Col. Bixby, Judge Dukes and Maj.
Finney came over from the Barstow
dippings one evening recently with
a big story about a storm a frw
evenings before on the Laramie p'.a.ns
in which it rained lizards. They had
been over the divide to the Waterman
ranch, and on returnng were over
taken by a gale, which presently
brought rain. For an hour or so it
poured in torrents, and then, jut at ;
dusk, they felt, something solid strik
ing them occasionally. At length the
coionel, who was sitting on the back
seat, says a writer in the New York
oun, reached down into the wagon box
and pulled out a "water dog" a Limit
six inches long. This convinced the
tourists that an extraordinary storm
was in progress, and to some extent
prepared them for what followed.
"Little by little," said the judge,
"the bombardment increased, until liz
ards and toads were thicker'n flies. We
turned up our coat collars and pulled
down our hats, but it did no good.
They'd strike us in the face, in the lap,
on the back and all over, and the
horses became wild with terror. We
lost our way, and the major got out to
look at the ground, but jumped back
into the wagon again with a yell, say
ing it was knee deep with lizards. By
this time it had stopped raining and we
came to the conclusion, tifter mature
reilection, that the area of the storm
could not be large, and that if we
moved straight ahead in almost any di
rection we would soon be out of it.
Acting on this determination we start
ed up again, and in the course of half
an hour we struck hard ground. We
camped near there, and when daylight
came we went back a ways and exam
ined the lizards. There were millions
of them, the great majority of them
being dead as the result of their fall;
but there were plenty of live ones, and
the way thev were crawling was a cau
tion." Some one having asked what theory
they had to advance in explanation of
this visitation, the major said that
there was a lake on the summit of the
mountain off toward Banning that was
full of lizards, aud he bad no doubt
that the wind, which was very high.
had scooped out that body of water
with all its contents and dumped them
on the Laramie plains. lie knew of a
similar case in Kansas. A tornado had
followed the line of a river and scooped

teen miles that farmers living thirty
miles from the stream found fish, tup
ties and frogs In their front dooryards,
and believed tney had rained down.
The colonel said he had brought a few
of the lizards in to show the folks, and
he wouiu get tnem, but, alter searciv
ing the wagon box in vain, he was
forced to apologize by saying that thev
had probably come to life and crawled
away,
Capt. Nelson, the saloonkeeper, who
had been a patient listener, shook his
head and said
"Old Hank Moore was the onlv man
I ever knew who could get 'em and bo
kind of pleasant and sociable with
'em. He never made no fuss, never got
excited, and never got scared. He'd
be walking along on the sidewalk, and
all of a sudden he would see a little
baby elephant ahead of him, and would
run along and try to climb on his back,
Then, when he'd fall, he'd swear that
somebody tripped him up, and he'd get
all over It. An hour later he would
get you off in the corner aud tell you
eonllilcntially that he wanted a drink.
but that lie couldn't swallow it unless
you took that alligator off the bar,

The ringleader in the riot coolly took
light from one of the member?
of the court. After a pause, and with
their lungs refreshed by the soothing
fumes of tobacco, they would all again
burst forth in chorus, and the noise
would be worse than before.
I know not sow the clerk to the
court managed to keep his notes of the
evidence, but perhaps he was accus
tomed to such scenes, and managed to
take down a fair description of what
had occurred.
Though there was fresh blood on
their clothes, and some long hairs were
sticking to the sword of the one who
had actually struck the blow, the pris
oners swore they were innocent Luck
ily the case did not rest on frail tes
timony, as an officer had been present
and seen the man cut down. So far
everything went to convict the cul
prits, but the question of provocation
given and received had to be debat
ed before the punishment eould be
awarded.
CUKiuUii UROWTH OF RATTAN.
Tough Wood of the Climbing; I'alin Tree
round In the Malayan Countries.
Everyone knows the pretty, light and
graceful chairs and other articles of
furniture made from rattan, but every
one does not know that the extremely
tough and flexible wood called rattan
is that of the climbing palm tree. This
curious climber, which is more of a
vine than a tree, is said by the Phila
delphia Times to be one of the singular
characteristics of forest growth in the
Celebes and other Malayan countries.
Starting with a trunk a little thicker
than a man's arm, it winds through
the forest, now wrapping a tall tree in
its fold, like some gigantic snake, and
then descending again to the earth
and trailing along in snakclike curves
until it can find some other stately
tree to fasten and climb upon in its
pursuit of light and air. The forest
is so thick and jungle-like that it
seems impossible to follow the course
of any of these serpent climbers, but
there is little doubt that at the last the
successful aspirant, which stooped and
cringed so long below, will be found
shooting up like a flagstaff a dozen
feet or more above the tree which has
helped it to rise. A use of rattan
which is unknown to those who have
not seen it in its native forest is as a
water carrier. The thirsty traveler
has at all times a tumbler of cool, re
freshing water at his command by cut
ting off six or eight feet of rattan and
putting one of the Bevered ends to his
mouth or holding it over a dish to
catch the water.
