A Tall Snake Story.
While (liner Ludlow, who ha* in exten
sive farm near l-awrenecburg, lnd., wan en
gaged with fever*! amistanu in hauling in
to hi* liam* hit crop of wheal, and while
lifting a shook of wheat to Die grain rark
lie uncovered a large red blow adder at
least two feet In Uaigth. TV mirier was
fullof fight when it heiu-ld ail mlvrrsary,
and stndghtway Isrgan to blow. I.urilow
planted hi* foot nti the reptile, and afttr
running a title of hi* fork Ihrmigh il called
for Ids teamster to drive- lit* wagon over it.
I’lh- teamster obey-d, and when the wheel
of t lie heavy loadisl warn at rested on the Issly
of the scr|H-iit Ludlow again sghu-d the er
pent with his fork line, this time din-etly
through his head. I'arelesaly Hinging the
ophidian specimen off hla fork, Mr. Lud
low then proceeded to Dm; latrn to unload
Die grain. On Ilm return to the wheat
field, and on lifting another shock uf wheat
near where he had the tight with the snake,
what was his horror at again finding him
self fuuing the identical stmkeshlp, which,
smarting, no doubt, under his wounds, ap
peared more vicious than Imfore. Ludlow
watched his opportunity, and again suc
ceeded In getting a fork line clear through
the adder’s head. An asaislant was culled,
and While Ludlow’s fork tine Imd the
snake fastened to the ground, the assistant
pulled the reptile away from Die fork, lliiir
splitting the head into equal pmia. The
adder was then ground into llje dirt w ith it
"boot-heel," strictly in accordance with a
script mill injunction, and left for dead. On
a third return to tin- vicinity of the scene
last enacted, the same tenacious udder
again uncovered from another shock of
wheat, exhibiting ut the satin- time as much
life as la-fore. With the continued efforts
of all the hands the adder was then pound
ed until I line was scarcely enough of it h '
to quiver.
A few hours later Air. Ludlow- narrated
ills adventure to a curiosity-hunter mid di
rected him plainly to the spot where the
mangled tiiasa was left. The hunter re
paired to tin- spot and made dllllgcnt search
for Dm remains of the adder, lint In vain,
Even the pieces had crept off. [('inriiumtti
