Fiddler Sam Needham, of Great
Bend township, Susquehanna county,
Pa, who has considerable local fame,
played solo under remarkable cir
cumstances.
He was vending his way toward a
farmhouse along a narrow mountain
road, which at one point winds around
a sharp spur. AS he reached the
spur he heard the warning noise of a
rattlesnake. Looking up, he saw a
big rattler directly in his path. He
turned to run back, when from the
weeds at the side of the road another
rattler rose up and there was not room
to safely pass the snake. In his di-
lemma he backed up against ledge
of rock and gazed spellbound at the
reptile. Then an inspiration came to
him. He remembered to have heard
of Eastern magicians charming snakes
from its box he began to play the
weirdest air at his command. Pres
emily the snakes gradually uncoiled
themselves and began to slide slowly
toward him, obviously attracted by
the music. Needham's impulse was
to drop his violin and flee, but he re-
allied that that might be fatal, so he
stood his ground and continued to
ply his bow. Nearer and nearer
drew the rattlers, until they had
reached point within two feet of
the terrified fiddler, when they coiled
again and lifted their heads threaten
ingly.
Then Sans nerves gave away and,
with a yell, he struck out with his
violin, bringing it down with crush
ing force on the reptiles, stunning
them. Before they could recover
Sam grabbed up a rock and killed
them. His beloved fiddle was a
wreck, but it had saved his life.
