Another Snake Story
John Berry who lives several miles south of Sapulpa, had a thrilling experience with a rattlesnake last week. Mr. Berry had crawled under the house in search of eggs, when a large snake raised up within twenty inches of his face. He was wedged beneath a sill and could not get away so he grabbed the snake by the neck, and retaining his hold, crawled out. The snake had ten rattles and a button. Berry is to be congratulated on his marvelous escape.
