while walking in her garden discovered a
snake. The alarm was given, which brought
a colored girl, and by the extraordinary efforts
of both the reptile was killed. During the
melee six bricks, half bushel of stones, garden
rake, one broom, Newfoundland dog and

was measured it was found to be 133 inches
