THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1901. '71 NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA BATTLE OF REPTILES WHITNEY DESCRIBES A GUEEB CONFLICT AT LANESBORO. Vigorous Opposition to tho Order to Remove tho Orphans' School from Harford-ThrillinB Talo of Littlo August Schmidt's Battlo with the Arnorican Bird of Froodom News Told Briof Fnragraphs. Special to the Scranton Trlbun?. Rusniifhannn. Atif?. 6. Near the C.innunrtn ctcok. In Lanosboro, a water snako mot a block snake- on Monday. Tho toptllrs did not Immedi ately clinch, hut hissed tlercely and clrclerl around each other, as If seek ing for an opening. The water snake was murh tho smaller of the combat ants, and he was evidently trying to transfer the battle to the stte.im. some twenty yards away. TMe bl.ick snake showed a lively anxiety to prevent this. He pressed matters and the i-eipents began to strike at each other, and In a few seconds the dry land snake suc ceeded In getting th tall of his op ponent Into his mouth, mid. to preclude all ) sslblllty of an osmpo, began to eat nwarcl the bead. This was oMu'tly what the water snake wanted. It st.irted on a straight line for the stream and bis consumer following him and diving upon him simultaneously, was, of course, obliged to' travel a little faster In tho same direction. The water snake was a rapid mover, and the black nake a quick eater, and for a sdiort time It seemed to be doubtful whether one loptlle or two would be visible when the stream was gained. About half of the leading soipeiit'a anatomy had been devoured, and the edge of the water was only a few feet nwa-y when the black snake suddenly realized that a shabby trick was being played upon liim at meal time. He hastily attempted to dlsgnige his le past, but the effort was nude too late. Not moie than the Inches of water snake bad been yielded up when both reptiles plunged into the slieam and sank at once. A hundred bubble arose, and the only spectator of this uncanny contest believes that the black snnkc'H life floated to the surface In one of them. THK SHOUT OK IT.
