you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear

HERE'S A PRIZE SNAKE STORY
Man and "Woman Have a Blood-
cjiirdltiig Adventure.
Back Berry , whose farm is , on the
Niobrara Ttiver , twenty-five mites north
east of O'Neill , tells the best snake story
of the season. Jt runs as follows :
One day last week Mr. Berry and Miss
Caldwell of Sioux City , his niece , were
strolling along the river bottom cast of the
house through a beautiful natural grove ,
when all at once they discovered by the
warning whirr of hundreds of horny tails
that they were in the midst of a congress
of rattlesnakes that seemed to be in session
as a committee of the whole for executive
business.
Mr. Berry happened to have a spade in
his hand and with it laid about , him vigor
ously right and left. Miss Caldwell as
sisted with a club. When the battle was
over they co.unted 23(5 ( dead rattlesnakes
and half as many blue racers. A great
many of the snakes had as high as eleven
rattles. They were an extraordinary
vicious lot and instead of attempting to es
cape came savagely at the intruders and
fought doggedly until the last one was - -
terminated. The rattles , which fill an . - . -
dinary cigar box , they cut off and prize
very highly as mementos of an'exceedingly
perilous position.
In speaking of his experience with the
rattlers , Mr. Berry said he had been in
some pretty close places , but was never so
thoroujihlj' frightened as when he found
himself outflanked by those snakes on
murder bent. As for Miss Caldwell , Mr.
Berry said he had never seen as brave a
woman. When the light was the fiercest
and the snakes the thickest , and it looked
like a sure case of beinir bitten , she neither
screamed nor fainted , but coolly laid them
out with her club.
A peculiar thing about the matter is that
a rattlesnake is rarely seen south of the
river , while they are quite numerous on
the Boyd County side. It is Mr. Berry's
opinion that they crossed the river and
were going into winter quarters in a den
that is thought to be in that vicinity. A
big killiir" was made near the same place
several years ago.
CAR MEN HELD UP.
Two Masked Robbers Make a "Haul
in Omaha.
Two masked men on the night ofNov. .
30 held up Conductor Sam A. Armstedt
and Motorman Mike Clark in Omaha and
relieved them of $10 in cash and a silver
watch. The train was just about to pull
out from the west end of the Sherman
Avenue and South Omaha line at Thirty-
sixth Street and Ames Avenue , when two
men suddenly emerged from the darkness
and jumped on the car. One of them had
a white handkerchief tied over the lower
part of the face , and the other one had a
red one tied in the same manner.
They did not stop to bandy words , but
presented revolvers to the faces of the
astonished street car men and commanded
them in language more forcible than ele
gant to shell out what they had. The
street car men did not wait to be asked
iwice , for each one felt the cold steel
pressed against his forehead. There was
a sudden transfer of property , with which
the robbers vanished into the darkness.
AVhy a Lodge AVill Not Pay.
Sherman MtvFadden died at Lushton
after two weeks' illness. He died of fever ,
the exact symptoms of which are not
known , as he was not attended by a physi
cian , lie and his wife were both Christian
Scientists and he died in the faith if not
because of it. Jle was a son of Capt. J.
McFadden , sheriff of Fillmore County.
Both he and his \Vife refused to have a
doctor. A Christian Scienlist from Lincoln
treated him. The local members of Mod
ern Woodmen Lodge asked them to em-
plov a physician , but both objected. The
policy of $2,000 on the life of McFadden
will be contested on this account.
Farmer Shot by a Brother.
James and William Shuck were on the
road between the home of their father , a
well known farmer , and William's home ,
about thirteen miles south of North Platte ,
when a ball from a gun James was carry
ing passed through his brother's head caus
ing instant death. James claims it was
accidental.
Omaha's Mayor Very III.
An Omaha dispatch on Nov. 29 stated
that Mayor F. E. Moores of that city was
lying at his home in a serious condition.
A little over a week ago he left his office
and went home unable for duty. Pleuro-
pneumonia\ developed and at times the
condition of the mayor was considered
critical.
Boy's Face Torn by Dog's Teeth.
Stephen , the H-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Cunningham , was bitten in the
face by a dog at O-sceola. The boy was
delivering milk at the residence of Josiah
Locke , and as he stepped on the porch
the dog jumped at him and injured his
face so that he is under the care of the
doctor.
Samuel KlUert Is Dead.
A private dispatch from Galveston ,
Texas , announces the death of Samuel II.
Elbert , ex-governor of Colorado , in that
city. Mr. Elbert was a delegate of Ne

Sheltou Men Buy New Mexico Sheep

UP TO CIVIL COURTS.
Corporal Faire and Privnted Jock-
r-ns Acquitted by Courtmartial.
Corporal John S. Fairc and Private
Henry J. Jockens were acquitted Nov. 27 by
courtmartial hi Omaha of manslaughter ,
the specific charge being the killing of a
Jleeing deserter Private Samuel Morgan
of the Eighth Cavalry.
The shooting occurred at La Plalle ,
Sarpy County , and at the time the ollicials
of that coun'ty decided that the ends o !
justice wouldbe satisfied if the military
ollicials handled the case. Gov. Poyntei
ordered Hie attornpy general to take the
case up in the event of an acquittal , his
excellency holding that as long as the
community was not under military law
the shooting of a fugitive from the guard
house was an arbitrary act and a menace
to the public safety.
BIBLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Supt. Jackson Gives an opinion in
Case Referred to Him. t
One of tbe school directors of the Gage
County district has asked State Supt. Jack
son whether he would restrain n teacher
from reading the bible or singing religious
songs before her class. Mandamus pro
ceedings were recently instituted in the
district court at Beatrice to compel the
school board to discontinue the practice ol
reading the scriptures at the opening ol
school. Supt. .Jackson rendered a de
cision which is quite in favor of ihe bible ,
holding that there is nothing in the lawsol
Nebraska to prevent simple reading , with
out note or comment , or repeating the
Lord's rrayer.
Desperate Man Suicides.
As Sheriff Sweeney of Butte County , S.
D. , was conducting JIarry Rogers , a con
victed horse thief and desperate man , to
the Sioux Falls penitentiary to spend two
years , his prisoner committed suicide. Al
O'Neill a change of cars from the Elkhorn
to the Pacific Short Line was made. Rogers
was conducted to a seat in the combination
smoking , baggage and mail car'and Sheriff
Sweeney took a seat behind the prisoner
and his deputy sat in the seat in front ol
him. When the train was a short distance
from Brunswick the prisoner asked the
deputy for his penkdife , as lie wanted tc
clean his linger nails before reaching
Sioux City , and the deputy complied with
the request.
"Ha ! " exultantly whooped the prisoner ,
and opening a long blade he drew it across
his neck from his right ear almost to the
jugular vein. The blood gushed and
spurted and a dozen men were on theii
feet. "With an awful oath that made the
blood of the hearers run cold an oath
that was half a wail of despair and a curse
of hate he fell on his face and expired.
The body was taken from the train at
Plainview and prepared for burial. The
sheriff took the bo-ly to Belle Fourche.
Officer Mistaken for a. Thief.
William Bannister , the night merchant
