Plainville appears to be the con- vention place for most of the snapping turtles in Hartford county according to recent report of captures of the rep- tiles. Last week Barney Mason and | Luke Welch were credited with snar- ing the biggest “snapper” caught in these parts in a half century and to- | day one of the cooks at the transfer station gathered in his twin brother. According to a story told by one of the transfer men it is a “whale” of a turtle and was apparently on its way to the cook house for lunch when by mischief it fell foul of the cook. | This doughty individual hesitated not a moment and inside of a minute had | his snappership cooped up in a big | barrel. The date of the execution has not been set and the cook who is a kind hearted chap says he may release the reptile and award him an iron | cross for courage in venturing into the danger zone.
