| Albert Meyers OF Sumpter has in
his possession five hundred and seven
rattlesnakes rattles from the same
number of snakes which he has killed
in the den in Baxter Hollow within
the past fifteen years. This is only
about half of the number killed as
many of the rattles were, too small to
keep. Seventy eight is his sum total
for this year. It is good thing some
one wages war on the republics or they
would soon become veny numerous.
