Rattlesnakes grow so big in
Wilkes that they are mistaken for
dogs and swallow frying-size
chickens.
On H. T. I’less’ farm in the
Reddies River section there is a
chicken house with some lumber
piled on the floor. His children
while playing about the premises
saw what appeared from a dist

lumber.
Closer examination showed the
chickens legs sticking out and
they thought that there was a dog
holding the chicken under the
lumber. They took hold of the
chicken’s legs but were unable to
pull it out from under the lum
ber.
They told their father that a
dog had a chicken under the
chicken house. He went looking
for a dog and fonnd nothing.
Then the children led their moth

was pulled out and with the
chicken came a huge rattler
which had swallowed the fryer
