The cowboy rode into town after having herded several hundred head of cattle through a huge number of miles of seriously unfriendly rattlesnake ridden territory.
Pardon my ignorance, but why are the rattlesnakes relavent during a cattle drive? What rattlesnake in it's right mind sticks around when a few hundred tons of earth shaking cattle start lumbering their way towards it? If I were a rattlesnake, I'd slither the hell away from all the noise, vibrations, and commotion, which would be wise, since being stepped on by just one of the hundreds of cattle would kill me, and probably only have enough venom in my little fangs to kill one of them in return. A cowboy with a bunch of cattle in front of it is only going to be bothered by snakes if terribly unlucky, and ends up disturbing the rattlesnake's hiding place. My sympathy lies with the poor rattlesnake, really. He can't sleep with all the noise and bellowing, and he has to hide from the nasty cows or get squished, or eaten by a cowboy out looking for a meal and a new snakeskin belt...
