The champion snake story of the
season comes from the little village of
Sargentville. down in Hancock county.
DR.. w. F.. France of that place was
bothered more or less with ant hills
and finally there appeared huge one
within a few rods of his house. 1t
was as large over as a wash tub and
the doctor decided to exterminate the
pests. Taking his hoe he began to dig
into the mound where he soon found a
nest of snakes. The deeper down he
went the more plentiful the reptiles
became. They We're of the ordinary
green variety with few brown ones
and from eighteen inches to two feet
long. A hecatomb was not in it with
those snakes He killed they by twos
and fours and finally by dozens.
When the slaughter was finished he
made round up and count and found
that he had dispatched 332 snakes
The hole from which they were taken
measured three feet wide by two feet
deep. and beneath this was bed of
boulders AS DR.. France is one of the
leading men of the town and as he is
the personal authority for this story,
there can be no question as to the &C
curacy of the statement.
