He was overcome in a battle with
a huge boar, which would have killed
him had not a farmland fired d shot
that broke the reptiles neck.
Big Jim became hungry. and his
hunger led to his death. He wished
to feast on pig, and a huge boar
thwarted his desire Last Monday
John BascOmb, an employee on the
farm of W H Thompson, in the south
western part of Sullivan county, heard
commotiOn near the pig pen, and
wnen he reached the place he saw a
boar fighting an enormous rattle
snake.
The boar had its mouth so fastened
on the snakes read that its fangs
could not be used. The giant reptile
was thrashing its body backward and
forward, attempting to get out of the
clutches of its antagonist, but the
boar held on, feet braced apart. while
BascOmb ran to the farm mousse ana
got thirty-two caliber rife.
BY the time BaScOmb got back to
the pen the other hogs there seemed
to have discovered that something
was wOrng and were trying to help
the big boar in his fight They jumped
on the body of the snake, as it wrig-
gled about. and tried to stamp out
its life. BaScomb entered the pen and
got a good shot at the snake, break
ing its neck.
The boar had not been struck by
the snake, and is in good shape after
its fight
The snake was skinned and meas
