One Disputed the Way With Fred o. GetcheiI

Stage Driver Fred o. Getchell, who
runs the Winthrop and Augusta route
and resides at 1870 Grove street. killed
a rattlesnake not far from Augusta,
one day last week. He was out in the
country to see about some hay and his
attention was attracted to a snake near
the entrance to the barn. The snake
struck at a stick placed within his
reach and just before each attack there
was a strange noise unlike anything
Mr.. Getchell had ever known a snake
to make.
The snake was between two boards
in such a position that it could not
readily coil itself for a blow. but when
Mr.. Getchell got him out he showed
fight in good style. He made several
leaps and was finally tossed into the
air from the ends of a stick in the
stage drivers hands. When the snake
came ddvn Mr.. Getchell hit him as he
would have batted base ball and took
the snakes head off.
The snake was young and the rattles
were not fully developed.

William Majors of Clay Station
was in the city yesterday, and in
conversation with the BANNER re-
porter, stated that freight traffic
was completely tied up at his
home. Several hundred bales Of
cotton are awaiting shipment,
and tons upon tons of cotton seed
are lying around on the ground.
In connection with this traffic
paralysis, Mr.. Majors said that
if the Santa Fe could run the
branch train as far as their point
the cotton and seed could be
shipped and would relieve the
people. Heretofore the ship
ments have been made to Bryan
but the structure upon trains has
cut them off from that point.
Here is a chance for Brennan
to do a bit of advantageous work
of course with the co-opera-
ton Of the Santa Fe. Nearly all
the branch crew are in the city,
and if the amount of cotton and
seed designated is there it would
benefit the railroad as much as
our oil mill and congresses to
bring it here.
