Show BLACK SNAKE HUGGED JAM Woman, Annoyed by Reptile's Partiality, Partial-ity, Writes "Finis" With an Ax. Going to a cupboard Mrs. Ella Norton Nor-ton of Oliver, Pa., saw what she believed be-lieved to be a piece of rope, wound ibout a crock of jam, but closer instigation in-stigation proved it to be a large Uacksnake. Now Mrs. Norton is not particularly frightened of snakes, but she does object to their taking liberties liber-ties with her jam closet. Procuring a double-bitted ax from tte wood pile she carved the word finis" deeply in the anatomy of the reptile. It proved to be one of the blue racer species and measured five feet. |
