Abolish Land Purchase Bonds.

Denver.-What is considered by
Register Hoggatt to be one of the
most important acts OF the state land
board since his tenure of office was

SNAKE OF MOST
VENOMOUS kind
Is Placed In Zoo At Lon
don

London, Jan. IA new resident
has arrived at the zoo. He is a snake
of the most venomous kind and goes
by the name of Bushmaster.
He has a big, ugly head and beau
tiful body, but at the present he is
very sleepy, because he wants to
change his skin. This is not the
first specimen of the kind that has
been in Regents park, but the new
arrival is the finest that has ever come
to this country. He has not shown
his peculiar temper as yet, but the
keepers are dealing with him very
warily, for he has an exceedingly bad
character.
His birthplace was Trinidad, in the
West Indies, and he is supposed to BE
one of the understanding of all
snakes, as well as the worst-tempereG
Lachesis, for that is his scientific
name, lives n swamps, plantations
and forests, both on plains and on
hill and his females are ridiculously
prolific. The young are produced doz-
ems at time.
They are ten inches long at birth
and are brought into the world in al
state of viciousness equal to that of
their parents.

VETERAN JEALOUS OF
A YOUNGER RIVAL
Copeland Indicted on Charge of MUIR
dering Boy.

Atlanta, Jan. 15.-All the elements
of a Sherlock Holmes mystery sur
rounds the case of ]. A. Copeland,
the aged Confederate veteran, who was
indicted this morning by the grand
jury for the murder of Roy Clark, a
19-year-old boy.
The boy was found shot to death on
November 18th at a boarding house
conducted by Copeland at 1913 White
hall Copeland admitted that he kill
ed the boy, but declared that he had
mistaken him for burglar.
Police investigation, however, show
ed that Clark was a frequent visitor
at the house and was well known to
Copeland. Clarke went there, it is
said, to call on young woman, Miss
Cloretta Webb, to whom he had been
showing attentions.
1t subsequently developed that the
aged veteran himself had an attach
ment of the heart for the young woman
who is pretty, and that he fancied she
had grown cold toward him since the
younger man began to pay her atten-
ton.
These alleged facts resulted in
bringing to bear the suspicion which
put Copeland behind the bars. The
young woman will probably be the
star witness when the case comes to
trial.
