SPIDER GRIP
Spider grip with his trophy! Uncle Jed Mulligan is in background at left. (Pretty sure this is them!)
SPIDER GRIP (from the Eagle Pass Biographies) Spider was raised somewhere in Concho County, Texas (county seat is Paint Rock, population 231, about 200 miles southwest of Dallas). He just showed up one day. He stood about 6'1" weighed about 135 lbs. and was the rangiest looking critter that I ever did see. Looked like it had been a while since Spider had had a bath.
I had met Spider while working on a ranch as a youngster. He was the toughest man I ever saw. A water moccasin bit him one day at the crik. Spider just grabbed him and bit his head off, sucked the venom out of the bite, and kept on working...and then he told me to get back to work! Spider got gored by a bull named Chilli Dog and died shortly afterwards.
