an afternoon at cards or a sewing

Find Den of Snakes

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, July PA
veritable snake colony, where it is said
the reptiles may be killed by the doz-
ems, has been discovered on Buck creek,
several miles southeast of this city.
While bathing in the creek few days
ago, John Coleman, a 16-year-old boy
of this city, and two or three com
panions saw dozens of snakes along the
creek bank and in less than an hours
time they succeeded in killing 26 rep
tiles The snakes were of poison
species known as water moccasins, and
the most of them were killed under
stones along the bank where they har
bor or had sought a hiding place when
frightened. Another party Of boys who
went fishing and snake hunting on tn
creek broke this record by killing &c
snakes.

SHORT CUT TO KANSAS CITY

according to information received
from Oklahoma the Santa Fe has re-
vlVed its old plan to build a line east
from Its eastern Oklahoma branch at
Gushing to connection with the Tulsa
branch, running through Sapulpa.
surveying parties are now reported to
be In the field about ten miles east
or Gushing, working eastward. The
Sapulpa Commercial club has been re-
quested to furnish depot grounds and
right-of-way through the south and
east part of that city. It is expected
that the new line will cross the Ar
kansas river on either the Frisco or
the Midland Valley bridge. 1t is con-
sidered likely that a junction will be
made with the Midland Valley near
Sapulpa, carrying with it some sort of
joint traffic arrangement between the
two roads.
The building of this line has been
contemplated by the Santa Fe for
years, and arrangements for it had
been completed just before statehood,
but were dropped on account Of the
railroad provisions of the constitution.
The development of new gas and oil
fields between Cushing and Sapulpa is
considered to be responsible for the
revival of the plan at this time. 1t will
shorten the distance from Oklahoma
and Texas points to Kansas City.
