

RUSHING THE CAN CUT OUT
steel Mill Employees Put on the
Water Wa6on During Work
Hours.

The United States steel corporation has
taken q determined stand against its
drinking liquor. Within the last
week there have been posted in all the
big mills OF the Pittsburg and Ohio dis
trlots notices that workmen once entering
the mills to work will not be allowed TO
leave until they are through their days
work. There is no reference to booze"
but the managers and superintendent
speak their minds plainly.
The corporation has found that much
time has been lost daily by the work
men leaving for a few minutes to ~go
out and get q drink. perhaps several
times a day. In addition to this, those
In direct charge Of the men say they
do not do as good work when they are
allowed to I'LL themselves with drink, and
SO the order Is imperative.
The order permits of but one class OF
men leaving the mill. Those who live
near the works and who have been in
the habit Of going home for their meals
will be permitted to continue this, but
they will be allowed to go only at meal
time, when they will hsve special per-
pits Issued to pass guards posted at all
tho exits. Quietly, too, the men Wit
take their meals at home have beer
approached and asked not to a 9
drink while they are out for their meals
The corporation appears to want to
run the mills hereafter on q strictly
temperance basis. Numerous instances
Of spoiled work In the last few years
have been traced to workmen who ave
been in the habit Of going outside for
their drinks at any time they feel like
It. Until now neither corporation mol
mill bosses have objected.
Many men have been discharged in the
last week on being found carrying liauoT

puzzled the scientists not a little. The
arbitrary establishment Of symbols seems
never to have contemplated any sort of
universal color Specification. Red In many
tribes denotes life, man., bravery, the male
child. Yellow Indicates the sun, green the
verdant earth, white the arid plains. The
Pawnee medicine man wore black moo

the idea of the coating OF the buffalo's

For depicting the human eye upon his

RECOVERED FROM SNAKE BITE.
How Ranchman Treated Wound When
Far from a Settlement.

Bitten by rattlesnake in the calf of
the rlght leg in the Santa Ana noun
talns last Saturday, John Mccormick, a
rancfer of Grapeland, saved his life
Dy' making an incision with his pocket
knife and inserting a piece Of the
reptiles flesh in the wound. He
pandaged it tightly and walked seven
hours before he reached his ranch.
"here he could receive medical treat
ment. Dr. Summer j. Quint was called
from Los Angeles to attend Mccormick.
When he arrived he found that his pa
tent was suffering from slight
poisoning. He declares that McCnrl
nick saved his life by his own treat
ment.
Mccormick was hunting through
scrub oak when he felt peculiar sting
In his leg. He looked down and saw
the snake dragging on the ground as
he walked. Its fangs had become
fastened In his leggings and it was un-
able to withdraw them.
With the butt of his gun Mccormick
knocked the snake off and then crushed
Its head with his heel AS quickly as
possible he ran into the open and car
ried the snake with him. When he
barred his leg he squeezed all the blood
he could out of the two punctures
which the fangs had made. Then he
opened cash, cutting through the two
wounds and letting out the blood and
poison. He cut piece of flesh out
OF the wound. Mccormick used his
handkerchief for bandages and then
tied his leg again just above the knee
to stop the poison from working
through his system
Mccormick was miles from any settle
ment where he could secure medical
attention, 80 he started back to Grape
land. His leg pulsated with pain and
ne soon became deathly sick. In his
weakened condition he was compelled
to rest on the road time and again.
When he finally reached home he was
almost exhausted and his leg was
dreadfully swollen and almost black.
Mccormick says that his treatment
was famous among the Indians for
snake bites and he has known Of q
number Of instances where its applica-
ton has saved lives.-Los Angeles
