KILLED coPPERHEAp.
Deadly Reptile Was Taking a Swim
When II Was Attacked.

Swimming across Clark's Cove at
Gales Ferry last week. a copperhead
snake was despatched with an oar
welded by Capt. Norman l.. Brown.
1t is said to have been the first one
seen in that vicinity for ten years or
more, and where it came from nobody
knows.
When Captain Browns attention was
called to the reptile by George Kettel
he put off in his boat with Orrin Ben
nett and when within striking dis
lance gave it deadly whack But it
didn't succumb without showing fight.
1t struck viciously at the oar and sub
seouently buried its fangs in its own
body.
Copperheads are as poisonous as
rattlers, and much more dangerous. as
they give no warning on the ap-
proach of an enemy
