Snake Alarms Householder
When Mrs George Kruger, of 673 Fairview street, Camden, opened her front door yesterday she started back in affright. Coiled up directly in front of her was a large snake and it seemed as if it was about to strike at her. She ran into the house screaming with fear. Policeman Harry Orrens, who is a neighbor, shot the reptile. It measured six feet two inches in length. It was found to be a pine snake and absolutely harmless.
