4 New snake story.

The first snake story of the season
comes from Donegal township, Butler
county, thirteen miles from Newcastle.
Pa. says the Chicago Chronicle. James
Wyner had the utmost faith in the oil
OF poisonous snakes as cure for rheu-
matssm, and he started out. as is his Gus
tom every spring, on snake hunt. In
the township Is an old cranberry patch.
and 10 this he proceeded, dressed In his
heavy wooden suit OF pants. shirt and
coat. On his feet were pair OF high
wooden boots. When ne returned home
IN the evening he had hanging TO his
clothes no less than seventeen black
snakes. three rattiers. four garter snakes
and one snake that had a horn In It's
tail
The mode OF capture is very peculiar.
Wymer has some peculiar kind OF an oil
that makes q strange odor that is evf-
IDENTIFY pleasant 20 the serpents. for they
follow Mr.. Wymer around In great num-
bers. lie has a small switch. with which
ne strikes at the snakes, and they Ia turn
strike a him and their farga stick IN the
heavy wooden goods which compose his
clothing The sight that met the people
of Jacksvilie Butler county. near where
he lives when Wyrner arrived was in
deed strange one. The snakes looked
Hike so many tails. and they greatly
frightened the people. Wymer Will skin
the reptiles. try out the fat and reduce
the same 70 oil which he uses in cases
of rheumatism. as he is a local doctor.
