: Dead Rattler Deadly.
CaliBtoga Cal. Nov. 4. Bitton
by tho head of a ratilosnako
whioh had boon soverod from its
body by a ohargo of buokshot
W. H. Roberts elootion commis-
sioner of San Franoisoo diod in
horrible agony thirty-six hours
after the dooapitatod and appar-
ently lifeless reptile sank its
fangs in his hand.
Roberts with friends oamo
hero on a hunting trip last week
and enroute enoountered a rat-
tler whioh one of his companions
shot with a gun dividing the
shake in three parts. After it
had ceased to writhe Roberts
pioked up the head of the snake
and immediately after gave a
ory of pain. The deadly fangs
had fastened themselves in his
hand probably as the result of a
musoular contraction. The
snake's head after its last effort
made no further move.
Referring to the above dispatoh
The Reporter calls attention to
the fact that tho poison fangs of
a rattler will kill months after the
death of the reptile.
When a boy we knew of a oase
in point.
A young man was bitten
through a boot leg by a rattler
and died from the effects.
' Months afterwards his brother
put on the boots and when he did
so felt a scratch on the ankle.
Thinking nothing of it ho went
on about the work. In a few
hours his ankle began to swell
and when a physioian was oalled
he found it was too late to save
his life.
An examination of the boot
Bhowed a poison fang Btioking
through to tho inside the same
that caused the death of the
brother being left in tho boot
when the reptile struck his first
victim.
