SNAKES Bring
GOOD PRICE

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 3d.
(Special.) -Hunting snakes for liv,
ing may not be an occupation that is
reany pleasant in all it's phases and
it may no. be Attractive to all classes
Of men. However, there is one man
in this city, a Mexican, who has made
snake hunting business for num-
Der of years.
He does not confine himself to the
harmless variety. but makes special
ty of catching the cotton-mouth moe
basin and the rattlesnake. These are
caught alive and sold to a dealer in
snakes, whose place of business IS in
West Commerce street.
This Mexican snake hunter mas two
methods of catching 10 RATHER If
the snake is large he places b forked
stick on its back and holds it down
until he can get hold of it in such a
manner as to drop it into a sack.
But if it is small RATHER, stick is
not used. The hunter watches the
reptile until it coils ready to strike
and then with a swift movement of the
hand he catches the snake just below
the head, grips it tightly and slips it
into sack. While catching water
moccasins, however, he usually goes
barefoot and when the moccasin is too
urge be caught with the hand it
is lassoed with a small lariat attached
to the end of a stick. Sometimes
this is done by letting the reptile swim
through the loop. At other times it
is thrown over the head of the SWIM
ming snake with as much accuracy
as marksmhn shoots with gun.
In the winter when snakes are n.y.
bernating. the snake hunter finds a
hole and thrusts a stick down it. Then
he sits down to watch. If the stick
moves he knows there is something
below and proceeds to dig out the
snake. But if there is no movement
after watching for half an hour or so,
the hunter seeks another hole and
repeats the test with the stick. 1t is
not an uncommon thing for this snake
hunter to bag a hundred pounds of
snakes in one day. These, if they
be good specimens, bring twenty-five

cents per pound alive. While this is
the only snake hunter in this city, a
number of men in the Kingsville
country, near the gulf, are engaged in
the business and follow it the year
round.
Recently 600 pounds of rattlesnakes
were SHIPPED into this city by express
from one snake hunter in the Kings
vile country, the man having made
an unusual catch in one week. From
the dealer here. the rattlesnakes are
SHIPPED to all parts of the country for
exhibition purposes and in few in
stances shipments have been made to
other parts of the world. The Texas
RATHER Is a deadly venomous one and
has to be handled with care. So far
as is known, but one rattlesnake hunt
err has ever died from the effects of
a bite while capturing snake. 1t is
not an uncommon thing in some of the
wilder parts of the country to capture
a snake having twelve or more rattles
showing that the reptile is thirteen
years or more, old since the first rat
tie appears when the snake is one year
of age.
