BATTLE WITH SNAKES
Deadly Struggle That Occurred Be.
tween Blaoksnake and copperhead.

The combative nature Of the black
snake often gets it into trouble with
other reptiles, and many hard
fought battle has been silently waged
In the field or woods. away from hui
man eyes but no harder fight between
two snakes has ever been witnessed
than was the one Jacob Dellnger. of
Half Way Washington county, saw
between a six foot blacksnake and a
large copperhead down in the neck"
a few days ago. While driving along
the road near the old schoOlhouse on
the Falling Waters Road, Mr.. Dellin-
gers attention was attracted by al
unusual noise on the edge OF the
wood behind a brush pile. He stop
ped to investigate, and as he drew
closer to the noise he was fascinated
with what he saw.
A blacksnake Of unusual length and
a copperhead were in mortal combat.
and the quick movements of the rep
tiles swept the grass and leaves like
the fury OF a storm. The blacksnaxe
was the aggressor and pushing the
fight hard. The copperhead had all 1t
could do TO defend itself from the
lrushes Of its antagonist. and. rearing
like mad bull. the copperhead made
repeated thrusts at the blacksnake to
fasten its poisonous fangs i'm the
black, sinuous body. failing in each at

How Ions the snakes had been
fighting before Mr.. Dellinger arrived
upon the scene he does not know. but
he stood and watched them for twenty
minutes racing back and forth in the
tactics were to rush around the cop
perhead which was kept going around
/ in a small circle. and occasionally the
blacksnaSe would grab at its antag-
onist and miss a hold. until finally the
iblacksnake succeeded. and like flash
wrapped the copperhead like a spring
closing and crushing Il 10 death. When
the last CULVER in the body Of the cop
perhead had ceased the biacksnake

ace will be ready for the opening day,

the week Governor Samuel II. Elrod will
be present and deliver the dedicatory ad-
dress for the new corn palace building,

Wolsey. and another from Gettysburg to
connect with the Milwaukee train at Red
field.
The corn palace building is fast ap-
preaching completion in the carpenter
work and the decorations. The building is
125xl42 feet in dimension. and its srchl-
tectural design makes II an ideal structure
to decorate with corn, and vast quantities
Of the grain have been used in the hand
some designs that already cover the sur
face. The harmonious effects and the
blending OF the colored ears have wrought
something beautiful to look at. The in
terror OF the building will be lighted with
1000 incandescent lights, and these have
been strung over the numerous mammoth
arches and girders in the great structure
so that the electrical illumination of itself
will be quite a big feature.
