A CURIOUS BATTLE.
Desperate Contest Between n Lizard
and II scorpion.

From the virginia City Enterprise.
George Jennings, the wei. known tail
irgs sluice man of SIX Mile Canyon,
describes queer battle which ne wit
messed one day last week between lizard
and IA scorpion. He says the lizard, a
black one, ABOUT eight inches in length,
came out OF pile OF lumber, and his
attention was first particularly attracted to
it by seeing it bo5bing up and down IN an
excited manner, occasionally CREEPING
forward foot or to. Looking in the
direction in which the lizard was creeping
MIR. Jennings observed scorpion, some
four inches in length, sitting upon pile
Of moist sand that had accumulated near
one Of the sluice boxes.
Thinking tho lizard meant to attack the
scorpion, and being curious to see what
would be the result of battle between
the pair. Mr.. Jennings was careful to do
nothing that would disturb either. The
lizard moved quite near the scorpion,
when it brdced itself upon It's forelegs and
began bobbing its head and bowling in a
ludIcrous aud lnannerlng way. The
scorpion erected It's tail which 1t Vlbrated
| in threatening manner. The lizard
circ!ed round the scorpion, occasionally
hating to bow at him. AT length, how
ever. the scorpion attempted to crawl
away. The moment he began crawling
the lizard darted upon him like fast
and sdroitly seized him by the last JOINT
of the .ail--thst which contains the poison
sack and at the poiut of which is situated
the sting. Having this hold of the
scorpion the lizard was safe frou
its sting, but had apparently
no means of doing any turthel
damage. Presently the scorpion TWISTED
himself about and tried to get hold OF thu
lizard with his claws, which are like thu
claws Of lobster or crawtish, whereupoi
the lizard shook him as dog would shak
rat This was repeated dozens OF times
the lizard resting after each shaking unit
the scorpion began to go fof him with hi
nippers. The battle lasted over half a
hour. At hast the scorpion no longe
showed fight and the lizard dragged hi
away into the lumber-plle MIR Jennine
says ne has been in the country 20 years
has seen lizards daily by scores during tn
summer months aud scorpions very FRI
quently, but never before saw battle {
! tue kind and never had the least idea thu
: q lizard would attack q scorpion.
