hearing a rumor affolt in this region some years since about a huge serpent that had been seen by an indian somewhere in the mountains in this or utah county such a story has been in circulation once or twice within the last ten or twelve years A letter written by a gentleman at spring lako lake villa utah county printed in the DESERET deseree WEEKLY NEWS ot of september 3rd ard isu contains the following last week an indian brave and squaws squads went over the first mountain east of here to pick berries berri esy esi and next day returned very much frightened and for tor some time refused to tell what his trouble was but finally says he went over on the tha other side bide of the then after walking about awhile came upon the trail of something appearing as though timber had been dragged along afong this ho he crossed and upon going a little higher saw the he d ot of some living thing peeping over oter a rook rock at him which much frightened himy him as he had never seen anything like it but before he could run a nuge nuie snake as thich through as a mans body and from ten to twenty feet long sprang towards him he dodged and the huge rep reptile lie ile went clear over his head but gathered himself up again as the indian started the other way and again agala jumped another dodge saved him a again azain ain aln when ha he scrambled over some rocks and up the mountain getting not only clear or his hij but nearly frightened out of his senses ho he says the snake had horns that curved back tack over his head and that he would raise his head to the height of a man an athe the writer of the above letter says the braves story was generally believed by those who were acquainted with him but like the stories told of tha the bear lake monster and also of the utah lake serpents it has been regarded as a myth by the general public but it a narration made to wk a few rew hours ago is to be relied on the tho general incredulity in regard to these utah monsters may not be so strong hereafter as it has been this morning a well known resident of this city and territory named edward it walker now of the luth loth ward of this citha stout strong man about thirty four years of age who has been used to mountain life and apparently as sound in ju mind as strong in body calle called dupon upon us and made the following extraordinary statement 7 which we have no doubt our brethren of the quill will stamp as the tho champion inako story of the entire country roe tor this season on the instant mr air walker his brother sylvester and their cousin john coon were felling timber for mr mill in the right hand fork of coons Canyon can on about three quarters of a mile from I 1 he tha point of the mountain west from this city ou on the high peak peaky south of black bock rock between tea and eleven in the morning a deer ran by where they wo we e work vork working ilig 1119 and our ant snatched upa sharis sharps ride ridel and started in la he had continued ehe the chase for about a mile due duo north he was start startled by a loud shrill whistle and tits lits which he at first thought might be a signal from an indian he came to a hait halt BD looked about himy him and heard tho the colao noise ol 01 rocks rattling southeast south east from where he stood lie ha turned when to his horror he saw approach approaching ing lug him at a very rapid rate fl a serpent which helu he judged bed ged was between thirty aud and forty reet feet long iong arid and about ten inches through the tho body the tho reptiles head was raised rully fully six feet from the ground and aud his jaws were open fifteen or eighteen ei inches wide with large fangs gowling gowing from both upper and lower jaw walker was almost petrified with tear seau but tho the hope of saving his own lito lite made him aim start to run the serpent however was too quick for tor him and aud jumped at and knocked him down downy striking him litin on the tho ler left ta shoulder houlder just below the shoulder blade blades going over him and down the mountain to the southwest south west for a short distance when he turned and pursued walker who had risen and with a speed inspired by the deadliest sear tear was making bis his way to the top ot of the ridge unfortunately for our informant he stumbled stumble dp and immediately ho be felt the he weight of his monstrous pursuer gliding over his body ile he gave himself up loc tor lost then but it seems hard fo to tell which was most frightened frighten td the man mail or the snake tor for the latter did not seem scent disposed to run the risk of a contest but after gliding across the tha body of the prostrate man he slid off at a tremendous rate towards wards 4 tho the ridge of the mountain and aar across OSS it to the tho east cast side walker walter rose and watched his movements and says that after crossing to the east ardethe side lide the snake turned arid aud re crossed to the west vest sido side and went down the mountain a few yards and then thon twined himself around a largo large mahogany tree where bo he remained waving his head to and f fro flapping trapping his bis tall tail on the rocks and whistling IM and aud hissing de defiance flance ahat that was the last he saw of him himy tor for lie he mado made his way back to his companions as quickly as he could the wanted to return ret rot urn and hunt for the serpent but the hero of the adventure was too weak from from f fright right and excitement to do so but says they intend int end to go on an expedition to hunt that snake in a very short time the tho color coir of tha reptile was yellow with a s black mark like a half halo moon on each side of his r had a beard heard or fuzz round his month morth and what appeared to our oun in formant to be a crown shaped mass on the top of his head bead the latter was about six inches alz hand band varied tadad in color being green blue white yellow and red the bead of the creature was about as large as that of a full fall grown bull dog andin and und in shape between a bui DUI dost and monkey his ills body was covered with had scales six eix or eight inches long iong mr walker walter flays ho has been used tp to mounta mountain Jn life for years and never was afraid of anything any thing but nothing could persuade him to go alone a acain again lin aln into the right hand fork of coons canyon sueh such is the story of mr nir walker wal wai ken ker while he was telling it we lye asked him hipa to allow us to feel his pu pulse ise but it was wag per perfectly erectly natural I 1 neither it nor any glare in ma tha cye eye indicating the tie least degree of menial aberration at the risk of offending fl hi nihls statement being a pretty strong one
