Allentown, Pa, Sept. 9-General
Manager Hall, Of the Lehigh Valley
Transit Company, has returned from
a trip to the mountains, where he
saw a terrific and interesting combat
to the death between a blacksnake
and a rattlesnake. The latter was
colled up In the road, It's rattles
sounding like an electric buzzer, and
evidently much disturbed,
The next minute q big blacksnske
darted out Of the woods alongside,
and, with q lightning movement,
commenced to glide In circles around
the RATHER. The latter all the time
kept turning It's head, trying to keep
an eye on Its enemy.
Finally the rattlesnake made a
spring for It's antagonist and struck
at 1t, but missed. There was q black
streak, and the next second the
blacksnake had tied itself into q
knot below the head OF the RATHER.
The fight which ensued lasted fully
ten minutes and the gravel fairly
few, and then the RATHER gave q few
convulsive quivers, and 1t was all
over.
