^NAKK BITE PROVES FATAL.
Monroe Citizen Had Mania For Handling
Snakes.
Monroe, Sept. 15.?Andrew Craig,
38 years of age, prominent Monroe
citizen, son of Rev. Braxton Craig, of
Soulhport, and nephew of ex-Governor
Locke Craig, died in the Ellen
'Fitzgerald hospital Tuesday night
from the results of a rattlesnake bite
inflicted on September 2: The immediate
cause of death was tetanus contracted
from the wound, however.
Interment was made this afternoon
in the^Monroe cemetery at 3:30, Rev.
J. I). Harte, pastor of the First Baptist
church, conducting the services.
From childhood Mr. Craig has had
a mania for handling snakes, often he
has caught copperheads and handled
them.for hours at the time. On September
2 he was driving by the filling
station run by O. V. McGee, near
Monroe, and stopped to look at some
rattlesnakes which McGee had in a
cage. He took out a .black , rattler
which had recently been brought from
the mountains,, and while holding it,
the snake struck him. He turned loose
to get a better hold, and the snake
struck him on the other hand. ,
Mr. Craig sucked the poison from
the wounds, and then extracted the
fangs of the snake. After a. short
while he felt sick and went to the Ellen
Fitzgerald ^oepital, where he received
treatment for the two wounds.
Later it was discovered that the snake
had bitten him a third time in the arm
and it was from this wound that he
suffered agony for several days.
Ho had about overcome the poison
from the snake, but tetanus set in,
causing his death. . 4
Sixty-three flogging cases having
been reported in Putnam county, Fla.,
Governor Martin of that state, ha$
notified Sheriff Hancock that unless
he puts an end to mob rule in his
county there will be named new
sheriff who will put ^t down, and if a
new sheriff fails to stop it then martial
law will be declared.
