No Date for Snake Show.

A snake show struck the town Satur.
day, proposing to give an exhibition OF
reptile eating and snake biting in the
evening. The outfit was here two years
ago. and the officials had not forgotten
the general feeling of disgust which per.
vaded the community when the per-
Torrance was carried out. The action
of the council at this time in fatty refus-
ing to grant license to this repulsive
proposition meets the approval of all,
The following from an Oregon exchange
is appropos on the subject
Snakes eight or nine feet long are not
a common sight in Oregon, except as
displayed at the sideshows of circuses
and yet snakes of fully that length have
not been scarce around Forest Grove for
the past few days. Tuesday company
Of show people visited the city with a
choice selection of reptiles which they
wished to display. On being told they
would have to pay the city nominal
license, they refused to give their show
and later the proprietors became in.
volved in an alteration among them
selves. As a result one of them turned
loose their whole supply Of snakes
which have since been roaming about
the vicinity at will. In all about twenty
snakes were set free, including several
different species. Several have already
been killed and displayed in town
The majority. however. are still at large
and although some of them are known
to be of poisonous varieties. they are not
considered dangerous. as it is understood
that their owners had removed their
deadly fangs."
