WAFER SNAKE FIGHTS EEL.
Terrific Combat which Finally Ended In
the Eel's Escape.

Ibid you ever know that there is a
deadly antipathy between a common
water snake and an eel." asked the
fisherman. ''Well, I never knew it I'M
til an experience that had in witness
ing IA fight between the two. Personally
/ have tho greatest dread Of cells. I'm
more afraid Of them than | ann Of a
snake, and yon can imagine my chagrin
when | happened to nook one on one of
my fishing expeditions was afraid to
touch it, and all / could do was to let it
dangle in the air / could not get it off
my hook, and | was meditating what to
do, when, altogether unnoticed, allow
ed the shiny object to drop down into
the water.
IN moment 1 saw big water
snake make dive for it. At the first
lunge it caught the neck of the eel
squarely between its teeth, and could
see it sink its ugly looking fangs into
the eel S flesh. Iwaited anxiously to see
the developments. With its grim hold
still on the cells neck the snake. quick
as it takes to tell it, wrapped its sinu-
Gus body around its antagonists neck in
an effort to squeeze it TO death. The
body of the eel was too sleek, however.
and the snake s coils, despite all it could
do. would slip down into the water.
Time and time again it tried to squeeze
the life ont of its antagonist, never for
an instant releasing its hold ON the cells
neck, but the body of the latter was too
sleek for it and every time it would slip
down. Finally the hook broke and the
eel made good its escape. "-Indianapo-
