HE BIT OFF IT'S HEAD.
A Mexican Indian Battles For Life
With a Boa Constructor.

One day last week an Indian
made an excursion to mountain
near Chevantzieurm, State of
Michoacan, in Mexico, to look af-
ter some fuel fer his hut. While
cutting up a dry oak he suddenly
felt a bite on the calf of his leg,
given in the friction of second.
A moment later he fe.t coiling
around his body the terrible folds
of Boa Constructor. Instinctive-
ly he leaned his head over toward
the wounded lJg and was almost
fascinated by the glare of two
bright basilisk eyes, that CLEANED
like fiery Goals in the head of a
serpent.
Quicker than flash the Indian
ducked his head and caught the
neck of the reptile between his
jaws, sinking his teeth in the quiv,
ering flesh and clinging to it with
the DESPERATION of the dying. The
huge serpent dashed its tail and
tried two twist its head in order to
bury its fangs in the Indian, but
the latter clung on and began to
chew away at Il c neck of the boa,
which is the thinnest and most del
icate part of the snakes anatomy.
After chewing for a long time
the Indian succeeded in beheading
his antagoni st, the folds dropped
from around his body and the H.
dian was free.

Ions of lemonade at a fair price.
