CORDED A CROCODILE
Turning a Greedy Water Devil Into a
Trussed Up Mummy
It is known that a crocodile will
sometimes leave a river stocked with
food explore for miles an unsuitable
tributary then wander inland uutil it
Gnds a pool
In this way three crocodiles once
found their way to Taiping lake in
the Malay peninsula So long as they
conflned their attention to the fish and
an occasional duck no one objected to
their presence but when one of them
began to take sheep off the bank as
they came down to drink it was felt
that the saurians ought to be exter
minated and an Englishman and his
rervant made the attempt
Obtaining a dugout they paddled
into deep water The servant was
already barefoot and the Englishman
himself took off shoes and stockings
bo that his bare feet might have as
good a hold as possible on the smooth
bottom of the canoe A bait was at
tached to a heavy rattan and soon a
tug and a plunge indicated that the
crocodile was fast to one end Im
mediately the canoe began to move
through the water After a protracted
struggle the Englishman managed to
get the crocodile within a few yards
of the canoe At one moment the open
jaws would surge out of the broken
water and snap together in unpleasant
proximity to the mens legs the next
moment the heavy tail woiud swing
free of the water and with the weight
of a falling pole would hit the side of
the canoe a blow that made it shiver
As the crocodile surged close to the
canoe qnd the open vmouth appeared
above the water the servant slipped a
noose of stout cord over the upper jaw
and pulled it tight some six inches be
hind the point of its nostrils Then
with a quick turn of his wrist he slip
ped the slack of the cord round under
the lower jaw He drew the cord
tight and the teeth of each jaw press
ed home into the sockets of the other
The servant now grasped the point of
the long narrow head with one hand
and with the other rapidlyv wound the
cord round the clinched mouth
Another noose was slipped over a
fore leg It pulled the leg up to the
animals side The servant slipped the
-line over the creatures back and
caught up the other fore leg Then he
noosed and tied together the hind legs
The effect he had achieved was won
derful In a few minutes he had
transformed a ravening water devil
into a trussed up mummy and his only
weapon had been three pieces of box
cord
The beast was afterward dispatched
and the servant received tie govern
ment reward Harpers Weekly

vicinity he felt qualified to make an
effort to try for a position higher
up As far as my own personal cam
paign is concerned I have little to
say he asserted but of course I
will try to erive the neonle an equit
able administration of justice if
am elected
I would much prefer to talk about
some other phase of politics he
continued For instance perhaps
you might want to know how people
out my way regard the probability
of our fellow townsman Congressman
Norris coming out for United States
senate v We have no positive ideas
on the subject as Norris has given
nobody so far as I know any inti
mation as to his future plans Some
think that he will get into the race
while others think that he will stay
in the congressional race for some
time to come But most of the peo
ple out our way are of the opinion
that he can defeat Norris Brown for
the nomination and later can whip
Shallenberger if he defeats Thomp
son at the general election While
it is true that the ex governor has
many friends back of him and has
the support of his party organization
wefeel that next year will be a re
publican year and that republicans
will grace most of the offices after
the smoke has cleared away

McCOOK MAN SAYS NORRIS
CAN BE ELECTED SENATOR
C E Eldred of McCook who lately
filed as a candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for judge in the
Fourteenth judicial district was in
the city yesterday on business Mr
j Eldred was for three successive terms
mayor of McCook and was later coun
ty judge and county attorney in Red
Willow county He declared after
twenty-one-years of residence in that
Tiiis state I believe is strongly
progressive and that fact added to
the well known fact that George Nor
ris is the leader of the progressives
as far as the west is- concerned
would justify that opinion
In regard to the new primary law
enacted at the last session of the
legislature the Red Willow county ma
said that people fn general had had
little opportunity to read it and that
until they had seen it tried out they
woiud not venture an opinion upon it
After we have seen it go through
the next two campaigns we can tell
more about its good points and its
defects than at the present time
The- early primary next year will
mean a more constant and a longer
strain for candidates and will un
doubtedly have an effect on the gen
eral results Which way nobody can
tell but its pretty sure that it will
make an appreciable difference in
votes
Mr Eldred while having to contest
in one more county than formerly
under the provisions of the Placek
bill which rearranged the judicial
districts of the state said that he
does not mind that as far as iie is
concerned The Fourteenth dist
rict has no reason to complain of its
treatment in that measure he said
Changing the subject to the recent
action of the board of public lands
and buildings in locating the new ag
ricultural school at Curtis the Mc
Cook man while admitting that his
people were disappointed declared
that they cherished no hard feelings
in the matter We were good losers
in the proposition anyway he
said We would have liked to1 have
had it but as long as we didnt get
it we wont cry over the matter

Mystery to be Solved
Havana June 7 The first stage of
the actual work of uncovering the
wreck of the battleship Maine was
completed at 5 oclock yesterday eve
ning when pumping operations ceas
ed after the water level within the
cofferdam had been lowered five
feet
This leaves the portion of the
wreck visible above the water prac
tically the same as on the night of
the disaster before the hull had time
to become embedded in the mud at
the bottom of the harbor There is
now visbile a long stretch of the
starboard side of the quarter deck
which is slightly raised owing to a
list to port of the after two thirds
of the ship
Tie sighting hood and a portion of
the roof of the ten inch after turret
on the port side are above the water
All the newly exposed portions are
covered with barnacles and a rank
marine vegetable growth the removal
of which is necessary for sanitary
reasons before decomposition sets in
The pumping is to be suspended un
til June 15 when the water level will
be reduced another five feet The
work will then be suspended again so
that a minute examination may be
made of all sections of the coffer dam
after which the pumping will be con
tinued at intervals dependant upon
the result of the examination of the
dam until the bottom is reached three
or four weeks hence In the mean
time the work will be continued of re
filling the repaired caisson laying a
substantial platform over the ellipse
of the twenty caissons composing the
coffer dam and installing therein
appliances for the removel of mud
and such detached portions of the
wreck as may be discovered
