Rattlesnake Kills a Wild Cat.

Herman Brawser, of Port Jervis, N. Y., while going to work, witnessed a terrific battle-between a full grown wild cat and a big rattlesnake in a narrow cleft of rocks. The big ratter won, the cat dying from numerous bites. Brawser killed the snake. It supported 14 rattles and measured 81 feet.
