Railway Foreman Claud Morris and His Crew Dispatch 61 Water Moccasins at Mud Cut Station, Aug. 17, 1922

Big Snake Story

A big snake story comes from Mud Cut, a small station on the C.C. & O. Railway south of Marion. It is said that while Section Foreman Claud Morris and a force of hands were engaged in repair work there one day last week they killed a large moccasin with a family of 61. The story is vouched for (by) M.O. Biggerstaff, who witnessed the killing of the serpent and counted the little ones.
