Sept. 11, 1912 page 5 Evening Times Cumberland, Md. LONACONING - While John Cosgrove, John Robertson and John Fazenbaker were digging out bottoms in Detmold mine No. 12 yesterday they found a live black snake imbedded in the coal. The snake was 4 1/2 feet long and very much alive. John Fazenbaker has the sanke, and it is apparently enjoying life in the open. Last Sunday in this same mine, a live toad was found entombed in a piece of coal, and in one of the mines up the road a toad was uncovered by the miners' picks. How long these reptiles were in the coal no one can tell - and it is useless to conjecture how they got there. WEIRD - Ruth Sprowls
