N )y DAILY BEE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5 TWO SPIDERS FIGAT A DUEL, It Was a Genuine Affair d"Honneur, Seconds and All THE OTHER'S CLAIM. 0l E JUMPED It Was a Struggle to the Death and the Littlo Fellow Conquered— The Graphic Story of an Eye-Witnesses, A big window in the southeast corner of the old warehouse at the head of lake Keula, in this place, is covered, as with a curtain, by spider webs, lie panes of thigwindow are the small squarcs of the old days. A big, oval- bodicd, grayish-brown spider, had his web sprend over the entire suvface of one punecof glass und over all but one emall corner of another. In that corner # plump black spider has his modest but effective trap. The other day the big gpider evidently concluded that he needed more room, says the New York Bun ITe van out a cable that passed across one cdroof the bluck spider's web and fastencd it to the edge of the sash 1 n that pane and the noxt one, This vas quickly followed by mnother, vd one was strung before the hlack spider scemed to wake up to s going on. Then he came out comnerand gave the big spider’s nudacions work a quick inspection, That having evident tisfied him of the in- tontion of the big trespasser, he nipped the three cables apart,one after another, and left them dangling uselessly ifn the air, The little spider, having destroyed the cables, re- Hred to the seclusion of his corner end resumed his watch for flies. The big fellow recovered from his surprise and tmmediately threw another cable across the |ittle one’s web, Out came the little iellmx with & rush and snapped that ul sunder, Four times after that the blg spider strung a cable, and each time the little spider cut it down. The little black fellow tore about in his corner as {tin n towering rare, and while his fury was at its height another spider, with a fong. ugly-looking head and a small body. came down from a pane above the littlo bluck one's corner, This spider {)ninm\ the raging black one, and by and y the latter cooled down, Theé two spiders remained together in apparent ;| confidential intercourse for a few sec onds, and then the spider with the |IiF head darted out upon the brown spider web and followed it to the big fellow don. Then he lingered for a moment, evidently discussing the matter with the big brown spider, and then he darted off again in another direction and brought up ?x' webon the pane above the big spider’s, where another spider hung list- }esm_\. wrapped up in hislong, hairy egs. A short confab took place between the two, and then the -hairy spider dropped down quickly to the big brown spider’s den, and the spider with the big head returned hurriedly to the little black spider’s corner A few seconds after the big-headed spider had returned to the black spider’s corner the two glided out, reached the big brown spider’s web, advanced almost to the center of it, and stopped. The brown .\})idor and his hairy attendant soon afterward emerged from the former’s den and advanced toward the center of the web, stopping within an inch orso of the black spider and his second. Other members of the spider colony must have had intuitive know! edge of what was going on, for spiders of all sizes and shapes came speeding to the scene to get a view of what 5 evi- dently to bea fierce encounter. When the two principalspiders had taken their positicns their respoctive attendants re- tived some distance from them. I the little black syider and his big brown foe rushed together, They struggled o moment, separated, rush together again, and tumbled and tossed one another about until the web on which they fought swayed and bent and broke here and there into ragged Loles. All the while the hairy spider ond the spider with the big head hov- ered frantically each about his princi- El. us if coaching the fighters as to e best advantage, When the battle wes at 1ts height one round-bodied black ider made a rush into the field to take 8 hand in the fight. Before he reached the contestants, however, he was col- Jared by both the hairy spider and the big-heuded bpider, and hustled back into the crovd so quick that he seemed dazed snd remuined perched on the edge of the sash. While this exciting side incident was onguging the attention of the sec- onds the principals separated, ench re- treating a _couple of inches. The at- tendant spiders rushed each to his prin- eipul’s side and for several seconds $hings remained quiet. Then the pug- pacious little lylm'h spider moved hlnv\fy forw and the big fellow advanced to meet him, When they were nearly to- ethor the littlo spider shot forward ike a flash, pounced upon the big one and almost as quick dartod back ngain. Thut wus afatal blow to the big spide In that sudden dash the little spider had chopped off oneof of the big one’s long tor- *gs close to his body as neatly as he ad cut the cables of his foe's intruding web. I'hen the black spider darted at his big antagonist with the rapidity of lightning and it was not long till he had sovered the other foreleg of the big spider us completely as he had the first one. The brown wis now almost totally helpless. By a quick flank movement the little black mounted the other’s huge body and_closed his jaws firmly in the buck of his neck. The big splder floundered and struggled, but all to no urpose, His life blood was fast being rained by his agile foe and in a minute after the black spider had got his clutch on the brown one’s neck the big fellow hung shriveled and lifeless in the wreck of the web he had tried to enlarge at the expense of his bold and nervy little neighbor, But the little black spider was not satisfied with the death of the encroach- ing spider and the ruin of his web. When he found his foe was dead he made a circuitof the outer edge of the wob, cutting every stay cable and guy web from its fastenings, until the limp body of its late occupantand the dis- mantled web fell togethor on the window ledge, smong a mass of dead and shriv- eled flies and beetles' wings and heaps of dusty, cast-off webs.
