 f; I Recently Charlie Carey wrote to th Burroughs Nature Club, and received ] an answer stating hatly that the hool
 snake was a myth. A supplementar. L note in the letter, told of S1,noo offere. s by the New York Zoo for B snake ths could take it's tafl iii it's mouth, anl
 get up speed in approved hoop-like fash e lon. Three local men have actually seel n this peculiar breed. Doc" Wallace. e fox hunter, well known in this seetier
 sis reported as having seen one rollini d down Hampton hill. that resembled s great sgekeless cart wheel At the tim : the controversy arose Doc" was no
 able to produce proof relative to tn a stories accredited to him. MT. Soule an f Mr. Jones stoutiy made affidavits tha h they, too. had seen hoop snakes in act l. 1 ual operation. Lacking visible proof : and being without the necessary sgoods s to establish the facts beyond question , the matter was pretty well forgoter F Not by the Doe however, he kna'
 where the hoop snakes liYed, and nor - than that. he proposed to prove it. On il warm day last week he loaded uh hi l. trusty musket and saying never Q word to his sleeping family, he was U = and away before dawn. A heavy charg
 of 5uckshot will riddle most anything C and he was sure they would punctur . the hooper's hide. Now, the proof c
 the pudding is in the eating. The skin r which measures full seven feet froT z head to tail, is on exhibition in Carey f window for all="to see who deelar < against the existence. of the good old 9 fashioned hoop snake, as stated.
