Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 October 1901 — Another Big Rattler Killed. [ARTICLE]

Another Big Rattler Killed.

Still the rattlesnake items come in. The latest was a big one found by Mrs. G. P. Daugherty, just east of town, on the stock farm road. The snake was in the road between Mr. Daughtery’e boose and Mr. Padgett’s the old stook farm place. The snake was a pretty big one. In fact most too big and nice a snake to waste by killing. He would have made a good companion to the other big rattler at the school house, had it been caught alive. The Rensselaer Feed Store have just received a oar load of wheat bran from the Minnesota mills. In two hundred lbs. sack. When you want a good coal oil try the Sunsene at 10 cts per gal or Peoples’ Head Light at 7 cts gal. Chicago Bargain Store.
