A KENTUcHx SNAKE STORY.
Remarkable SconoS Witnessed by Kon-
lucky judge NGhiIe Gut Walking.

Remarkable Scclo1 Witnessed by n Kon-
tuclsy JUDGE While Gut Walking.
Judge j. u. Bowman, who lives
near marlborough, gave Vanceburg
(Ky.) correspondent of the New York
World an account of wonderful
snake fight that he recently witnessed.
lie was going through strip of wood
land on the way to his wheat field
when his attention was attracted by
peculiar noise near his pathway. Look
ing in the direction whence the
sound proceeded he observed black
snake and rattlesnalze twined to-
gcther in deadly combat. The black
snake was wound about its vcnomous
enemy, cndeavoring to squeeze the life,
ont of him. The Judge became an
eager spectator of the novel combat.
Ever and anon the rattlosnake would
bite the blaclssnake. Then a remarka-
bic thing would occur.
The blacl1snalle rs soon as bitten
would uncoil himself, dart for small
bush, and bite Off one of the leaves.
He would. moistcn it in his mouth,
press out the juice, apply it to the Bit
ten place, and then return to his en-
envy again. This was repeated sew
eral times, until finally the black
snake squeezed the life out of the rat
tier.
Judge Bowman says he never kills
blaclSsnalles. He says it is their mis-
sion and one they greatly enjoy to de-
Etroy all tho vencmous snakes they
can lind. The judge has a pet black
snake that stays in his barn and keeps
away all the rats and mice.
