A Horrible Snake Story.

Messrs. ID. S. Perkins, Joseph Stralcy
and John F. Stienrack, party of Chi:
cago tourists, returned yesterday from a
three months trip through Park, Summit
and Grande Counties. They fitted out an
outfit at Simpsons corral last July, and
drove down southwark and prospectcd
from Granite to Fort Steele, on the Union
Pacific.
These gentlemen relate a most horrible
snake story, which will bear repeating.
They were encamped in Elk Head Noun
tains, in the North Park, on the 10th Of
last September. when they met with IL
misfortune which cost one of the party
his life. The party arrived in camp late
one night after days hunt and ramble
over the hills. After hearty supper the
party lay down in their blankets around
the fire, which had been built in the cleft
of some large quartz rocks, and all were
soon fast asleep. Mr.. Straley was
awakened in the night by heavy weight
upon his chest. At first he supposed it
was his brothers hand, but as it did not
move, and becoming nervous and
alarmed, he raised his head, and was hor
ritied to find large mountain rattle
snake coiled upon his chest, with its head
nestled down in the center of the coil.
1t was nearly daylight, but Mr.. Straley
was so paralyzed with fear that he could
not make a noise and dared not move
He recovered his presence of mind SO
far as to be able to draw the blanket over
his face. This movement startled the
reptile monster, which glided from him
to his brother, who was sleeping with
him. The snake passed from his breast TO
his brothers face, when in fatal moment
Henry Straley raised his hana to tear it
away. There was fierce rattle and a
loud cry from the half-awakened boy,
and the monster buried it's fangs in his
right hand and a second time in his
cheek. There was horrible scream
from Henry Straley as the poor boy
jumped to his feet, while the snake glided
from the blankets to large flat rock
near the embcrs of the fire. Mr.. jenkins
fired his revolver at the horrible creature,
and at the second shot brought it down
Poor young Straley was soon suffering
the most intense agony. His brother, at
his request, cut out large portion of
the cheek in hopes that the poison had
not penetrated very deep, and a tight
ligature was bound around the wrist of
the bitten hand, which was bathed in
cold water. But nothing the Mortified
young men could do awaited to save the
poor boy. He died in less than two
hours in the most terrible agony. Had
the party been supplied with plentiful
supply of whisky his life might have
been saved, but they had none with
them. The body changed color within
three hours after the accident The
young men conveyed the corpse to Fort
Steele, whence it was shipped home to
Chicago for intcrmcnt. The snake meas

rattlcs, which were taken off, and which
