RATTLEsNAKE JACK IN TOWN.

RATTLESNAKE "JACII" IN TOWN.
Jack MacConnell, of Lords Valley,
Pike county, better known as RAT
tlesnake Jack" was a business cal
Ter in Honesdale part of Tuesday
and Wednesday. Mr.. MacConnell is
we'll known throughout this section,
having spent his entire life getting
rattlesnakes and game. Jack is
much sought after by sportsmen
from Honesdale and vicinity, for he
knows just where the best game is
found and where are the hiding
places of the speckled beauties, bass
and other gamey fish. He is a very
interesting conversationalist, and he
told representative of The Citizen
a number of good stories in the short
interval the scribe had with him
previous to his departure on an Erie
train.
Jack said since 1877 he has taken
out of Pike county 1000 rattle
| snakes. 'Its an easy matter to
| just catch him. / have been bitten
! several times by them but only once
! was given up by the doctors as being
beyond hopes of living. l was sick
ten days but was not as sick perhaps
as person might have been had he
taken no means of extracting the
poison.
81 receive from $3.50 to $500 for
skins that tan. They are used in
making purses and belts. I have
made large quantities of rattlesnake
oil, but only sold one bottle, having
= given hundreds of bottles away. The
< oil is used for ear trouble.
'The largest rattlesnake 1 ever
caught measured feet, 8 inches.
& The average length is between two
r. and half and three feet.
f "The snakes caught in swampy
Sections are larger than those found
the mountains This is due to the
ct that they get better living in the
wamps. Rattlesnakes live on birds,
squirrels and chipmunks. They do
s not touch fish or frogs. After a
snake has struck its game and de-
#voured it one can see a streak of
4 green on the outer skin as if pene-
Il trating the snake"

MISS ALICE DERSHEIMER OF
SOUTH CANAAN TRACES Ne
GRO BY TELEPHONE.
People in Vicinity Rejoice Over Cap
-ture Through Her Clever Work.
Man Returned to Farview That
Afternoon.

Alonzo Nicholas, a patient in the
Criminal Insane Hospital located at
Farview, got away from his keepers
there Tuesday afternoon shortly af-
ter one o'clock but after a few
hours of liberty he was found in the
vicinity of Waymart.
To Miss Alice Dersheimer, opera
tor of the Bell telephone at Canaan
Corners, is due the credit for captur-
ing the negro who escaped from the
Criminal Insane Hospital at Farview
Tuesday evening. Miss Dersheimer,
in an interview with the Citizen,
stated that she received word that
Nicholas had escaped about 20 min
utes after he was missed from the
grounds where he had been working.
81 gave a general alarm on the
line, reaching all the people l could
on the main road and also cross
roads that the man was on his way
toward South Canaan. Men rushed
out of their homes and the escaped
man was caught by DR.. McCafferty
and David Gildea near Cease Bros.
on the road toward Philip Reining's
in Cherry Ridge township.
"The man was walking very fast
as he passed the different houses that
up W ooCSl Idlh LID hlONS-
ment.
Miss Dersheimer's keen foresight
and clever work certainly led to the
capture of the escaped man, who,
had he not been captured, might
sooner or later have caused much
trouble and sorrow. The young lady
telephone operator deserves much
credit for her resourceful tactics,
for had the escaped man not been
taken into custody, people every
where in the vicinity would have
been terror-stricken and have passed
sleepless nights.
Alonzo Nichols had been commit
ted to the hospital at Farview, from
Franklin county. He was not vio-
lently insane and had been engaged
in helping grade the lawn around
the institution that afternoon. When
the guards back was turned he made
his escape into the woods. A thor
ough search was at once instigated
and resulted in the mans capture
before many hours.
The news that one of the inmates
of the criminal insane hospital had
escaped, for a time put terror into
the minds of residents of that vi
cinity, and many did not venture
from their homes until they heard
of the mans capture.
