He hatless and bleeding from body and feet from the effect of briars and thorns. Nearly 20 Years Old, One day last week Curtin Lose and Abe Dougherty were out near what is known as the sand spring, in Nippe- nose valley, for huckleberries, and as they were busily engaged at picking they came across a rattlesnake that seemed to be of unusual size. After the reptile was killed it was found to contain sixteen rattles and the body was as thick as an ordinary man’s arm. According to this the snake was nearly twenty years old. If any one can beat that we would be glad to hear from them. saris ff e— A Badly Seared Bear, The Osceola Leader tells of a story now going of a Philipsburg girl who, while picking raspberries, met a bear among the briars, She turned to run and tore her dress on a briar so as to expose her patent wire bustle. The bear, mistaking the bustle for a circus cage, struck for tall timber, leaving the girl to go without hugging.
