Unpleasant Experience.

Pierre.-The rather unpleasant ex-
perience Of trying to walk barefooted
over the same spot selected by a rat
tlesnake for his location at that mo-
ment was experienced by w. w. Will
son, Midland rancher, recently Will
son heard noise in his room and
sprang out of bed to learn the trouble
landing with one foot on a writhing,
clammy rattlesnake, which at once
got busy. But quick as the venomous
reptile was, Wilson was quicker and
was clear before the snake could
strike. He hurriedly secured light,
only in time to see the snake disap-
pearing through hole in the floor,
where it kept up concert for the
rest of the night after the hole was
plugged, and remained under the floor
until the next day when it was dug
out and killed.
