apparently unconscious of my presence. I was now satisfied that the person before ms was none other than the famous Rattlesnake Hunter. He was known throughout

the neighborhood as an outcast and a wanderer, obtaining a miserable subsistence from

the casual charilies of the people around him,

His time was mostly spent among the rocks and rude hills, where his only object seemed to be the hunting out and destroying of the

ilreadcd Crotnlus horwlvs, or Rattlesnake. J immediately determined to satisfy my curiosi

tv, which had been strangely excited by the

remarkable appearance and behaviour of the (ranger; and for this purpose I approached

him.

vicinity? ' I enquired, pointing at the crushed
