the white desperate who observed
his last Sabbath day by the murder

after o'clock A. NJ.

of the military which began an at
tack after 4.30 o'clock A. NJ Almost
at the same moment Sheriff j. p.
McInnes, of Irwin County, who was
wounded while making a desperate
attempt to remove a wounded fellow
officer from the range of Bostwick's S
deadly fire, expired. James Gill, an
other officer, was added to the list
of wounded during the early morn
ing fusillade. but it is believed he
will recover.
Surrounded by his six little chill
dren, whom he held prisoners almost
to the end of the siege. Bostwick,
WHO had declared intention of dy-
ing rather than submit to arrest on
the charge of attempting to- murder
his brother-in-law, fought the bat
tie to the last ditch. Knowing that
death was near, the desperate man
finally allowed the children to leave
the house, but they would not reveal
one incident of the fight to the mill
ary officers.

Can Rattlers Climb Trees.

Suh hdttitTs OilfnD lEttSs
Part of Columbia County says a
rattlesnake can climb a tree. An
other part of the same division OF
this sovereign Commonwealth says
the rattler can do nothing of the
kind. State Economic Zoologist Sur
face, usually the court of last resort
in such questions, is playing safe and
not taking sides. He inclines to the
opinion, however, that the rattler
can't get into tree unless the trunk
is at an angle of less than forty-five
degrees. Plenty of scientific data is
at hand to show that the blacksnake
and the greensnake can and do climb
vertical trees and that the water
snake can get into bushes that are
not too high. Surface says, too, that
there is not the slightest doubt that
the "horntailed snake" can climb
tree. The blacksnake and other tree
climbing serpents are able to do
so because of their long and slender
bodies and constructor characteristics.
The rattler is short and thick.
