home one of the largest rattle snakes seen
in this city for many days He hung the
reptile in front OF his place of business,
where it has been seen by hundreds OF
people and is admitted by all to be the
largest they ever saw. The way in which
he came to capture such specimen came
very near being serious for him. He was
waiting for the deer to pass and was walk
ing leisurciy along in the dense woods
when his attention was attracted by what
looked to be coil of large rope in the
grass. He stopped within about eight feet
of the object, and while looking still closer
a large snake disengaged itself from the
coil of the other snake and ran into an
old stump hole. Mr.. Granger then leveled
his gun at the remaining snake and shot
its head Off He set fire to the old stump
and burned it up, but never saw the other
snake. He tied a string around the tail
of the one he had killed and carried it to
camp. 1t was a big RATHER and measured
six fat and six inches, having nine rattles
and weighing ten pounds. While dragging
the snake to camp a marsh hen and four
birds came cut of the snakes throat. Be

there was open competition. Now, there

suit, private and independent buyers are
completely shut out from the market, the
