The Atlanta Constitution August 29, 1887
From the Cherokee Advance
The little five year old son of Tom Pope stepped upon and was bitten on the 
left foot by a rattlesnake last Monday evening.  Dr. Turk was sent for and 
administered an antidote, and the little fellow is now doing very well.  The 
snake was killed, it had three rattles and a button. 

John Casteel shot and killed a rattlesnake near the Micon gold mine, four 
miles northwest of Canton, last week, which measured four feet and four inches 
in length and seven inches around, and had nine rattles and the inevitable 
button.  He was an ugly, dangerous-looking fellow, although he showed no signs 
of fight.
