gather eggs, she found comfortably
coiled in the nest large bull snake
The reptile measured three and half
feet in length. Mrs. Award killed The
snake without hesitancy, but the de
velopment caused considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood. 1t is rare
~ that snakes have been found in

While riding horseback on the road
just north of the Fruitland high school
building in Fruitland Saturday after
noon, Fred Eldredge came very near
being killed when the wind blew Down
two electric light poles and two join
ing wires caught around his neck
Realizing his danger, he quickly spur
red his horse, freeing himself from
the live wires. AS the animal jumped
the wires about his neck almost pulled
him from the horse, but his spur
caught in the saddle and he released
himself from the wires before falling
to the ground. Conscious but unable
to move a muscle, Mr.. Eldredge was
taken to the office of DR.. Wright,
where the wound was dressed. The
narrow escape from death was real
lied when it was found that his neck
was burned almost to the jugular vein.
The same evening he was taken to
Ontario, where he was again examined |
and placed under expert care. AT pre-
sent he is doing nicely and will prob
ably recover without any bad effects
except the slight disablement of his
arm. He is the son of the A. B.
formerly heavy land own
n at Fruitland. The horse which he
vas riding was severely burned in
everal places about the back but will
ecover. The accident occurred about
80 o'clock in the afternoon during
he terrible wind storm as he was re-
urning from the pasture where he
ad gotten the horse.

During the past month or six weeks
the hog raisers of the southern por-

over the prospect Of hog cholera. In
the Boise and Payette valleys there

that there was no longer danger of
the spread Of the infection.

The state treasurer for several
months has been endeavoring to keep
the state money on deposit in the
various depository banks of the state,
nearly as possible on an absolute
equality, so far as the percentage of
deposits of state money in comparison
with the amount of bonds deposited
with the treasury. Since about the
first of March of this year, the funds
so deposited have been So per cent Of
the total that it would be permissible
under the bonds provided. The banks
in Boise have not been treated so well.
1t is on these banks that the treasurer
draws from day to day in payments
of warrants as they are presented.
So that the local bank with large
deposit of state money one day may
find itself with much of these funds
drawn out the next.

and the firing over the greater dis
tances Will be at slow time, prone po-
sition. This schedule will permit 4

the members of the local club.
New Targets Used.
This will be the first time that the
shoot will be directed at the new tar

an enthusiastic member.
