OIL PRICE UP
Kerosene Advanced Half Cent on Gal.
lOn-Crude Supply is Short

kerosene Advanced Half Cent on Gal
Bismarck, May 20.-Beginning to-
day kerosene oil will advance one-half
cent per gallon all over the territory
OF North Dakota and Minnesota.
The cause of this said a repre-
sentative of the Standard Oil company
lies in the fact that the production
OF crude oil from which the finished
Kerosene oil is produced. is short. The
has been growing shorter
and shorter all the time and the
Standard has come to the conclusion
that on this account and on account
of the raise in price of the crude arti-
Gle the one-half cent raise in the
price is justified. 1t is hoped that
before long the production will be in
cheaper" w

BULL SNAKE STOLE
POOR BABY'S MILK
Prize Snake Story of Season Comes
From Topock-Baby's Mother is
Now Sick in Hospital at Needles
From Bite of Reptile.

From Topock, at the east end of
of the most remarkable snake stories
that we have ever heard. The story
is vouched for by James w. Quinn,
and as the victim of the snake is i'm
the hospital at Needles suffering
from a bite of the snake and fright,
there is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Quinn is telling the exact truth.
Recently there was born to a Mex
ican family at Topock a baby girl,
says the Mohave County Miner. The
child thrived nicely until about three
weeks ago, when it commenced 10
fade away. The mother was unable
to account for the condition of the
child and was greatly worried. Last
Sunday night she was awakened by
sharp pain in her breast and a
light being struck it was found that
a great bull snake was sucking her
and when she accidentally rolled over
ON it the reptile bit her. Greatly
frightened over the bite of the snake
she was hurried to Needles, where
the physician found that the bite
was not serious An examination Of
the child disclosed the fact that it
was in a starving condition. The
snake evidently had secured all the
womanS milk during many nights
before it's discovery. The Mexican
track workers live in tie houses and
sleep on pallets ON the floor. 1t is
reported by the track foreman at To-
pock that the snakes are so plenti-
full that it is impossible to keep them
out of the houses and has asked the
company to be allowed to build
floors and screen the places so that
the people may be protected against
The reptiles. 1t is thought that the
snake had been in the habit Of
crawling under the covers of the
woman's bed to get out of the chill
of the might and had been attracted
by the smell of the milk while the
child was nursing. That such al thing
could really occur passes belief, but
nevertheless the woman and child
are at the hospital, where amy one
who doubts the STORY may interview
the mother
