SHEEP KILLED THEIR ENEMY
Ordinarily Timid Animals Worked in
Concert to Stamp Life Out Of
Big Rattlesnake.

One summer morning farmer in
Virginia started out to salt a small
flock of sheep that he had recently
put into billy, overgrown field some
distance from his home. At the pasture
he called for Some time, but seeing
or hearing nothing of the sheep he
walked down toward the middle of the
enclosure and mounted a tall stump
at the edge of the brier patch. From
this point of vantage he could see the
flock on piece of level ground scarce
ly so yards below him.
The sheep were crowded into sway
ing excited circle some 20 feet in d.
ameter.
Presently, while the sheep were
standing still, a big wether made a
spring, landed with his feet in the very
center Of the ring and bounced away
like rubber ball. In flash another
followed his lead, and another, until
all had leaped on the same spot. Then
away they swept down the hill.
Stepping down from his perch, the
farmer made his way to the scene of
this strange performance. By the side
of the trampled brier clump lay the
mangled remains of a big rattlesnake.

SHOE PRICES DUE
FOR A BIG SLUMP

KANE, Pa, Aug. 25.-Shoe prices
are due for big decrease in the
future. So say tanners here.
Marked inactivity in the tanning
industry here continues. Many OF
the plants are entirely shut down,
while a number of others have cur
tailed operations. An over supply
of leather is given as the cause.
There is no indication of an ex-
tensive resumption of tanning" one
tanner said recently. ION the other
hand plants are closing and men are
being laid off every day"
The prices paid for hides has
taken a big slump.
