BATTLE WITH A BLACKsNAKE.-Jss.
Flynn, who resides in Plainield, n. j.,
tells a thrilling story of an encounter
With blacksnake Wednesday while
walking through the fields near New
Market. Flynn says he was walking
through the tall grass, when he came
on to the snake taking sun BATH. His
foot struck the reptile, but he saw his
predcament quickly and started to
move away cautiously. He was great
ly frightened when he saw the snake
commence moving toward him.
Flynn started on run, but the snake
also increased it's pace. Before Flynn
could reach the woods, some distance
away, be declares the reptile made q
leap and curled around one of his legs,
almost throwing him to the ground
Flynn says that then he reached into
one of his pockets and brought forth a
big jack knife. He grabbed the reptile
around the neck, so he says, and with
one slash of his knife severed the rep
tiles head from its body.
The snake relaxed its coils and fell
to the ground. Flynn picked up the
dead body of the snake and took it to
his store. When measured it was found
TO be a trihe more than FIVE feet in
length.
