SUNDRY SNAKE 8TORIK8. 1 One of a party of miners encamped on the banks of the Gunnison river, Colorado, told this story to a corres pondent for th 8t Louie Republic: We had been prospecting for gold with decide ily poor sreceks, and we therefore rather disheartened, bat wo endeavored to keep up our spirits by telliog stories while we lay about the campflre and smoked.' Suddenly we were started by a peculiar whir ring sound, which every man of ua recognized instantly. "There's a rattler in eampl" cried Jeffre as he started op. "Look nut for it!" We all moved rather hastily with the exception of Bolton, who lay quite still on his back, bis bands un der his head, his cob pipe having fallen from his teeth. " 'Shi" he whispered. For heaven's sake keep still! That snake has crawled into my shirt!" We knew what that meaut, and we became motionless Instantly. I felt a thrill of horror run down my spine as I thought of the prisonous reptile oaggled to Bolton's oosom, in which it might plant its deadly fangs in a few moments. The firerlng firelight threw fasastie shadows on the black oanyon wall, and the river murmured sullenly. Away in the night a lone owl hooted. Not a muscle of Bolton's body moed and it seemed that he hd ceased to breathe The only motion apparent about his person was caused by the snake crawling beneath his shirt. We sat there staring end help less, unable to matte a move to save our Imperiled comrad". After a time the rattler thrust bis ugly head out of the opening in the front of Bol ton's shirt, lifting it over the motion less man's face. We could see the rep tile's forked tongue darting out and his eyes glittering, while his head waved from side to side. Still Bolton remained motionless, knowing that the slightest action on his part might seal his fate. We could see he was white as a corpse. Jim Nevans, the best pistol shot of our party, drew his revolver, pressing on the trigger as he cocked it so it might not click. The snake's head was within tlx inches of Bolton's eyes, ana it seemed that the veno mous creature might strike at any moment. "Shall I shoot, Dave ?" softly asked Nevans. "Shoot 1" was the only word Bol ton uttered. The cocked revolver was Blowly lifted and every man held his breath. The weapon spoke, and the bullet cut the rattlesnake s head from its body. Like a flash Dave Bolton leaped to his feet, tore the beheaded reptile from bis bosom and flung it into the Are Then he sank down helpless, almost fainting, great drops of perspiration standing on his face. But be had displayed pure nerve.
