In Central Dakota, on Hie “Mis souri bottoms,” there exists one of nature s strangest freaks. The settlers term it the “pump snake." How it came there or where it came from is yet unknown. Il first made its appearance in Em mons county in the spring of '86. A full grown pump snake meas urcs about sixteen feet in length and about three inches in diame ter. They are of gregarious hab its, roaming over the prairies in large herds, as many as 300 hav ing been counted in a single flock. In dissecting one of these rrptiles there is found a tube which ex tends from the roof of the jaw to the extremity of the tail and ter tuinaling in an opening. ' lube is about two inches in diam : eler and lined with a tough sub-1 | stance, similar to rubber. The pump snake is easily trained to answer the call of man. The in ! habitants in this section trap them in large numbers. A farmer on Cat Tail Creek has a flock of twenty pump snakes trained l* a remarkable degree ol proficiency. At the blast of a whistle the snakes assemble on the banks of the creek. The lead er— there is always a leader to a herd of these snakes, who is elect ed by Uvo thirds majority—dash es into the water of the creek, leav mg only the extremity of its tail on the bank. Another snake im mediately grasps the end of the leader's tail in its jaws, a third snake lakes hold of the second snake's tail in a similar manner, and so on until there is a continu ous line of snakes joined end on, extended to the water troughs iu the cattle yards 300 feet away.— The leading snake commences toi swallow or pump the waters of the creek, which passes through the The career or this man shows ) a Banner-Watchman reporter. while perambulating the street**: line of snakes what a bright unscrupulous spec ial l at htftt I dream —to* Hi cam of was min thousands.

Fur ihrrmore, she offered $150, then $200. She also saidjshejhad offer ed an undertaker in New York $200 to do the job.
