hanging above the water. The next
morning a huge rattlesnake was found
on the exposed hook. 1t is stated that
the snake was as large around as the
arm of the average man. The snake
was killed and the perch, which had
attracted it to the hook, was found
In the reptiles mouth.
The crop of snakes, especially the
species, is larger this year
than in years. This is attributed to
he past mild winter. Moccasins
swarm the smaller creeks and there
