» young of the monster. Encounters With the Snake. Wilmington Gazette. Delaware City has another sensation, and this time it is one that-is posi- tively startling if the story told is true. There can be no doubt, how ever, of its correctness, inasmuch as it is vouched for by James Cheese man, said to be ‘ta gentleman b yond reproach and of unimpeacha- ble character.” That gentleman states while driving leisurlely along the road from Delaware City to St. George’s on Tuesday morning last, he was suddenly startled, when on} the St. Georg’s causway, near | Dragon Creek, by the appearance | of a large reptile coming down the road directly toward him at a rapid | vace. As the moving mass ap-| -woached he discovered it was a nuge black snake, at least twenty feet long and about a toot in diama- ter, as near as could be judged by) the hurried glance he gave the ‘*var- | mint.*’ Before the lothsome creat- ure reached him he gave his horse a cut with a whip just as the snake made a jump forthe animal. The horse sprang to one side and start- ed on a dead run, apparently terribly frightened. The snake missed its aim, but struck the tront wheel of the carriage a stunning blow, break- | ing out nearly every spoke and | making the vehicletremble and cant | dangerously to one side. Mr. Cheesman did not succeed in stop- ping his horse until it had run about a mile, when he looked back but saw nothing of the horrible reptile, which he describes as being cover-' ed with large scales. Charles: Brown and his wife, while black-berrying in the same vicinity last week, were chased by the same } immense creature, but by dint of | hard running they succeeded in gain- ing a place ot shelter. The existence of the snake is weil | known, and a gentleman who does not care from modesty, to have hi name appear, very reluctant'y gives | an experience he passed through about ten days ago. He started out black-berrying in the marshes along the banks of Dragon Creek, | carry- with him also a shotgun, Feeling tired about noon he concluded to rest awhile, and began to make his way to an old log. as he thought, about twenty feet distant, to take a | seat. Upon approaching to what he | believed a fallen tree the object | moved slightly, when he discovered | it was not alog butan immense snake, on which were rattles about the size of soup plate Instinctive- ly he fled as rapidly as the nature of the ground would « permit, leaving his gun behind. Finding he was not pursued he glanced back and | saw his snakeship moying slowly away, snd although he beheves he saw the middle of the creature first. it was fully five minutes before the tail passed through the bushes. A cracking noise tollowed in the | wake of the snake, and small trees shook us the creature’s tail swayed from side to side. Gaining courage the Gazette intormant secured his gun and started after the snake, | which had disappeared in the woods. | Atter traveling about a - mile, the hunter came in sight of the trunk of an old hollow oak about fifty teet high and two teet in diamater, from the top ot which protruded the | head of the “‘awfulest thing IT ever | saw,’’ as our informant remarked Its head was about the size of a nail keg, and ota glossy black color, its forked Jtongue shooting out veno-| mously fully a toot, accompanied } by a hissing sound resembling es- caping steam trom a _ locomotive. The hunter took aim and fired, the load ot shot striking the. snake the shooter thinks, about two | feet from the head. The lead failed | to make any impression, put droop- | ed tothe ground flattened out. Aj shot from the second barrel resulted the same way. The lest report seemed, however to anger the snake, | and it started out of the top of the} tree, its fire-like eyes gleaming in! the sunlight. The man atonce left, | looking around when some distance | ott and seeing the leathsome creat- | ure slowly letting itself down by the tail to the bround, while around‘ the top of the tree appeared the heads of numerous small snakes— perhaps a hundred—evidently the The now thoroughly trightened berry-gatherer fled Precipifately, ‘and not until Mr. Cheesman’s. ey perience became known did he tell} of his adventure, which of - course will to be taken cum &rano salis.~ The existence ot a huge snake in| he vicinity mentioned has been | known for some years, and it. is on} record that Henry and ~ William | Carson, sons of John Carson, were at One time chased home while out} pyerrying.
