BILL THE FISHERMAN OF HOL- LEY GUT BROOK, TELLS A WONDERFUL NATURE STORY. PORT JERVIS, N. Y., AugUBt 6. William Simmons, who lives up Hol ly Gut Brook way, and Is a veteran fisherman, was out for trout. He has a very old habit of catching trout not the kind that are a foot long or weighing two or three pounds each, but tho respectable sort that come within the length of the law. You see, Bill believes In telling the truth about fish and other things. Recently Bill reports he was compelled to quit fishing on account of flames and smoke. The brush and scrub oak covering many acres had scrub oak covering many acres had been set on fire, along tho Holley Gut Simmons says he crossed the brook along with such reptile and animal life, driven his way by the fire. A score of black snakes nnd about three score of squirrels held a hur ried consultation on the bank. Then, says Bill, the snakes twined them selves together and going up stream bounded Into the rushing water of the brook. But the tall of the last bounder was still twined about a bush. The current carried the rope of snakes to the opposite shore, where the leader, quick as a wink, twined about a bush. Thus was formed a living, squirming bridge. "Across this bridge, you see, It was easy for tho squirrels to dart to safety on the other side. They were gray and red and chlpmunk'squlrrels. When all had crossed the snake on the off shore loosened Its tall hold to the brush and tho snake bridge was swept down stream to the lef shore, where the reptiles gracefully uncoiled and squirmed across the fields far away from the fire." Bill explains that the squlrrelf seemed to have "put the snakes on to something." Investigating, he discovered that the reptiles had beer directed to where a colony of toad? lived, and in a jiffy there was not a single toad, big or little, in that puddle. The snakes made a very pleasant meal of them. "So you see," said Bill, tacking a mcral to his tale, "It pays snakes sometimes to be kind to squirrels.' WILL DYNAMITE A PANTHER.
