Her Extraordinary Series Of Adventures
and q Strange Denouenent-
During the civil war the state Of
Louisiana established at Mount Leb-
anon, In Bienville parish, laboratory
for the preparation of medicines to bs
used in the confederate service. To
supply the water needed deep we'll
was dug. After the war all the build
ings connected with the laboratory
were destroyed by fire, and the we'll
remained yawning and uncurbed. Thus
1t has remained ever since, fer no one
uses 1t and IL is no ones business to
I'LL it or cover il over. Alpine wood has
grown up about it; and the well has
long served as pitfall for animals
that stray in the direction. A Louisi-
ana paper says that when a cow or pig
or any other animal disappears from
the neigbboring town, it is commonly
remarked that the animal is ''at the
bottom o. the we'll" and that Is the
last that is said about it.
One day recently fine goose, which
belonged TO a gentleman named Mat
thews, WHO lives not far away, strayed
of in the morning, and in the evening
her brood of gosIings csne "cheePing
back without her. It was surmised
that the goose might have fallen into
the well.
Two days afterward, Mr.. Matthew,
rife in hand, on his way TO join hunt
ing party, passed near the old well,
and noticed that largo hawk appeared
TO be greatly interested IN something
which was going ON in the well.
The hawk circied round and round
nbove the opening, Owed into it. re-
appeared screaming, and went down
again. After a succession of such
movements the hawk finally emerged
from the well with greatwhite load In
his talons.
It was the missing goose; and the
goose, to Mr.. Matthew'S astonishInent.
had long black snake hanging froa
her beak. A shot from his rifle
brought the trio to tho earth, and the
man set about solving the mystery.
The snake appeared to have attempted
to swallow the goose, head first, for
her beak was sticking in his throat,
30 that he could not get away, nor
could she get rid of him.
Evidently after her fall down the
well the goose had found q foothold
on bit of curbing, and had there been
attacked by the snake, with the singu-
lar result described. In that predica-
ment she had been pounced upon by the
hawk.
Mr.. Matthews killed the snake.
bagged the hawk, and restored the
goose to the bosom of her grateful fam
lily; for she was little the worse for her
extraordinary series of adventures. The
hawk was found TO measure five feet
from tip to tip of it's outstretched
