was sent to get them out. One of the
turtles tore a hole in the mans boot
leg and the man nearly tainted. The tur-
ties always gave battle. No thought of
retreat crossed their minds. if they have
minds, but they charged on whatever
came in sight. Swapping turtles are born
fighters. A bulldog is not to be compared
with a snapper Up around Echo lake
a snapper would clutch a trouser leg and
tear out piece of the material of which
the trousers were made, or he would
shoot out his neck and fasten his jaws on
a mans hand and hang on. There was no
such thing as let go. Cutting off the
turtles head did not loosen his jaws.
The jaw had to be forced open, and. as
this was a slow process the interval
between the time of severing the head
from the body and opening the jaws was
often one of unsurpassed anguish. The
philosopher who can endure the bite of
swapping turtle in silence is yet to be
found.
The sad feature of this turtle matter is
that Echo lake is ruined as pleasure
resort. AS picnic locality it's days are
numbered, unless the turtles can be ex-
terminated.

TURTLES ON ECHO LAKE.
VeraciOus story of an Extraordinary
Scene After q New Jersey Storm.

Scene After New Jersey Storm.
Washington Post: There is a lake in
New Jersey, near WeStfield called Echo
lake For several years past it has been
known that the lake contained many
swapping turtles. The snappers made
savage war upon the fish, killing many
of them and crowding others out of the
lake A few weeks ago there was a severe
storm in that section of the country, and
the day after the storm party from
Westfield went out to the lake to see If
any fish were left in it, or if any had
been stranded in the meadows by the re-
Ceding waters. They found few fish, but
there were swapping turtles in abundance,
from little bits of fellows a few inches
in length, up to lusty warriors a foot
across the back and the jaws of all of
them were in thorough working order
There were turtles everywhere crawl
ing in all directions fighting and biting
their way in search of the lake, which
was their objective point Everything
living with which they came in contact
was Immediately assaulted, and the tur-
ties came out best in every instance, until
man appeared on the scene. Then the
aspect was changed, and although the
SnapperS were worsted, they rendered
good, or bad. as may be, account OF
them. 1t was no trouble for a turtle to
: best healthy hen or cat. or even a dog.
A turtle, who was one of a party OF three
in crossing a yard, caught a chicken by
the leg. His head was cut off and his
mouth pried open, but the chickens leg
was crushed. There were several in
stances of cats coming flying into the
house dragging a turtle along with them.
The honest watchdog could be seen rae
ing across "a field with small snapper
ornamenting the end of his tail, and
hog in the attempt to make meal of
one that had obtained access to the pig
pen had portion of his jaw torn off.
The houses and cellars in the vicinity
of the lake were invaded by the turtles,
frightening the women folks, and even
proud man was attacked. Several snap
pers having crawled into cellar at
Weingarter's boarding house. German
