workmen, Jonas D. Tice, Simon Tice,
Joseph Slabaugh, Welt Wiley, Mar
shall Lands, Mark Yoder and Harry
J. Bender, were cutting right-of-way
near Friendsville for the Pennsylvania
Electric company. They report that
the snakes were lying on a rock crew
ice not far from where one of the men
was working and that it would not
have been impossible for the reptiles
to have tipped out and to have bitten
him on the head. Some one of them
spied the snakes, pair, about two and
a half feet in length, and gave the
alarm. They were finally killed
