K. G J. P.ET-
XOLDS, of Oil
City, Pa., was in
New Torb this
week on his way
horse from Asbury
Park. Dr. Eey
rnolds, besides Uav
7mg reproduced in
miniature the
"Coal Oil John,
ny" oil farm, on
Oil creek, which
will bo exhibited
at the "World's
Fair, probably)
knows more abont
rattlesnakes than
ear other man in Pennsylvania, excepting
only Pete Gruber. of Oil City, known far
and wide as "Rattlesnake Pete."
liernolds and Gruber, are fast friends and
associates in the critical business of catching
rattlesnakes alive. I at one time witnessed
the operation as performed by these two
snake erperts of chloroforming a monster
rattler and removing his fangs. It was an
exceedingly interesting operation and was
done successfully.
Dr. Reynolds, while in 2S"ew York this
week, gave me some new points about snake
catehinc and snake culture, and also kindlv
supplied me with some photographic scenes
o: the last inaJie hunt by himself and
Gruber.
Tlie Favorite Rattlesnake Ground.
The favorite hunting ground around Oil
City," said Dr. Reynolds, "is in the vicin
ity nine miles above Oil City, on the Alle
gheny. We make a trip up there once a
year, and always catch a lot of snakes. This
year we went May 11, driving over the
country in a wagon, as we always do, armed
with all the necessary paraphernalia for
a chic, which consists simply of a forked
stick each, with which to pin the snake to the
ground and a box to put the reptiles in after
we have caught them.
"The fnake stick we cut in the woods
and it answers the purpose of a cane. It is
rbout four feet long, w ith a small fork on
the end. When a rattler Is encountered a
dextrous ctab with this stick pins him to
ihe ground without hurting him. "When
that is done my business with his snakeship
is done, for I liave no desire to take a live
snake in my hands. That, however, is pre
cisely what 'Rattlesnake Pete' likes to do.
The snake's head may not be pinioned to
the ground, but that makes no difference to
Graber. So the snake isn't free to run is
all ho asks, and watching his chance he
Seizes It Hack of the Head
with his naked hand and after amusing him
self with it awhile he puts it into the box.
Of conrse, the snake does its best to bite
him, but his hold is so cloe to its head that
it can't do it. All it can do is to show its
fangs and darting tongue, but Fete got used
to seeing these long ago.
"The best make den in the Ticiiiity I
speak of is on a high ridge on Stewart's
Kuo. There is a ledge of rocks on the ridge
and every vcar snakes are plentiful here.
There are, "l dare sav, thousands of them,
nearly all rattler, but on accouct of the
many rocks affording them hiding places,
it is possible to capture onlv a few of those
you see. At first sight they scamper for
the rooks and you have to be alert to inter
cept any of them. This year we captured
liincalne. Last year we" captured 2L All
of these Gruber caught in his naked hands.
It is frightful to see the way a big rattler
twines himselt around " the arm of
his captor, making his horrible noiBe
all the time. The longest snake captured
this year was exactly 6 feet, and it had 1G
rattles. The shortest was 4 feet 10 inches.
This smallest 6nake was a male, with dark,
diamond-shaped spots, and was exception
ally vicious. He made a much more des
perate fight than any of the larger ones."
Ammonia as a Sr.ako Antidote.
Dr. Reynolds said that tho only precau
tion taken by Gruber beforo handling his
rattlesnakes was to rub ammonia on his
hands, so as to cover any cut or abrasions of
i at smn. jLue no.son oi a snace is narm

"Some of those big rattlers," said the
Doctor, "will throw the poison out of their
mouths a distance of four or five feet. If
any of it gets into a cut in your flesh it

it jost as dangerous as the bite of a snake,
eo we always take the precaution to use
plenty of ammonia. I have seen the poison
running from a rattler's mouth down over
Gruber's hand, but he never experienced
any ill effects from it. The poison is a yel
lowish, syrupy substance and not a very
pleasant thins to look at, particularly when
running from a big rattlesnake's mouth
over a man's hand."
In the photographic scenes accompanying
this article t je man in his shirt sleeves is
Pete Gruber, the other his friend. Dr.
Reynolds. Gruber keeps a saloon in Oil
City, and in the rear of it is his private mu
seum where he keeps all his snakes and every
conceivable creeping and crawling creature

of his customers, though the presence of
such a variety of snakes would not seem to
be a particularly drawing card for a saloon.
reptiles there, ai.M he goes to a great deal of
trouoie ana expense to get tneni, besides
the risk of being bitten.
The Doctor's Miniatnre OH Farm.
Dr. Reynolds belongb to one of the oldest
and best known families of Oil City. He is
a dentist, with a skl for making almost
anything that it is possible 'for any me
chanic to construct. His genius in this di
rection is shown in his miniature mechanical
oil farm, where a dozen or more pumping
well6 and a train of cars rcn automatically.
Dr. Reynolds lias been offered $1,500 for his
oil farm, which makes it even more valuable
than many of tbe old farms on Oil Creek.
Gruber hasin his privatcmuseum what he

calls his"Happy Family," which consists of
one opossum, one raccoon, one house cat, one
monster blacksnake, one hen, several white
rats and other animals and birds all of
which live together without a break in their
domestic felicity. In the museum proper

heads, 7 blacksnakes and many snakes that
are not venomous. Besides the snakes there
ore alligators, a brown bear, a 4-months-oId
coyote, many varieties of owls, parrots and
scores of other curiosities, all going to make
a very respectable country museum.' If a
big sucker, a strange animal or bird is cap
tured anywhere within a hundred miles of
Oil City it is pretty sure to find its way to
"Battlesnake Pete's" museum.
Handled 500 Live Snakes.
"Gruber has been catching snakes for
nine years," said Da Reynolds, "and in
Too Very Fine Catcha.
that time he has certainly handled 500 live
snakes of every kind. He thinks no more
of handling a live rattlesnake or a copper
head than! would of handling a canary
bird. As for blacksnakes they are not ven
omous, and I have seen him thrust his
naked hand into a cage containing one of
them and let it strike his naked hand iust
for the fun of the thing. The first time I
saw him do this it made the chills run down
mv back.
" 'Just Eee how hard that fellow strikes,' ,
ne saia, anu, noioing tne palm of his hand
toward the 6nake, it would strike him a
dozen times. Holding his hand perpendic
ularly before the snake it would not be able
to do more than simply strike its head
against his palm, but this it did very easily.
"In all the snakes that 'Rattlesnake Pete'
has handled, he has been bitten but once.
This was last fall. Gruber was showing P.
C. Boyle, of Oil City, and some friends
through his museum one day, and whilo
carelessly handling a big ratter, it fastened
its fangs in his right hand. He coolly
loosened the snake from his hand, put it
back into its box and then sucked the
wound with his mouth. Some ammonia
was brought and poured onto the wound,
and then Gruber drank three or four glasses
of whisky. Boyle had a doctor there
speedily, and the wound was cauterized.
The hand and lower part of the arm swelled

considerably, but in three days Gruber was
well as ever. The marks of the snake's
fangs are still there, but he suffered but
little inconvenience from the bite after the
third day."
A Snake 3Ian on Snakes.
Dr. Reynolds states that there are snakes
in Gruber's museum that have been there
for three year's without a bite of food. It

ministration did in four years. Tho SO-cent
