al onesome Jack" Says Side Windera
Would Exterminate Whole
Boche Army.

Los Angeles, Cal.-'Lonesome Jack"
Altman, king OF all rattlesnake CATCH
ers, offers to gather 10000 side winders
or hornet rattlesnakes If the govern
ment will let him, dump them into
trenches vacated to the Germans by
the Americans and let the snakes do
the rest. The side winder is a death
dealer extraordinary, strikes three
times as fast as any other RATHER, and,
unlike others, does not act on the heart
but paralyzes the nerves within 70
minutes.
Altman would have no trouble in
gathering them in Arizona and the I'M
perial valley, he says. The Germans
if they possessed such deadly Weap-
on would not hesitate to use it, Altman
believes.
"The beauty of my idea is that the
RATHER can live five or six months In
captivity without either food or water
and they will be just as effective dur
ing that time" says Altman. Il have
an antidote for rattlesnake bite that
could be supplied to anyone that nam
dies them, but the Germans would
not know what stung them.
"My idea would be to catch them
and then soak their tails in warm wa
ter. Then the shell that rattles and
gives warning could be removed with
out injury to the snake. Their fangsI
are so sharp that unless the warning is
given with the rattles a person would
hardly know what bit him. Side winds
ers range in size from four to twelve'

BURGLAR AT MT. STERLING;
TRAILED BY BLOODHOUNDS

Mt. Sterling. Ky. The hardware
firm of Chenault & o'Rear was robbed.
The thieves entered from an upstairs
window breaking open with an ak, the
wooden door on the stairs. Knives
and watches valued at three hundred
dollars were stolen. When the rob-
berry was discovered Chief Upton
wired for Captain V. D. Mullikin, who
came on the noon train with his blood
hounds. The dogs took the trail out
at the rear of the store leading to
point on the railroad near the Camar-
go pike where it was lost. 1t is be-
lieved that the thives boarded freight
at this point or had an automobile in
waiting.
