BANOUETED ON FRIED SNAKE.
Hut They Didn’t Eat the Reptile as
Though They Relished It
1 Lawrencehurg. Ind.. July 12.—Presi
dent Eb Heoton, of the board of com-
I mlsstoners. entertained a few friend*
the other evening with a most p?cullar
j feast for this part of Ihe country. T ie
Old gentleman had been telling shout s
I huge hlai ksnake that for the past 17
lyesrs her been a familiar object alsiut
his premises, and had heen spared from
| harm by the family because of tt*? fact
that It kept rats arid mice from the
farm building and besides was harm-
I less.
This senson Ihe favored reptile has
become too familiar with young chlck
eo« sod killed them almost as fast aa
ithey were raised. This placed It in dis
favor and when it got to disturbing
the milk In the cellar and disposing of
the cream that gathered In the milk
pan, It was decreed that Its days of
usefulness were over and It must die.
When Mr. H aton told of the matter
at the court bouse Capt. Ax by asked
him why he didn't kill the snake and
eat It.
•TH do it." was the response, "if I
can get enough friends to join me at
the feast.”
At once the arrangements were be
gun for the novel supper, hut no one
could he found to cook the reptile until
ex-Clty Marshall John Huth, an ex
pert cook, ogreed to act In that ca
pacity. Accordingly Heaton brought
the captured snake to town in a box.
It was decapitated, cleaned and placed
en lee to thoroughly freeze. Its actual
length was 6 feet 3 1-2 inches, and
fpnm Its fine living it was abumdantly
fat, weighing 17 1-4 pounds.'
The Invited guests assembled at Fish
erman's Bar, in the river, where ev
erything had been arranged for the un
usucl affair. Ex-Sheriff Dan Guard
was toastmaster, and, while speeches
were numerous, drinks plentiful and
fun gi.lore, fried snake went slower
than anything else nn the program, and
the fact became apparent that snake
food would not become very popular In
this locality. _____
