People as rule do not believe snake
stories, but we have one this week that
has been vouched for by men of
character who are noted for their truth
fulness. A week or so ago, RAYMOND
Seitz, who is working for Charles Chap
man, went TO the pasture lot for the
cows at the close of days work in the
field. While in the pasture he saw
hugh snake a short distance from him
and made an attempt to kill his snake
ship. The snake endeavored TO take
refuge under the roots of a stump. but
did not get entirely out of reach. Young
Seitz grabbed the reptile by the tail and
pulled and pulled, but could not bring
the snake out Of its hiding place and was
afterwards mighty glad he didn't.
