HOW THAT SNAKE WAS CAUGHT.
- While at a neighbor’s a few week’s ago Mr George W. Fisher, of Independence, Kan., heard a racket out in the kitchen, and lon going but to invest'gate the cause, found that a large rattlesnake had crawled into the kitchen and was fastened in the handle of a jug in the following manner; There were some eggs and a jug on the floor when the snake crawled into the house, and it swa 1 - lowed one of the eggs, and as the jug was lying on its side, had crawled through the handle as far as the egg he had swallowed would admit, and
finding another egg convenient as he crawled through the handle of the jug, swallowed that egg also, and as the egg was too large to pass through the handle of the jug, Mr Snake was fastened so he could neither move forward nor backward, there being an egg inside of him on either side of the jug handle.—Kansas City limes.
