BATTLE WITH A TURTLE. - A New York traYelling sale, man .named Fry stopped a few days at a farm honse near Star Emd,;one of the 250 mountain kes of Wayne county, Penh. One day he rowed out to the middle of the pond to fish for pickerel. Suddenly he felt a strong tug at" his line, and shortly afterward a large snap ping turtle came slowly to the surface by the side of the boat. When the turtle saw; the fish erman it turned to dive down again, and Fry grabbed it by the taO. With great difficulty he lifted it into the boat His hook was fastened in under the turtle's foreshoulder, it havinsr accidentally h o o k e d itself. The turtle no sooner found its elf a prisoner in the boat then it turned on Fry. Raising on all fours, it shot out its ereat head. and advanced with open jaws upon the hsherman He re treated to the bow of the boat, and the turtle followed him Fry then Jumped over the tur tle and ran to the stern.- The turtle-chased1 him and would pot-permit him to rest a second in any one spot, but kept him. jumping and running from one ena. qi ine ooat to another, Fry had nothing to defend him self with, as the paddle with which the boat was propelled be liad use4 ill aiding him in getting the turtle into the boat, and he had thoughtlessly let it lie in the foter, .;and it had drifted out of reach. Fry shouted lustily for help. The wife of the farmer with whom he was stopping was the only one at home, and she heard his cries, and put out in a leaky uat-pottom boat to his rescue By the time she reached his boat hers had several inches of water in it, and it was entirely out of the question for it to be used in safety to carry them back to the shore. Fry's boat was anchored by a large stone tied to the end of a, loug rope. The farmer's wife jumped into his boat and began pulling up the anchor with the intention of dropping' it on the turtle. Before tne anchor reached the surface it slipped from the noose iu the rope and sank to the bottom. The turtle had kept up its chase of Fry, but, on seeing the woman in the boat, turned its attention to her. As it approached her she struck at it wit n the rope. It caught the rope in its mouth, and as a snapping turtle never releases its hold on anything it- seizes with its mouth, even if the head is severed from the body, the farmer's wife wound the rope tight about the boat in the bow, and the turtle ws. secured. The boat was paddled ashore and the turtle dragged out on the land by tbe rope. Its head was, sooa afterward chopped from its body with an axe. The next evening Fry took a train for New York. . lie car ried the bead of the turtle by, a piece of the rope which, was stUi held in, the mojtfT head had been, separated from the- body-over thirty hours, but was still alive, the eyes roiling and glaring fiercely when any one approached it. The turtle was tne largest one ever seen in the remon, its weight being 47 pounds, the head alpnd weighing nearly teiN A BANG, AND, A SJJCK Depvtiog I, had. cliprl a curl That, if.sr bei tirrw did bang She, smiling, aaid: Ycre tike a gun.
