a special from Barlow to the Jackson
vile Times-Union says; Isl Murdaugh
had a narrow escape from being bitten by
a rattlesnake. He, Arthur Forsyth and
Blake Walker were coasting down a hill
on their bicycles, between Barlow and
Homeland, when a RATHER started to cross
the path on which Murdaugh was riding
Quick as a flash the front wheel of the
bicycle passed over the snake, but some
how or other the rear wheel and the
reptile got tangled up. All this occurred
in an instant, when Murdaugh felt some
thing strike him in the back. He cried
out; I'm snake bit" when suddenly the
wheel stopped and ne landed on his feet
about eight feet ahead of his machine.
His companion came up and proceeded to
examine and see If he had really been
wounded. They found that the RATHER
had struck the leather belt that Muir
daugh wore, but fortunately there was
no sign of a wound on his body In the
meantime his snakeship had started to
crawl away, but being severely wounded,
his progress was somewhat slow. Mr.
Walker hunted around and found a small
mollsh either the snake or the tree. For
awhile IL was doubtful as to which would
survive, as the snake was an expert in
ring tactics and il was not until the
third round that the reptile was killed.
Ii measured somewhere between four and
1--WE feet and had eleven rattles.
