JOE BRITTAIN WITNESSES
FIGHT BETWEEN SNAKES
Joe Brittain is not a man to say!
much nor boast of achievements, but i
will occasionally talk and tell some- !
tiling worthwhile. Some time ago. he
witnessed a fight betw’een a king!
snake and a rattle snake ln the yard :
near hls home Both snakes sparred I
for openings and when the rattler1
w,ts caught off guard, the king .snake
made a spring and grabbed the ra-
tier by the back of tiie neck, if it can
be .said a snake htu. the back of a
neck
The ratter was twice as thick as
tlie king. The latter began winding
himself around the rattier, and then 1
heg.in pulling and stretching out the
rwflsrV body, from a point, about I
half he length, never letting to on •
hK hold -d. the neck, until the rat- <
tier';, body was no! much thicker j
than a man’s ringer. Then when the •:
rattler rated to strucgle. the king 1
brifati hi ream, beginning with ;he •{
rat’lf v hewd and within an hour 2
had . tllowed the rattler. Never kill j,
