RATTLE SNAKE IS DRIVEN BEFORE

 C. Benjamin Hays, operating the Last Chance mine near Walker, re- cited an incident to a number of friends in the city yesterday, which puts in the shade Bret Hartc's ia nous poem of "Crotallus, or the Rattlesnake Bar of the Sierra's" Here is what Hays doped out:
 'I was making observations of the face of the tunnel after a shot had been fired, and before going out sat down to smoke and think it over. Was about 100 feet from the mouth and in looking out saw something unusual. It was my big Mexican fox hound acting queerly and in ad- vancing toward him at the same time throwing my flashlight saw crawling toward me a black diamond rattle snake"
 The dog was dancing first to one side and then 10 the other of the tunnel and yelping viciously as il asking for help. The big snake was moving on toward me at quite q swift pace, and it is my belief that the nearer it got all the moro al armed was that canine for fear that it would reach me. l also believe the doy desired me to kill the snake, and adopted the best tactics he knew, his bearking so loud being the sig nal that the reptile and he were on the road"
 "I picked up a muck spoon and hit ting the rattlcr on the head killed it instantly. My dog then jumped on me and such a demonstration e affection, if not satisfaction, never before was shown. The queer part ftnis incident is where did the dog roundup the rattler? How did he herd it to the tunnel mouth and drive it in2 The snake measured four and one-half feet long, but most of the rattics were worn off, only eight imperfect ones remain ing"

ALLEGED GRAFT ID BE $1O,OOO
 MONTHLY

PHOENIX, May 15.-Tnvestiga- ton of the alleged conspiracy to de- fraud the government of a large sum of money which resulted in the arrest of A. J. Peters, Tempe hay dealer, and J. N. Jaggers, federal hay inspec- tor residing in Mesa, conducted by the local officials of the department of justice has brought to light cer- tain interesting facts.
 Records now in the possession of the department show that Peters shipped from $500 to 7500 tons of hay per month. to army camps and environments all over the southwest. The price obtained for this hay ap- pears to have been generally about $2 per ton more than the price ob- tained for the sane nay when sold to other parties than the government.
 The complaint against Peters and Jaggers charges them with falsifying the grade of hay, marking it one or two grades higher than it actually was, and thus obtaining from 8 to $4 per ton more than the hay would nave brought if marked with its true value.
 It is alleged that upwards of so per cent of all the hay shipped by Petters was thus fraudulently grad ed, and that this was done by Jag gers as federal hay inspector. This means, it is charged, that around $l0,000 per month was made clear through falsifying the grade of the hay shipped.
