Kentucky has always been fruitful OF

to the Chicago Inter-Ocean:
with a big rattlesnake coiled around his
left arm and his right hand gripping the
reptile just back OF the head. which,
snread agape, showed the pink forked
tongue and the poison fangs that held
certain and agonlzlng death. Engineer
Johnnie Clark, Of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad guided his train over
The Kentucky Central branch OF tue Louis

knew that TO quit ms pos. m Wou'u ~ the
passengers, so he held the reptile at
bay with one hand while he manipulated
the lever with the other, despite the iasi
