; Mr.. Amos jjSidberry;, of Onslow coun
ty, arirvedi'n the city last night about
9 o'clock with a; cart, load of',' harms,
eggs ,. and i nbhickensi. While coming
along the' Newbern road near Mr. Os
car Pearsall's place, ie was startled by
t he f ominous rattle . iof a rattlesnake.
He thought it was in the road and hur
ried over 1 the spot, but . the -rattling
started up jagain ;after he had gone a
100 yards.; Her located the sounxl in his
cam and was satisfied that he had. a
snake as . a passenger. . When.- he -got
under the electric ligrht at Twelfth and"
Market streets, he cautiously examined !
the bed of his carfc and found a rattle
snake about four and a half feet long:
The cart wheel had passed over It and
nearly cut .it In two about five inches
back of its head. - It 'did not take him
long to get a stick and; get rid of the
ugly customer. If was nearly dead,
but still had some use of its body from
the cut place out .to' the tail. He
doesn't think the snake could have used
iits head in-making a Strike, but he took
no chances. j 1 -' :
fi i He is satisfied the snake was craw.-'
ing across the rOad and, that the wfeel
of the cart ran' over. him. - It dotfbtless
wrapped its icolls around : .he Wheel
when It struck him, and as the wheel
turned over the snake fell into, the
bed- ot the cart.
11 Mr, Sidbury I says ? she' had almost a
similar experience 'several- years ; ago,
and he begins to think he is in bad
luck; That fime he jwas in a- buggy
and drove s over a fsnake that wrapped
itself around! the wheel one Hay and
Iwhirted past j him -several times as- he
sat in the buggy, before he could' stop
