copperhead snake that hung its fangs in his trouser legs and again his horse fell from- a cliff and pinioned him to the ground Ills leg was very badly bruised in the fall but in both in- stances ¬ ho escaped without serious injury One of the reasons why the Old Granny still Had operated so long without being found was of tho shrewdness of Gab bard Although the still was in two hundred yards of his home ho had made it n practice to go from his house up n hollow for nearly n mile cross a creek and then re trace his steps through a creek bottom so that no path was made leading to the still TJio
