HOME OF SNAKES.
Sixty Zig Int Large Rattlesnakes Killed
In an Hour.

The following story is taken from
the Oakland Republican. As we
know Ben Sincell doesn't like snakes
and would not tell anything but the
truth we feel sure the story is accur-
ate.
For years il has been known in the
locality of Germany in Garrett county
that there was snake den or rendez-
yous in the Allegheny mountains
The den is in ledge of rocks which
rises from fifty to two hundred feet
in height, and at certain intervals
the reptiles crawl out of their rendez-
yous and become quite troublesome:
SO a day or two ago 1T was decided by
a number of farmers to raid the den
Armed with clubs, guns and any
old thing that would dispatch 'rat-
tier they marched in solid phalanx to
the home Of the reptiles and were not
disappointed in finding them at home
as they were having family reunion
on that occasion and were all in to-
gether with number Of invited guests
A more propitious time could not
iuAI bSth cIltIbtNl duu NIIGu btiG ldI=
mers opened fire they were met by a
rattle from the rendezvous that
would seem to indicate that the whole
mountain was hollow and filled with
snakes, each reptile shaking its tail In
a defiant manner.
The fight lasted one hour and when
the farmers retired they looked around
over the field and picked up sixty
eight rattlesnakes, the smallest Of
which is said to have measured four
feet and had ten rattles. Besides the
old ones large number of young ones
We're killed. Only few days pre-
yious party visited the den and kill
ed eighteen snakes. 1t is Understood
that Smith, the Garrett county snake
catcher, has caught seventy-five rattle
snakes in the neighborhood of the
rendezvous, and that he has quart
cup full of rattles.
