4 Fight With Snakes.

Roscoe Merrils, who is at work for
G. L. Halliday, of Sebawa, Mich,
had an experience few days ago that
he will not care to repeat. Going
over the swamp for tamarack pole
with which to repair the corn marker,
he ran across blue racer some seven
feet long. Having nothing handy to
strike it with he threw his axe at it,
but failed to hit it, and the snake re-
fused to run. While debating what
to do second one made it's appear
ance, and finally a third one some
eight feet long, and all advanced to
the attack. One ran between his legs
and Immediately coiled around them,
giving them hard squeeze and rails
ing it's head as if about to strike.
Catching it by the neck with one
hand he reached for his knife with
the other and cut it across one of the
coils, when it quickly unloosened and
glided offinto the bush. Being thus
released Merrils turned and ran for
the house; getting his gun he re-
turned and shot one, but the larger
one got away. In his hurry he got
cartridge jammed into the gun and
had to return to the house to get it
out. Years ago Oliver Bradley was
scared out of this same swamp, leav-
ing his axe, and afterward Lowell
Halliday saw snake over eight feet
long near the same place.

strongly, the sky was clear, and the
moon shone very bright, so that any
thing might be perceived at short
distance. After the cattle had been
quoted again, and the chief of the
party had looked over everything, he
missed the sentry from before the
tent. On calling as loudly as possiI
BILE, bnt in vain, he came to the mel
ancholy conclusion that the poor man
had fallen prey to the invader.
Three or four men then advanced very
cautiously to the bush, which stood
exactly opposite the door of the tent,
to see if they could discover anything
of the sentinel, but they returned
heller SHELTER, for the lion, who was
still there, rose up and began to roar.
A hundred shots were again fired at
the bush, without, however, there be-
ing any appearances of the lion. This
induced one of the men to approach
the bush with a fre-brand; and as he
advanced the lion roared terribly and
leaped at him; but the monster was
compelled to retire by the ire-brand,
which was hurled at him, and the
shots by which he was assailed.
The fire. brand fell into the midst of
the bush, and, favored by the wind, it
began to burn with great flame, so
that those assembled could see into the
bush and through it. They continued
their firing into it; the night passed
away and the day began to break,
which induced everyone to fire at the
lion, as he could not lie there without
exposing himself. Some men posted
at the furthest wagons watched to
take aim at him as he came out. At
last, just before it became quite light,
he walked up the hill with the dead
body of the sentinel in his mouth;
about forty shots were fired without
hitting him; and, persisting in retain
ing his prey amid the fire and shot, he
carried it securely off. But short
lived was his safety, he was followed
and killed before noon, while stand
ing over the mangled remains of the
unfortunate sentinel.

"Sandy Jim's" Adventure.

A citizen of Irwin County, Georgia,
Mr.. James Fletcher, better known as
'Sandy JIM" to distinguish him
from cousin of the same name, has a
collection that, in these late days of
the Nineteenth century, is a unique
one. It is about 800 sets of deer
antlers, that at one time were arranged
in rows under the piazza shed of his
residence, one tier above another.
The best of it is Mr.. Fletcher remem-
bers the history of each pair of antlers,
and can tell just where the deer was
killed and all the attending circum-
stances. And the histories are we'll
worth hearing, being rich enough in
adventure to fill volume of ordinary
size.
But one of his most memorable ad
ventures is not connected with the
deer antlers. Mr.. Fletcher built a
turkey-pen down near the edge of the
river swamp, and going to it one day
was overjoyed to find eight fine, fat,
wild turkeys entrapped therein. In
his haste to secure them, he decided
to crawl through into the pen and
catch and kill them. But when he
got inside, he would have given half
his worth to be out again. Did you
ever try to handle live, wild turkey2
He is warm member. And all eight
of these were warm members, and as
Mr.. Fletcher worked they rapidly be-
came warmer. At last after making
the most desperate fight of his life, he
came out victorious, and the turkeys
were all slain, but when Mr.. Fletcher
slowly and painfully crawled out of
that slaughter pen he was not as hand
some as he once was, .but he knew
more. And the scars of the conflict
he bears until to-day.

killing Grizzlies with a Knife.

The love for free life and the ex-
element of fighting and hunting was
unboundsd in "Jim" Baker, the
famous scout who died few weeks
ago in Colorado. On one occasion he
killed two full grown grizzly cubs
with a hunting knife, while his Fifs
lay unused on the ground. A COM
panion and himself saw the two cubs
as they were passing up the side of a
mountain. Baker proposed that each
of them should kill one of the cubs
with hunting knife alone, "because
it would be great thing to tell about
afterward." Putting aside their guns
the two hunters attacked. Baker
killed his cub and went to the rescue
of his friend, who was hard pressed
and yelling for help. AS soon as
Baker went to his assistance the other
man ran awy. Baker killed the Sec
ond cub.
