ratified and attempted to run away
The folds Of the king snake were
wound too tightly about him, how
ever. and he was held to the battle
ground. After that the king had the
fighting all his way and made the go-
ing according to his own ideas.
Finally the rattler gave up. He lay
stretched out with his head fiat on the
ground, the king twined about him
with uplifted head directly over the
head Of the vanQuished. Mike saw
the coils Of the king tighten about the
body Of the other. There was a COM

al the bones in the diamond back bent
and snapped. The fight, which lasted
half an hour. was over.
The boy in the bushes saw the king

Then the red mouth of the king OPEN

OFFERS $1,000 FOR
MISS jEWETT's SCALP.
sequel Of the Recent Riots The
Woman. Who Denounesd the killing
Of ChaEles and Others BY . Mob Of
Lawlsss whites. -

There Is much excitement In two
widely separated sections Of the coun-
try over q sequel Of the recent bloody
scenes in the city Of New Orleans. La,
and as a result the states Of Louisiana
and Massachusetts are, * to speak,
scowling at each other with unmistak-
able viciousness. The Green Turtle
club, a semi-political organization Of
New Orleans, has threatened the life
and set the price Of 5 1000 on the head
of Miss Lillian Clyton Jewett Of Bos-
ton, who headed q mass meeting Of
Boston negroes a few nights ago and
declared war on southern whites. A
Boston dispatch says Miss Jewett has
secured 10000 negro crusaders willing
to march to New Orleans, and that
$4,000 was raised to equip them and to
send an advance agent.
Miss Jewett is president Of the Anti
Lynching league of Boston and the
recent killing Of Charles and other ne
groes without trial by lawless whites
excited the woman and her followers
greatly. At the meeting in Boston
Miss Jewett made a hery speech, in
which she denounced the whites Of
New Orleans in unmeasured terms and
declared that she would head q cru
SADIE. against them. Excitement ran
high, and one of the speakers, the Rev.
b. w. Farris, exclaimed: If Robert
Charles could hold 1000 people at bay.

the audience who, he declared, was a
former slave holder in New Orleans.
This started a panic during which all
of the whites and half Of the negroes
left the church. but the negroes re-
turned when quiet had been restored.
When the news Of this meeting
reached New Orleans the Green Turtle
club, which is a representative south
ern club of over 100 members. was
stirred to great anger. In a few days
sbe received a letter ~postmarked New
Orleans. It read:
I'VE would give $1,000 reward for
your scalp in preference to any negro
in your congregation. You may be
white in the eyes Of Boston people, but
in our eyes you are blacker than Rob-
,ert Charles. We therefore invite you
ito come down. Our members are anx-
iously awaiting your arrival to get,the
prize that is offered for your head"
This was signed Members Green
Turtle club, No. 1912 Annette street,
New Orleans, La" The whole thing
started in the southern city as a joke,
but the Boston people took the matter
seriously and now the Green Turtle
members are in earnest and say they
propose to stand back of their words.
The letter to Miss Jewett further says:
Seeing that you threaten to come
to New Orleans with a mob of 10000
persons, we invite you to come Is the
blacks. Joan Of Arc, and we assure you
that your band Of crusaders would get
killed in less time than 1t took Charles
to kill the police officers" That this
is seriously meant is shown by the
fact that these words were duly en-
tered on the clubs minutes.

While scouting the banks Of East
lake, Georgia, in search OF q break
fast n morning = big king snake ran
plump into, q rattlesnake four feet
long, whose dimensions should have
forced g retreat, according TO all recog-
nized rules Of warfare, but whose fat
proportions promptly suggested a gor-
geous feast to the hungry ruler Of
reptiles. $a
Mike, McDermott, q farmers lad,
from . clump Of berry bushes near by
saw the chance meeting Of the two
snakes and observed the fierce prize
fight which followed. He had been
picking berries on the banks Of the
lake and looked up just as the scaly
fellows raised their heads to make the
customary polite bow preliminary to
the engagement. They were in. q first
rate prize ring formed by a sandy
clear spot among the bushes.
Mike says the king snake looked.
surprised when he saw the rattler pre-
pairing for defense. Slowly and with
extreme caution the rattler raised his
head until half Its body was in the
air. Then Il. stood rigid, as II expect
ing an attack, but determined to ward
It OF. The king, three feet long, cir
cled around the RATHER several times,
drawing nearer with each round.
When the king had narrowed the
circle to q diameter OF a foot he. too,
suddenly raised his head, and body in.
the air and stood facing his adversary.
For several seconds they glared at
each other in this attitude.
Then the RATHER poked his tongue
out at the king, an indignity beyond
the limits Of princely endurance. The
king very promptly resented the in
suit BY darting forward like a flash
and hooking his neck around the neck
Of the impudent rattlg. Then the bat
tie was on In earnest. The RATHER was
fighting for his life. the king for his
breakfast.
4 They fell from their lofty attitude
and rolled In the sand. They made no
sound as they twisted and writhed and
whirled and squeezed. Now the rat
tier was making fierce pecks at the
king With his fangs; then the king
had the rattler by the back Of the neck,
but lost the strange hold as the stout
diamond back heaved and squirmed;
all the while the lower parts Of both
bodies are twined like strands of vari-.
colored rope.

fought, Mike McDermott says. At
