Near Kissimme, Fla, last week, a
gentleman riding along in a buggy
noticed a large hawk pounce upon
and fix his talons in the body of a
black snake. The snake immediate,
ly coiled itself around the hawks
neck and the contest oflite and death
began. After watching them for
some time, the gentleman got ont,
threw them into his buggy and then
drove to a neighbours several miles
distant. The contestants each still
retained their grip on the other,
though both we're yet alive. They
were then dispatched.
