BITE OF A SNAKE KILLS HIM.
Eau-Sau Said to Have Died In "A Chicago
Hospital.

Esu-Sau Said to Have Died In a Chicago
Hospital.
Eau-Sau. the alleged snake eater, is
said to have died in n Chicago hospi-
tai Saturday. While giving his show
in Missouri he was bitten by rattle
snake and later taken to Chicago for
treatment in the hope that his life
might be saved.
Eau Sau attracted a good deal of at
tentiOn by giving his exhibition in a
den of reptiles during the Moline
street fair. The act was later exposed
as one of the smoothest fakes that
was ever perpetrated, being accom-
plished by a silver lining in the man s
mouth, the snakes used being first
subjected to an operation for the re-
moval of their poison bags and other
treatment to make them harmless so
far as the poison was concerned. 1t
is presumed that the snake which in
Gicted the fatal wound had been sent
him before it was treated.
