HUSBAND PUT HER IN
CAVE WITH SNAKES
Later He Attempted to Tie Her Hands and Feet
and Place Her On a Red Hot Stove—Wo
man Is Granted a Divorce In Denver.
Denver, Colo., Aug. 31.—That her
husband imprisoned her in a cave itk,
which there were two huge snakes,
from which she barely escaped with
her life, and later attempted to tie her
hands and feet and place her on a red
hot stove, was the testimony given by
Mrs. Fannie Wood in the district court
in her suit for divorce from Chester
Wood yesterday. She secured her de
cree.
Wood became insane several months
ago and when officers came to take
him in charge he took refuge in a cul
vert half filled with water, where for
several hours he put up a desperate
fight, finally being overcome after he
had received severe injuries.

Associated Press.
Columbia, 8. C., Aug. 31.—The local
optionists and statewide prohibitionists
will meet in a second primary two
weeks from now, according to the near
ly complete returns from yesterday’s
democratic primaries for state, county
and congressional offices. Three con
gressmen, Patterson in the second dis
trict: Finley in the fifth and Elberbe
in the sixth, will enter the second
primaries unless there is unexpected up
i sets occur in the returns still outstand
ing. The other democratic congressmen
were all renominated.
With 80,000 out of a total vote of
I 90,000 already in, it appears certain
I for the nomination for Governor Bleas,
the local optionist, will enter the sec
ond primary with Featherstone, prohibi-
I tionist. For lieutenant governor, Smith
; has a lead which will probably make a
1 second primary unnecessary. Attorney
I General Lyon has been renominated by
la big majority.. For adjutant general,
| Moore and Richardson will run in the
I second primary. Pansier is in the lead
for railroad commissioner, with Hamp
j ton and Scarborough running neck and
I neck for second.
ARTESIAN BELT NOT
YET SOLD, SAYS SIMMONS
If Houston Option Holders Do
Not Close Deal He Will
Build to River,
“In the event the pending deal on
for the purchase of my road, the Arte
sian Belt, is not consummated, I will
extend the road on to the Rio Grande
on the south, and into San Antonio on
the north, and I will operate it my
self.”
Dr. C. F. Simmons, president and gen
eral manager of the Artesian Belt rail
road, made this statement this morning.
Dr. Simmons, since his return from
New York city two weeks ago, has been
ill. but is now recovering.
For several weeks past an option for
the purchase of the Artesian Belt has
been held by Houston people. This op
tion has not yet expired and will not
for some time, but Dr. Simmons ex
pressed the opinion that within the next
few days the deal would be closed one
way or the other.
“My road, now in operation over
forty-three miles of track, has proved
to be a money getter, and 1 consider
it one of the best pieces of new rail
road property in the state,” said Dr.
Simmons. “1 am just waiting on these
gentlemen who have an option to buy
my road to act. If they decide not to
buy, then I am going ahead with my
plans to build into San Antonio and ex
tend to the Rio Grande.”
Onions are more nourishing than any
other vegetable.

TEXAS HUNTERS
Shooting Season Not Open Yet
’ But County Clerk Is Ready
SYNOPSIS OF GAME LAWS.
What May Be Killed and Rules
Governing it Shown in Sum
mary of New Statute.
Although the hunting season does not
really open up until November 1, yet
the issuance of hunting licenses begins
tomorrow, the law providing that they
run from September 1 to September 1.
County Clerk Frank R. Newton has al
ready issued one license, this being to
Dr. D. Withrow of San Antonio, who is
going to the coast and believes that he
may find something to shoot there.
Last year the question of who, under
the law, bad the right to issue hunting
licenses was settled for all time by a
ruling of the attorney general that the
county clerk issue all licenses to hunt
ers within each county and that the
deputy game warden issue them to out
of-state hunters who came to Texas to
try their luck. The ruling came in re
sponse to a letter from County Clerk
Newton and subsequently the game war
den called in all license blanks in the
hands of deputies except those intended
for out of state hunters.
Under the law, a resident of a county
needs no license to hunt in his own
county and adjoining counties. It is only
when he goes outside those boundaries
and goes to another part of the state
that he needs a license, and this license
is to be issued by the county clerk of
the county of which the would-be hunt
er is a resident. For instance, if a resi
dent of Bexar county wanted to go to
Matagorda county to hunt deer he
would have to take fils license in
Bexar county.
Because of many inquiries at the
county clerk’s office, a synopsis of the
game" law has been compiled, and is
herewith printed:
Synopsis of Game Law.
You may kill 25 quail or doves in
any one day only from Nov. 1 to Feb.
1 of each year.
You may kill 3 buck deer only from
Nov. 1 to Jan. 1 of each year.
You may kill 3 wild turkey only
from Dec. 1 to April 1 of each year.
You may kill in all seasons of the
vear duck, geese, robing wild pigeon,
snipe, jucksnipe, curlews, Mexican
pheasants or cbaealpca; bag limit, 25 iu
anv one day. ■
You may kill rabbits, squirrels, fox.
opossums, coons, bear, in any number
in ail seasons.
You may ship or transport to your
home such game as you have lawfully
killed by making proper affidavit.
You must not buy or sell any of the
wild game or game birds, or kill, eaten
or destroy the eggs, or have in posses
sion, living or dead, any wild song bird,
except hawks, crows, buzzards, owls,
English sparrows, rice birds and black
birds.
You must not hunt for any game or
birds at night with a lantern, hunting
lamps or any other light.
Any person may hunt or kill any
game’ during the 'open season, when it
is lawful to kill game, in the county of
his residence, or in the counties adjoin
ing the county of his residence, or on
land owned or controlled by him, with
out procuring a hunter’s license; but
they must not hunt beyond the boundar
jesof their adjoining counties without
a hunting license, said hunting license
must be carried on the person when
not use or attempt to use
the license of another person; or in any
manner make any change in any license
for the purpose of transferring the
same, under the penalty of prosecution
for forgery.
