Even when he sleeps Rattlesnake
keeps his eyes wide open. That is
the reason that snakes never shut
their eyes.
Well, just as soon as Thunderbird
catches sight of Rattlesnake, he
flies right at him as swift as ever
he can.
He tries his best to get close up
and stick his.big sharp claws into
him before he knows il. and has
time to coil up. For a snake can
never bite very well until he makes
his body look like a pile of hoops.
So. Ratttesnake always sees Thun-
derbird coming. and he gets ready
for him.

enough. he just draws back his
head, and as he. strikes at him he
opens his mouth and tries to stab
Thunderbird with his long hooked
teeth which are covered with poison.
But Thunderbird he lodges away

Sometimes the fight is awful.
Thunderbird he just grabs. and

 There were fl persons in the launch, one being rescued, according to po- lice reports.

 Michael Marshall, railroad brake man. who put out in a small boat from shore hoping to effect rescues, said he was told by a navy officer that from 25 to 50 sailors were in the launch and that all except two had been saved.
 An investigation by naval officers to determine the exact number of the drowned and their identity was order ed as soon as the news of the accident was received.

STRIKERS AND POLICE
 BATTLE IN LAWRENCE
Numerous Shots Are Ex- changed But Aim is Poor
 and None Are Hit.

Lawrence, Mass, April 2S.-Shots were exchanged between the police and strike sympathizers during dis turbances early today. in connection with the strike of textile operatives None of the shots took effect but three policemen were stoned. The most se- riously injured was Daniel Lynch, of Lowell, mounted officer, who was struck in the head and was uncon- scious when other policemen reached him. Two arrests were made.
 Trouble developed near the corner of Elm street some distance from the mill section. Officer Lynch saw a man throw a missile at another policeman and chased him into a doorway and arrested him. '>@
 A crowd of 100 persons gathered and attempted to rescue the prisoner. Lynch fought them off for a time, but during the miXup was felled by a stone and the man escaped. While the attack was at it's height a shot was fired from the window of a house close by and the fire was returned by Lynch. The shooting attracted other officers, who cleared the streets
 Later another disturbance occurred at the corner of Jackson street in which stones were thrown.
 Reports that many of the strikers planned to return to work brought out a large number of pckets, but there was little trouble in the inlme- diate vicinity of the mills.
