For convenience we will call him Peck. A Yale student who had order- cd a live rattlesnake, upon receiving a notice that it was ready, called upon Peck in company with a nephew of mine. They were seated in the living room when Peck re- tired and soon returned with a half hushel measure which was covered by a wooden chopping howl. Placing the measure on the floor in front of his visitors, and removing the bowl, P'eck said, “Here is a nice large rat- tler for you. The bowl'had been in use so long that a large hole had heen chopped through its bottom at the center. When Peck brought in the snake he had his arm squarely over the hole with no apparent fear {of {he snake putting its head through the hole and biting his arm. Soon after removing the Bowl, the snake raiscd his head and put it | over the top of the measure as if to crawl out, when Peck raised his | hand as if to strike the snake, sald, | “Go back there,” and back it went. | This was repeated several times, and | our visitors, believing that the cap- tor had perfect control over the | captive, lost what little fear they may I nave had. | The student asked Peck for a | story,, to which he replied that he | waAs a snake catcher but not a story teller, After considerable urging Peck said: “Tor a long time there has been a little hamiet under the Meriden mountain called ‘Clark's Farms.' Seventy-five years ago there were two men by the name of Clark and five families by the name of Pratt living there. Formerly there were more Clark families there and |there still remains between the ! Clarks and the Pratts a vacant house where grandfather Clark once lived. A little north of that house 18 a large flat rock, under which there 15 now | a woodchuck’s burrow. I have known | that rock and burrow all my life and from my personal knowledge and the | traditions we have from the Clark | family, it seems probable that there | has been a woodchuck’s burrow con- tinuously under that rock for about one hundred and fifty yeara. “Merlden mountain and its vicinity for many years has been considered a famous place for rattlesnakes. | There is a tradition in the Clark family wheih has come down through many generations, that éne of the Clarks once saw a large rat- tlesnake on that rock which had caught and was trying to swallow a voung wookchuck. It seemed to be making slow work of it, but Mr Clark watched until dark and then got othérs to take turns. They waltched it continuously for thrée successive days and nights, at the end of which the woodchuck was completely swallowed and the poxi- tion of it in tha rattler's body was FALL GARDENING Likewise, just off the press—FALL GARDE coupon below and mall as directe (.

One fall, when he went there to take them home for the winter he missed one of his heifer calves, In vain he scarched all the herds in that vicinity and Tad had to give it up at last. When Jones and his helper were repairing the fence around that lot the next spring, ready to turn their young cattle out to grass for the summer, they noticed on the fence a large rattle snake that looked as if it had been having a square meal. One of the men cut the snake open with his axe, and much to their surprise out Jumped that yearling helfer as fat and lively as if it had been weil fed and sheltered all winter. And what is move, that helfer's first calf had nine rattles on its tail. A SOUTHINGTON BOY. RANSOM OR REVENGE I8 MOTIVE OF KIDNAPPING “Hickory Sim” Famous Gambling Plunger, Spirited Away By HoJd-Up Men Chicago, Sept. 22 P—Ransom or revenge were police theories today on the kidnapping by two armed men of Henry Belford, known as a wealthy real estate dealer, but iden- tified by his wife as “Hickory Slim,” one of the biggest gambling plun- gers in the country. The revenge theory held that some heavy loser in Belford's operations, which raised him from the crap shooting class to the millionaire rank as a bookmaker, may have de- cided to punish him. Mrs, Beiford told the police of the kidnapping early last night. She and her husband were returning from a theater a short distance from the hotel, when two men halted their automobile, demanding money and jewelry. £he threw jewelry valued at $2,000 on the floor and stepped out. The men drove off with her husband. When ghe told them her husband was “Hickory Blim,” poliee recalled the stories of ths famous plunges accredited to him. “Hickory Slim" had a luck, or acumen, that was proverblal, His assoclates were wont t6 declare his tallsman was the first dollar he cut from & crap game. His rise to wealth has been coneistent. His most recent coups wers made at Hawthorne track, where, with a New York bookmaker, he eleaned up $100,000 or more a day. Hix real estate holdings in Florida are listed at $500,000.
