Mayor Scheerer Survives Black Snake Attack on Island Camp
While picnicking with the Galena tourist company at Baume's camp, Mayor Scheerer was grabbed by a large black snake in thick undergrowth. After a struggle the mayor kicked the reptile on the head, stunning and killing it with his shoe. The snake, though numerous on the islands, is nonpoisonous. If a rattler or copperhead had been involved, serious danger would likely follow. A note at the end advertises a gold watch sale for 25 cents at O C Kraehmer's Saturday evening.
