How to Shoot u Rather.

The writer saw an Indian kill
rattlesnake in very peculiar man
ner recently. The rattler was about
10 feet from the Indian, who was
resting the rife on his knee, appar-
emily taking aim.
Whenever he moved the weapon a
few inches, the snake would move
around and get exactly in line with
It. Then, to show how the thing was
done, the Indian moved about the
snake in a circle, and the reptile
moved as if his tail were a pivot, al
ways keeping his head and body in
line with the gun. The Indian then
agreed to bandage his eyes and shoot
the snake in the mouth.
The writer bandaged the Indians
eyes, and, holding the gun by his
side at arms length, the latter pulled
the trigger, and the ball entered the
snakes mouth and passed the whole
length of his body,
"How did you take aima' was the
query.
1.-The snake he take aim," was the
reply.
We have talked with IN old hunt
or on this proposition, and he claims
that rattlesnake will always range
directly in line with gun OF stick
pointed at it.-Carson Appeal
