BROWNSVILLE, Minn. – A second rattle snake has been found in the town ballpark. Both were dispatched. Locals are two theories. One theory the season being dry, is that snakes have moved down fom the Houston County bluffs for water. The other theory: The ballpark has an infestation of rodents, which rattlers find tasty.
