Benton County has heroine in
the person Of Mrs, Tom Deaton, Of
the tenth district. She was gath
ering vegetables in the garden a
few days ago, when she discovered
q rattlesnake, which she succeeded
in killing. There was nothing re-
markable about the size of the rep
tile, but an examination disclosed
the fact that it had two well devel-
oped heads. The only difference
noted was in length, one head and
neck being about four inches long
and the other abeut three inches.
The snake was 2 feet long, and had
Z rattles.
