Chicken Apparently
 Charmed By Snake

The Phoenix Republican has the following charmed" story:
 "The entire household Of the w A Burton family vas thrown into con sternstion about noon yesterday by the discovery of large blow snake in the act of carrying two months old chicken under the house having first coiled itself around the body ol the fowl in such a manner ss U hold 1t securely, The coil was near the head and the head and chicken had both passed nnder the hOuse when MT Bur ton arrived on the scene. Grabbing the snake by the tail he added s second coil wrapping the snake around his hand and pulling the reptile as well as its victim out from under the house. The chicken was released but not until after cons nsiderable percussion, However, just how g snake could coil itself around au active two months old chicken is unexplainable unless the fowl was charmed before the coil wac made. There are number of people n the valley who have seen the pitiiul sight of ground squirrel un- der the influence Of 6 snake, wherein the squirrel seemed totally incapable oi moving 8 muscle until the snake had coiled itself entirely around its body when its awakening was of no avail.

 To the Poor House

The Dispatch says:
 A fsmiliar figure ~ill be missing from Douglas today and an old man will take up his residence at the county poor farm.
 Among the derelicts iu the Tomb stone institution, if he tells his story, this old mans claim to having once been numbered with the: wealthy men Of the southwest, will be received in the vsgary of buman fla lure.
 His appearance e not indicate what he once was.
 Yet ,old"Dsddy Davis, hs he has been known among his cronies in Douglas, has been the possessor of more than one fortune, wrung by hard work from the unwilling hills. At least four times he wrested from Arizona mines enough to keep him in comparative luxury to the end of his days. The last fortune was taken from properties in ! the Chlrica huas,
 Ills story is that of hundreds of the old-time prospectors of the west. They ! could not all achieve the fame of ThOs. F. Walsh or Stratton. They could not all go the way Of old Bob Wo- mack, whose COW pasture became Cripple Greek Son of them remain eking out a precarious livelihood in the hills of Colorado. Arizona and other states. Hundreds of them never got farther along than the continual hope that they would some day rike | it rich. Hundreds struck it and, win ming. lost This was the story of O. c. Davis
 Daddy" possessed conviyial d g position. When he found gold. ht spent it. There was plenty more 1T the hills More than one old-timt camp oi Arizona remembers the day, when Daddy" used to cone in witt we.lth sufficient to put him in the "piute" class. The camp would bt lively in those d,ys. It is sad thai once he enjoyed two weeks in TucsOr and at the close of the celebration drew a check for s7 300 10 iiquidatr the obiigat!ons incurred through Ii bAtions.
 Back to the mines was his cours, after distributing bis wealth. ALC the hills dealt kindly with him.
 At last there came A day when th, hills held nothing mere for him. In call of the cup hsrked louder than th' call Of the hIlIs. When the mcne, went, the friends went also.
