Stray Thoughts,
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, June 7. A Susquehan
na teamster was on Tunsday a wit
ness to n singular encounter between
a buzzard nnd a rattlesnake. While
driving his team to a rocky point
near Starucca he heard a peculiar
shriek given by an eagle engaged in
contest with one of Its kind. Alight
ing fiom his wagon, the teamster dis
covered, nearby, nn engle battling
with a rattlesnake fully live feet in
length. Tho carcass of a dead lamb
lay on the ground, and tho eagle had
evidently been feeding on it when it
dlscoveied tho snake, which, no doubt,
hnd been basking In tho sun on a
rock. The engle, with ItB large, blood
red eyes almost dilating from its
sotkets, nnd wings half extended,
would wait for the miake to coll and
strike, and then eluding Its stroke
with wonderful dexterity, would dart
nt Its antagonist, nnd batter it with
wings and talons before it could re
coll ngaln, nnd would then retract
and wait for another opportunity to
attack. The flght was waged In this
manner until the snake, torn nnd lac
erated, stretched out lifeless, but tho
eagle seized It with Its claws, and,
with a shriek of victory, flew away
w'th its prize.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT.
When tho accounts of a Susquehan
na county township trensurer were
found short, there wns the usunl ex
citement and the usual number of
theories were advanced as to how he
had used the money.
'Gentlemen," said tho supervisor, "I
know where the money went to, and
I have no pity In my heart for such
a rascal."
"Did he gamble?"
"Oh, no."
"Speculate In wheat?"
"No."
"Go Into mining stocks?"
"Never owned n share In his life."
"Must have gone Into horse rac
ing." "I think not. No, gentlemen, he was
too deep a rascal for that. Tho de
signing villain has Invested that
money In buying patent lights, nnd
tho most valuable of tho dozen Is i
machine to punch the worm holes out
of harvest apples."
FLOTSAM AND JETSAM.
