The Snake Hunt,

More than 100 men and boys joined
in the hunt for the Carter snake which
has terrorized the country side about
Carter lake, near Hastings, at times
for the past II years. They spent all
of Sunday beating the bushes, trailing
through swamp and woods and re-
turned at night tired out and hungry,
without getting a glimpse of the 20
foot monster which is said to have
been seen by several reputable per-
sons recently about his old haunts.
While this SNAKE drive" was unsuc-
cessful, a campaign has been mapped
out for future attempts TO round up
the old fellow. When the snake is
seen the fortunate person is to at once
phone to town and the fire bells will
sound the alarm and the entire town is
expected to take to arms and rush to
the scene.
