The Governor arrived in Denver

CT. CHARLES, ILL.,, Sept. 16.-
~ Man has interviewed to halt
natures life and death drama,
after an epic struggle of twenty
six days.
The garter snake which has
won nation wide fame in his los
ing battle to fight free from the
web of a black spider, where he
has been a captive since Aug q,
has been snstched from the ten
tacles of death.
Hundreds of visitors f1ocked
again to the pumphouse of the
city water system here, to be told,
Shows over" The spider spins
on, waiting for a new victim, and
the snake, weak and emaciated,
has gone far, far away to re-
cuperate.
For three weeks the pumphouSe
has been thronged with visitors,
watching the struggle Caught in
the web, the victim has fought
desperately to Squirm free of the
web which his captor tirelessly
has spun about his wriggling head
and body.
BY infinitesimal fractions, the
bones have been frightened and it
was only a question of time Until
the spider should end the life of
his prisoner.
NEWS of the struggle spread
IN far and wide. Scores came
every day from other towns in this
vicinity to view it. Then the
Chicago Humane Education So
ciety stepped in.
In letter to Mayor I. G. Lam
gum the society protested against
the spectacle, citing the statutes
of Illinois.
So the mayor, weakening under
pressure, in the stiffness of the
early morning hours today, slipped
into the pufnphouse and shipped
the web with scissors. At least,
the town folk believ it was the
mayor, though others say they
saw two of the city fathers enter
the pumphouse Thursday night.
The snake was freed out of
sympathy" said Langum. He
could not have won. It was just
question of time until lack of
nourishment would have meant
his death. The spider had es-
tablished his supremacy, so there
was no reason to continue the
unequal fight"
