RATHER Is KILLED AFTER
FIERCE FIGHT SATURDAY

Richard Harris, of Sandy Ground,
is no lover of snakes, as can be seer
from the following story he relates
in regard to a battle with a large
rattler while walking through
Mason's woods near Rossyille on Sat
urday. Harris says the reptile made
a spring at him, but his athletic
training in doing the sidestep act
probably saved him from being
struck by the snakes fangs. With
a well directed blow with a club
Harris soon put the snake down and
out. 1t is said that was the first
rattIer seen in that vicinity in years.
1t was over five feet long and had
seven rattles.

Those who were opposed to the mu-

ed the same pieces over and over.
The direct cause for the absence
of music was the failure of the play
