A Waterford dispatch to the Daily
Express says the irregulars have
burned the barracks at Clonmei and
Tipperary which had long been held
as garrisons and il is believed the ma

these places. This, however, is not
claimed in any official report.
The Express correspondent says ii
is believed the pressure being exerted
by the national troops upon both
flanks of the Republicans will conf
pei them to make stand, perhaps
their last, in these mountains.

months.
Walsh was known for his daring
and gameness when in tight place.
The latter charact ristic was further
evidenced by his refusal of medical
treatment. possibly for fear he would
have to inform on his comrades.

RATHER KILLED
BY RAT IN FIGHT
While Farmers Look On,
Victor Freed.

Johnson. farmer, living south of
Clyde, caught a rattlesnao. and
housed II in a box. He had planned
TO bring the snake TO Rochester and
turn It over to Pete Gruber. better
known as "Rattlesnake Pete"
A rat OF enormous size ventured
into one of Johnson's steel traps.
The rodent was so large that he could
not enter the trap. The springs held
him by his front legs.
Rat Fights Snake.
Astonished at the size of the rat,
Farmer Johnson thought little
sport would be appreciated. Invit-
ing several farmer friends, Johnson
managed to drop the rat into a po-
tato pit and then shook the box hold
ing the rattler over It. The snake
soon fell into the pit and coiled up in
a corner II was expected that the
snake would make short work of the
rat.
For a few minutes nothing hap
pened, both snake and rat taking OPP
posite corners and cycling each other
very carefully. Suddenly the snake
began an attack. With lightning
swiftness 1t shot out its head, caught
the rat unaware and sank its fangs
in the animals nose. The rat squealed
with pain and rage and actually tore
itself loose in a desperate struggle in
which both rat and RATHER rolled over
the floor of the pit.
Rodent Chokes Reptile.
Next the rat sprang at the snake.
As the snake squ:rmed the rat
leaped into the air and caught the
snake back of its head, tearing the
flesh and inflicting a deep wound
with its teeth. The energy of the
rats attack apparently puzzled the
snake, which was bitten time and
again. Finally the rat secured
firm hold on the snake directly under
its head and hung on until the SER
pent was fairly choked to death.
The farmers covered the pit with
cordwood and left rat and dead snake
overnight. The rat was found to be
alive and active in the morning.
Much surprise was expressed that the
rat was alive. as it was believed the
snakes poison would have ended the
rats life in the night. Johnson de-
cided that the rat had earned a right
to live. Accordingly the rodent was
enticed into box containing guam
tity of dry bread and cheese. From
the farm it was carried to the Monte
yuma swamp. a mile away, and given
its liberty.

FIRST HUNGARIAN PARTRiDGEs
IMPoRTED SINCE BEFORE WAR

Importations of Hungarian part
ridges have been resumed this spring
for the first time since before the
World War, reports the Biological
Survey of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Two shipments
have entered at the port of New York
one Of more than 1000 birds for
the game commission of Montana
and the other, Of 200 birds, for New
York. Recent reports show that the
Hungarian partridge has become well
established in certain parts OF the
Northwest, and that 1t is fairly abun-
dant in several counties in eastern
Washington. For several years prior
to the war large numbers OF THESE
birds were imported, but later the
shipments diminished on account OF
high prices and the lack OF success
in establishing the birds in many
places where they were liberated.

AMERICAN TOURISTS
VICTIMS OF ROCUES
u. y. Produces Majority ~ "Suckers''
Is Statement Of Scot
land Yard.

London, July 22.-"Every day a
Sucker" is born, and the majority Of
them are raised in the United States, ;
declares Scotland Yard.
Their opinion is based on the fact
that every day and almost all day
they are deluged with complaints by
Americans of swindling by rogues,
tricksters and confidence men, with
all their old time-honored hoary for
mulae.
Here is one OF the latest instances.
Two Americans entered into CONVEX
sation with another tourist at St.
Paul's Cathedral. and SOMEHOW the
same tourist met them coming out
Of their hotel next morning and sug-
gested that they should go with him
to get tickets to view the mint and
come and see II. One OF them went
to the British Museum, and the 9TH
er went with the tourist.

II was the old trick. A stranger"
in front Of them dropped bulky en-
velope. The American picked II up.

he would receive $500 for his trou-

Thereupon the American drew ST.

that he was a man Of substance. Thy
then went to a hotel and had some
drinks. And then each in turn show
ed his trust by giving valuables TO the
original distributor, who went out for
ten minutes.
In the Americans case the origi-
nal trickster found an excuse 10 20

same trick took $500 away from him.
Las, we another American Wis
ftor was swlndled by the same ancient
story OF $500 and diamond ring.
The biggest coup OF this season
was when the confidence men re-
Hsved an American OF $4,000 in less
than an hour. As II happened, the
police could have secured the thieves
II only the victim had remained TO
give evidence against them. But he
was in a hurry to return home and

INDUSTRY BUILDS
NEW VALLEY TOWN

The San Diego Tribune has the fol
lowing story with reference to the
growing importance of an Imperial
Valley enterprise, the Imperial Gyp-
sum Co.:
A small industrial town is springing
up on the San Diego & Arizona rail-
way four miles west Of DiXieland. 1t IS
buildings are the mill, worllmcn 3
homes, and yards Of the Imperial Gyp-
sum Co., and the name of Dunaway
has been given it in honor of $. w
Dunaway, general manager of the com
pany.
1t is at this point on the San
Diego & Arizona railway that the I'm
pcrial gypsum spur line of 20 miles in
length from the gypsum mountains
connects. The townsite is the prop
erty of the gypsum company and in
tended to accommodate the company s
needs, but is likely to develop beyond
the company interests.
New Railroad Built
The % mile railway Of the gypsum
company is practically finished, and
the rush work is now centered at Dun
away. An electric power and light line
is being extended from Imperial Valley
by the Southern Sierra Power Co. Tel
ephone installation has been made. A
four mile water main is now being laid
from Dixieland and excavation is being
made for 10000 gallon reservoir.

Travels with Burton Holmes. Mystery
but not too deep. Lots of fighting
when men are brave and fight for 4
girl. Good books like Pollyanna. How
things are made, pictures of fisheries
etc, ,and good Western scenery. Edd
cational pictures, like the Lincoln High
