black snake and ground hog.

woods working when they were at

coiled around the ground hog,
squeezing the life out of it The
snake then took the one leg of the
ground hog in it's mouth sucking it
in. 1t getting dark the two men
left. The next day the two ami
mails were in the same position but
in four days in looking after the
beligerents the snake had swallow
ell the ground hog and was in a
torpid condition.

snake finding it q feet 10! inches
