"SNAKE KING" IS
DEAD AT II YEARS
Natural Death Comes to Man
Who Handled Thousands of
Poisorsus Reptiles.
RAN A WHOLESALE BUSINESS
BalIscheit Was Wont to Declare That
the RattIesnake Was Much Misunder-
.stood-UnIess -Molested 1t Mould
Not Strike Ordinarily

San Antonio, TeX.-JuliuS Il. Ball
scheit. siventy-one, known to the world
of the circus and museum as ''The Rat
tlesnake King" is dead at the home OF
his daughter, Mrs. Emma Braun, in
San Antonio. Although he had handled
literally hundreds of thousands OF
snakes in a long career, his death was
q natural one.
Ballscheit was a native of Germany
but came to Texas when a young man
and at first engaged in farming. 1t
was purely by accident that he started
in the snake business, it is said. a
medicine show was in Helotes, small
settlement in Bexar county and offered
So for a rattlesnake. Ballscheit never
had caught RATHER, but going out with
a long stick at the end Of which was a
forked prong he soon found a large
snake, pinned it's head to the earth
then picked it up, threw 1t in sack
and carried it to the show man.
From that day forward Ballscheit
caught rattlers for a living and liter
ally has caught single-handed thou
sands Of the reptiles. The rattlers are
one Of the great natural crops OF south
west Texas.

snake catching. When they made a
catch they were certain to find mar
ket with the Snake King"
Mr.. Ballscheit was wont to declare
that the rattlesnake was much misun-
derstood. Unless the reptile was
molested it would not strike ordinarily,
but would escape from the vicinity of
threatened danger. If a rattler is
startled it will strike and in the skin
shedding season. when the reptile is
blind, anything approaches at its peril,
for the snake lashes out at every noise.
Belonging to the viper family, the
rattler's young are born, not Matched
as in the case of many other reptiles,
and references to rattlesnake eggs,
sometimes seen, are due to mistaking
the eggs of some other snake for those
Of the deadly rafting viper or to ma
ture taking. The female gives birth
sometimes to litters of as many as
dozen vigorous little reptiles in the
early spring, and they emerge into the
world fully equipped with poison sacs
and fangs, capable of Staying man or
beast from the day of their birth on.
Warns Before Striking.
'srhe rattlesnake is a gentleman. He
always gives due warning before he
strikes" Mr.. Ballscheit explained re
Gently. "In shedding season when he
cannot hunt because of blindness, his
hunger and sightlessness makes the
RATHER a mean customer. Sometimes
he will sound warning, but generally
not, and he will strike at any noise
during that period
Mr.. Balscheit was not afraid Of rat
tiers and the larger they were, and
therefore the more dangerous, the bet
ter he liked them, for rattlers sell BY
the pound and not by length as the un-
initiated might imagine.
When the demand for.the live snakes
proved slack, the snakes still proved
profitable to Mr.. Ballscheit. who killed
them and cured the hides for use In
leather goods such as belts, hatbands,
fobs and purses, the skins being soft
and pliable when properly tanned. The
carcasses are rendered for the fat,
which is highly esteemed for lotions,
ointments and for use as treatment
for rheumatic affections. The venom
also is useful in science and in the
of drugs.
While many of the snakes sold by |
'the Snake King" went to the pur-
.hasers with their poison fangs intact, |
he majority had their fangs extracted |
before they were shipped. The ex- |
traction of fangs is accomplished by |
getting the snake to strike at a heavy |
piece of silk. The fangs become en-
angled in the texture Of the goods and
! quick, strong pull accomplishes the
lental work.
