Doc Clifton, living near Millnerville has had rather a queer experience with
snakes within the month past. His house is set in the bank and easy access
to all creeping things, but the queerest as well as the creepiest thing ever
caught in a mouse trap was a young rattle snake. Coming in rather late one
evening Doc as usual reached down behind some article of furniture where he
had placed his mouse trap, his hand coming in contact with something cold
and clammy he withdrew it and went more cautiously next time, bringing up a
young rattle snake caught by the head. The doctor relieved it and set his
heel upon it. He sat reading one day and as the window was down from the
top he thought he saw something dart out of the hole where the window stop
stops. Soon a young rattler crawled down on the window sill to be served the same as
its mate, but the end was not yet; coming in one day he espied a long dark
brown colored snake lying at full length in front of his chicken coop. It
was very slender with three bulges in it. He tried to arouse it but was
perfectly dormant, waiting for its gluttonous meal to digest. Doc then
proceeded to look into the snake's anatomy and found three quite large
spring chickens. This is quite a snake story but is vouched for.
