Brings it home alive by the nape of the neck.
    Dr. McConnell of Tulsa, I. T., has the latest snake story. It is a true story and hasn’t any of the dream elements about it.
    Dr. McConnell was sitting on the porch when he saw a cat coming up the lawn dragging a rattlesnake about three feet long.
    The cat had the snake by the nape of the neck and apparently was experiencing no trouble whatever in “toting” its load.
    The feline carried his snakeship under the porch, and there for fifteen minutes she lovingly fondled it with her paws. Dr. McConnell called the members of Dr. Harrison’s family to watch the performance.
    Finally a disagreement arose and the serpent was seen to strike viciously at the cat. Tabby liked this phase of the situation fully as well as the amorous stunts and fought back with zeat.
    The snake and the cat kept the duel up for probably five minutes, when the spectators thought it was time to interfere, and the snake was killed.
    The cat had a number of deep scratchs on its body. Fourteen rattles were taken from its tail.
