scratched themselves and others just
made break for wide open spaces.
"Ah. have it," the snake-charmer
proclaimed, as he summoned officers
Warner Davis and Harry Bunting,
who were soon on the trail of the
missing snake. "Look for a man
wearing cowboy suit and Tom Mix
hat and there you will find the rat
tier"
Some few moments later the flash
ily-dressed man was seen by the Off
GERS sitting on bench some distance
from the "snake-den" and as they
approached him they told him of their
woes. "No, haven't seen the snake"
he told the officers, who then insisted
that he go back to the tent with them

breakdown, that Accomack officers
still cling to the belief that little
consideration for even a reptile
snitcher is not amiss-sent him on
his way, not asking too many ques-
tions.
The attendant at the snake-tent
told Officer Davis that the man wear
ing a cowboy suit and Tom Mix hat
had been about the tent, practically
that he had snitched the rattler while
the entire day and that he was sure
he wasn't looking.

STEALS "RATTLER" AND
HIDES 1T IN SHIRT

A flashily-dressed man with Tom
Mix hat stole a rattle snake at Keller
Fair Saturday night and put it in his
shirt.
When the Heller Midway Attrac-
tions had about called it a day, as the
curtain was lowered late Saturday on
the 64th fair, as heads were counted,
a snake was missing, and it caused
no little excitement as late customers
heard that a big rattler had escaped.
Men and women were seen to tip
toe from the tent and all the while,
eye the ground on which they trod.
Others were seen to raise their trous-
ers and skirts to see that no rattler

charmer."
The three were half the distance,
when one of the officers spied "wig-
gle" inside the shirt of the "wester-
ner" who had come to the fair to have
a day of fun.
It was then that their captive broke
down and gave the officers his story
He said that he had stolen the snake
and would deliver it personally back
to the tent.
He offered to take the snake out OF
his shirt at the moment, but the Off
GERS insisted that it would be entirely
satisfactory to keep it in it's hiding
place until they reached it's den.
He barred the complete tale,-that
he had always been attracted by the
