ATLANTA GA, March 29.-This morn
ing about $3.50 o'clock Mr.. M. B.
Smith, who works in the Southern Ex.
press Office, was bitten by rattlesnake
that lay concealed in crate of cabbages.
The cabbages were shipped from jack.
sonville, Fla, and Mr.. Smith was NOV
ing them preparatory to their delivery to
commission merchant. AS he placed
his hand on the crate he felt q stinging
sensation in one of his fingers and saw
that huge snake had fastened its fangs
in his flesh. In a few seconds the hand
and arm began to swell and Mr.. Smith
was sdriven hurriedly to DR.. Gaston's office.
DR.. CASTOR saw the young man was in
danger of losing his life and he gave him

Search was Immediately instituted. The
surrounding woods were closely searched

search was abandoned. Yesterday
man hunting IN the woods, some three
miles from Mr.. Sutton's, found the little
boy lying dead down by the side of a
large bay. 1t is matter of surprise how
he could have escaped the notice of the
searching parties, and it is especially
