Big Snake a Suicide.

Two cats and thousands of red
ants caused a diamond rattler to
commit suicide in order to escape
his tormentors on a homestead
near Silver Lake, Ore. The same
battle demonstrated that a cat is
quicker than a reptile, and also
that the feline species takes no
risk when tormenting a poison
GUS snake. The bite of the red
ant, as severe as that of the hon.
ey bee, but less poisonous, COM
pletely unnerved the buzz-tail
reptile
The rattler, it appears, was
flushed in the sage brush by two
cats owned by a homesteader. 1t
started to zig-zag between the
brush, but the cats bounced upon
it's singing tail. The angered
snake turned quickly and struck
but the cats were gone. Again
the race started. Then one cat
crouched ahead to attract atten-
ton and the other bounced on
the tail. After many stops the
frenzied snake started through
the brush on high gear. The race
led to an ant hill, and in its eff
forts to escape the snake tried
to squeeze into the small holes
used by the ants.
Thousands of ants instantly
resented the intrusion and join
the attack of the feline forces.
The little insects swarmed over
the buzzing, Kissing intruder.
