Twice Bitten by a Rattlesnake in Anderson Township
Mabel Wilson, daughter of Perry Wilson, was bitten twice while weeding a flower bed. The first bite on the right hand happened when she reached for weeds, and she rubbed the wound thinking a briar prick. She ran home screaming after a second strike, her father sucked the wound, a chicken was placed on the hand, it was packed in mud for eight hours, and after convulsions the doctor arrived. She is out of danger but still suffers, with many rattlers reported this season and parents urged to take precautions.
