Butte Druggist Studies Rattlers In Local Westward Field
August E Jensen, a local druggist at 401 South Montana street, has spent a decade capturing rattlesnakes in the southwestern part of the state. He reports snakes travel in pairs, may not warn before striking, and that one has the potential to strike two thirds of its length. Jensen uses ropes, a short wooden tourniquet, and a rotor blade for safety. He keeps captured snakes for commercial use, studying venom for an antitoxin and extracting oil for medicinal purposes. He also produces motion pictures showing snake habits.
