BATTLE WITH HOOPSNAKE.
Indiana Man Has an Exciting Expe-
rience on Peaceful Country
Road in Hoosierdoom.

John Hess, a retired farmer residing
In Columbia City, Ind, had a battle
with a hoop snake that was exciting,
to say the least. Mr.. Hess and wife
had been out to their farm, four miles
east Of the city, in Union township.
After passing along the road a short
distance on their way home, the horse
shied at something in the road, which,
upon investigation, Mr. Hess discov-
cred to be large snake, jet black in
color. He got out of the buggy, and,
securing a large limb. started to give
his snakeship battle. The snake, later
found to be a hoop snake, reared its
head about four feet from the ground
and started for Mr.. Hess. That gen.
tleman swung the club for It's head,
and was so successful that he hit IT
across the neck, breaking It. When
the battle was over, and the snake
stretched out, it was found to meas
ure over four feet in length This is
the first hoop snake that has been seen
in this country for years. This one
was killed right on the edge of some
swamp land, and Mr.. Hess thinks that
