BULL SNAKE WAS A
REGULAR STACKER
PROVED A GROVER BERGDOLL
WHEN RATHER DECLARED
WAR--BUILD BATH HOUSES.
(From Kendrick Gazette)

The snake fight which took place
on the ball grounds Tuesday proved
to be a very peaceable affair. A
rattlesnake was brought in from the
Cedar Creek country the first of the
week. The promoters of the fight
already had two bull snakes. Widely
divergent opinions were expressed as
to the outcome of the fight.
At six o'clock Tuesday evening the
reptiles were escorted to the ball park
with automobiles, a ring was formed
and the smaller of the two bull snakes
turned loose with the rattler. Instead
of fight it apparently was renewal
of friendly relations.
The snakes snuggled up to each
other and were the best of friends.
Even the rattler seemed to be in good
humor.
The big bull snake was called into
the ring. He was nearly six feet long
and almost twice the size of the rat
tier. He didn't create a favorable
impression for the rattler showed
fight at once, but the bull snake was
evidently a conscientious objector and
refused to fight at any price. The
rattler struck him twice, sinking his
fangs deep into the flesh. The SYM
pathy of the crowd was with the bull
snake so the rattler was executed and
bull snake turned loose apparently
none the worse from his two wounds.
Build Bath Houses
Kendrick has a splendid swimming
pool but until this week there were no
dressing rooms close by. To remedy
this condition Mrs. Macpherson and
Mrc LOT
list around town and soon had enough
ing rooms. Monday evening the men
who are interested in swimming, built |
the dressing rooms close to the bank |
of the pool. A new spring board was
also furnished so that anyone who en-
joys a good swim may have it with
all the fittings. Those who come from
a distance to the Fourth of July cele-
bration should bring their bathing
suits.
Walter McCrea, Elmer Bechtol and
Ralph Knepper spent the week end
fishing in Bull Run creek near Elk
River Unfortunately Game Warden
Brooks was also fishing along the
banks of the creek, so the Kendrick
party had to be satisfied with the
limit of so each. Mr.. Brooks stated
last Sunday that he had inspected
fifteen fish baskets in the Elk River
country that day and found the game
avs were being observed in regard to
The size of fish caught and most
anglers had a wide margin to spare ]
without breaking the law as it applies
% the limit.
