A Montana Heroine.

One of the guests at the Choteau House is the heroine of a first-class snake story. While horseback rifling with a female friend, the latter encountered a huge rattlesnake, which caused her horse to stop suddely and refuse to proceed further in the direction of the reptile. The lady, however, dismounted, and without waiting to procure a stick or other weapon, she boldly approached his snakeship, grasped him by the tail and pounded the life out of him before he had time to make an effort in his own defense. The snake was over three feet long and sported twelve rattles. The story seems tough, but the lady who first encountered the snake vouches for the facts, and the hei’oine has the reptile to show for her exploits. —Benton ( M. T.) Record.
