A separate tale tells of two men King and Weikert finding large snakes in hollow trees near White Rock Cumberland township with a total of 74 young snakes. In Winterstown Daniel Hamm age 60 was struck in the eye by a green pear hurled by boys John Waughter 16 and Walter Keemer 12, who are jailed for mischief.
