August 17, 1933: "Quick action by the look-out man in the lonely forest tower at Apple Orchard, near Natural Bridge, saved a Negro boy from death by a rattlesnake bite. After sustaining a bite from the reptile, the boy, on his way to the tower, killed the snake.
The look-out man, William Dawson, applied a tourniquet, and telephoned to another camp for a suction pump, which arrived an hour and a half later. With the life-saving instrument he removed the venom, and within a few days the youth was reported out of danger." (Idaho Evening Times)
