the head on a raJtlesnake this morn

from the effects of the bite he received
ON one of the fingers Of his right hand,
or from the amount of whiskey. alco-

actly clear. Drago started out this
morning as usual ON prospecting tour
and had not got very far from the
Keeny ranch. near Contact. when he
came across a full-grown rattler. The
snake tried TO get away, but Drago
would not have this and attempted to
take the reptile by the tail and snap
It's head on. In this attempt he was
bitten on the foreiinger. but succeeded
In killing the snake and completed the
job. according to his ante-mortem
statement. by biting Its head on.
He then started for the nearest

as good as dead and when IL developed
that between the time he was bitten
and the time he reached Big Timoer
he had drank two quarts OF diluted al

was that the liquor and not the snake

nor the arm was swollen. and there

his death.
