noise in his cellar and thought there
were rats below, when he went down

bright eyes in hole and went for
lantern. Upon his return large rattle
snake had crawled out and was ready
for activity. Mr.. Holton reached for the
nearest object and dispatched the rep
tile which measured four feet in length,
eight inches in circumference at the lar
gest part and had eleven rattles and
button Mr.. Wardell brought the skin
to Baraboo to emphasize his narrative.
Coon bluff is about half mile from the
Holton home and is said to be full of
rattlesnakes.
