\ Lake serpent that is vouched For.


The Gazette learns of a monster reptile
which inhabits the waters of Pleasant
Lake. After a thorough investigation we
learn that we can give the particulars
without being set down as a rOmancer, or,
in other words, liar. This snake story
is genuine. At intervals for the past six
months the serpent has been seen in the
lake. 1t is at least 40 feet long, and swims
with its head four feet above the water.
Its hOrrid head is as large as a half bushel
measure. On Monday morning it was
seen by Redley Moore, Will Miller, Sam
Majors, Job McGrew, and ROllIn Snurr,
all reputable citizens of Pleasant Lake.
A we'll known citizen, William Spriggles,
who resides on the bank of the lake, saw
the snake a few days ago. and says it
is tremendous serpent, large around as
a barrel. Mr.. Charlie Gaskill saw it last
summer when il was swimming with
some 6 feet of its body above the water.
Gaskiu had his shotgun with him, and
fired at the snake, with what effect he
could not ascertain, as the reptile plunged
beneath the surface, and he saw it no
more. When the snake approaches the
shore the path its body makes through the
bushes shows Its body TO be as big around
as barrel. Several plans have been sug-
gested to trap his snakeship, and deter
mined effort will be made in a few days.
So many have seen this terror of the lake
that it will not do to laugh or cavil. In
this connection it may be mentioned that
blue racers II feet long are frequently
seen near the lake
