A — jj CmLV (Written fay Edgar Page, Jr.) The following etoxy firet appeared In 1 the Railroad Men's Mag-seine, and the writer declares the incident occuired several yeere ago: V It waa the night after the Fourth of .1 July. Big "BiU" Turner had been to 3 of the many parka with Ma family A the Fourth. His two bays had . 1 coaxed him to take the^ to see the big snakes in the dde show. "Bill" was an soprsas messenger for the Central 8tates Express, running between two great cities. ' Aa he strode along Ok street 00 his way to the general office where be checked out run. bis mind tamed toward, the park be and his family had waited the day before, and to the snakes. It was forgotten with the hurry and tie. of a Union Station. Train 754 stood on track No. 9, were eleven can£in the train all I with exprres and : perishable | fruits. "Bill's" car 966, was .the second from the rear of the train. "Pretty warm tonight, Bill," said Jim Wilson, the stationary safe man, he walked into the car to open the safe. . j "Yes, warm night, Jimmie, glad the refrigerator is well iced." . 3 "All aboard !" and engine 889 began to creep slowly out of the yard and through the many suburbs of the great city. ."Bill" was busy checking freight and the firet two hours of the long run slipped by before he was aware, the lights of the big .Pennsylvania town beginning to sparkle like the dew on the mountain sfde in the.early morning. The train drew into the yard and the many truck loads of express were qoickly loaded on. "Bill" noticed a box marked "With Great Gare," but in the rush of putting off the shipments of money and taking on j of locked baes and valuables, and the clatter and noise of the great city, the box was forgotten. The valuables messenger had called his signs and gotten off at Wilmington a' d the train was speeding through country towns ' and across bridges as "Bill' picked up his lantern and went to the refrigera- | tor end of the car to check the freight 1 taken on at Peon's town. In one corner of.the car was s crate of pigeons. These birds seemed to be greatly disturbed by the presence of something in ' the car which was tightening the. very ■ I life out of them. "Bill" went over to the crates, tilted it up and peered in I to see what caused the birds to flutter. 1 Nothing could be seen. "Guess those ' birds are 'd^ffy.' " said "Bill" as he ; set the crate down and went back to his work. The pigeons still' fluttered about. "Bill"' set his lantern on the floor and when he did he saw the trouble — Rattle snakes in every direction. The pigeons had detected the presence of the unwelcome passengers, but "BiU" had not even smelt them. Rattlers " smell like cucumbers when boxed up. Quickly looking around bim be picked . up bis lantern and dragged the crate > out of the refrigerator, slammed the ; doors and drew the big iron bolt. Two of the snakes were quicker than "Bill." as they were out in .'the main part of the car. Taking down his r trusty carbine "Bill" crawled up on the big sate and began the ride of his ' life, of two hundred miles without a stop ■ One of the big lattlers crept slowly toward the safe. Bang ! went the , carbine, but the messenger's aim was bad. On came the snake." "Bill" thought of wife and children at borne as he SBt and watched! death slowly creeping toward him. The big rattier coiled to strike but could not get into action as the car floor was slippery from oil spilled out of a bucket of packing for the car wheel journals. All night long Turner sat on the safe. As the train was ntaring Newbury Junction, he hastily scribbled a note and threw it out of the door as the train aped 4>y the tower. It read like this: — — "General Agent Green burg: "risvemen from Zoological Garden meet seven fifty-four. Car full of rattlers. W E. TURNER." The note was picked up by the track walker and taken to the towerman, - who wired Greenburg the news. It quickly sprea 1 and when tbe Special rollqd into the station a great crowd gathered around the car. Tbe men climbed in and caught nine large rattlers. The box which "Bill" had noticed marked "With Great Care," was found to be broken open and the contents gone. The waybill called for eleven live rattlers. Nine were all that were delivered to the consignee. The other two had slipped through tbe drain pipe. One was found at Bradford and killed. The other wai run oyer at Glenolden. "Bill" returned home by a passenger train and^did not work for a mon-h. Everywhere along the" O. & B R. B. Bill Turner is callei today "Rattle Snake Bill, the Charmer. " This was nine years ago but side shows or circuses have no attraction for Turner. - = 1
