Miller. $. D.. Nov. 4.--Facts not given
in history regarding the capture of jeff
Davis are frequently told here by A.
Sebring, pioneer citizen. who was one
of the 300 soldiers detailed to capture
the fleeing confederate president at the
close of the civil war. Mr.. Sebring has
at his home here the cloak worn by Da-
Wis in his flight. which the Miller vet
eran took from the tent the day Of the
capture. Coiored servants and others of
the captured cOnfederates identified it to
Mr.. Sebring at the time. The garment
has been exhibited here at soldiers gath
'erings, but not since someone cut piece
from it to keep as a relic of the southern
president.
It is to Mr. sebring that the credit
Of locating Davis fleeing camp of five
wagons belongs The 800 pursuers
stopped at a farmhouse at Ionesville
Ca. for something to eat Sebring start
ed for the smokehouse to get ham when
the woman Of the house came out and
ordered him 10 pass on. He insisted on
taking the ham and the woman called
to camp Of confederates Il little way
off to protect her place. She did not
know that the camp was that of Jeff
Days and his company.

CAP A. COLD FOR Csc
AFFECTION IN SNAKE

Consider now the snake, hated of
mankind, and yet proved by Colorado
professor to be possessed of affection
surprising that of the house cat or
the pet dog. Here is the proposition:
A professor at Greeley, making a scien-
tific study of snakes, always had sew
eral reptiles, of varying species, about
his house. In the summer he turned
them out, to live as they would, but
in the winter he gathered them in and
housed and fed and warmed them I'M
til spring. The rattlers he rendered
harmless by removing their poison
sacs and fangs, but this dental work
aroused not the slightest of ill feel
ing on the part of any diamondback.
On the contrary the rattlers were al
ways vagabondage, to revel in steam
heat and all the other comforts of a
modern home.
But the professor has been called to
another institution. He turned his
snakes out, thinking that they would
go back to the wilds again when they
found that he was not there to well
come then in the fall But evidently
he knew not the way of serpent on
the front door step. Today there are
disconnected snakes of every kind, in
GLIDING the "dehorned" rattlers, wand
ering around the house once occupied
by the professor. They are waiting to
be taken in and warmed at the furnace
when the first fires of fall are lighted
But more than all else, they show that
they are waiting for the sound of a
voice that is lost and a hand that will
carcss them no more There is de.
lection in their attitude, as they hear
only strange footsteps on the walks.
Either the professor should come
back to Greeley to live or take his af
fectionate snakes with him. Then de
votion will receive its just reward
and besides, the house can be rented.-
