NEGRO KILLED BY A SNAKE.


Reptile Crawlsd Down His Throat while
he Slept In Dismal Swamp.
Washington Post.
Suffolk, Va, July 1S.-Word of
q remarkable Dismal Swamp snake
story, the result of which was the
death of Grant Wilkins, negro,
reached here this evening. The
victim was literally choked to death
in his sleep by long black snake.
wilkins, whose home was in North
Carolina, had started through the
swamp alone to look after shingle
timber. The weather being warm,
he sat down by big juniper tree to
refresh himself and fell asleep.
When found Wilkins was dead.
Nearly three feet Of live snake were
protruding from his mouth. By
his side were an empty beer bottle
and sardine box, remnants of his
luncheon. Wilkins neck was
swollen, his eyes protruded, and an
expression of agony was on his face.
1t took the strength of two men to
pull the snake from the corpse. It's
| head and about two feet of the body
were inside. The reptile was killed
It is supposed that Wilkins wa
sleeping with his mouth open and
the snake took it for a hole thai
needed investigation. Another
theory is that the snake was attract
ed by sardines.
