On Indian Creek, about five miles from Prescott, a Mir. Wallace has an open air camp where he and a Mexican in his employ cook and sleep. A few nights ago MT. Wal lace was called away on business and the Mexican left alone. The latter went to bed early, slept soundly until some time after mid night, when he awoke with that un- accountable feeling of impending peril, familiar to all men who have passed their lives on the frontier. Filled with this nameless dread, his breath came quick and short and with eyes open and ears intent to. catch the least sound, the Mexican lay still under his blankets, when he heard a dull, dragging sound, as of some one pulling a limp body over the ground, accompanied by a peculiar blowing noise like that of slightly broken-winded horse. He sprang to his feet and hastened to dress himself. A small cloud had just settled over the face of the moon, but through the darkness he saw the dim outline of some ani- nal, whose glaring eyes were about three feet from the ground. The dragging sound had ceased; the blowing grew louder: the cloud passed oyer the moon and the scene was suddenly lighted up, when, hor- TOT of horrors, the Mexican saw, a few feet from him, monster snake with head erect, at least three feet from the ground, arched neck and flaming tongue, like the prongs ot a fiery dart gliding back and forth through it's monstrous jaws. Being totally unarmed, the Mexican sprang back to get out of the way, wher the snake lowered its head anC swiftly glided away.
 Such was the story told by tho Mexican to MT. Wallace, on the lat ter's return. Mir. W. placed no faitl in the yarn, until he examined the camp ground, found the snakes trail and followed it for half milC through the sand. Mir. W. says thu trail was we'll defined and iron eight to nine inches wide that it led through the sanC for full half mile, when 1t turn oC up a perfectly perpendicular banl five feet high and was lost anon! the rocks on the hillside. Whero the snake ascended the bank, 1t body had come in contact with large, loose log, and the log haC been turned half around from 1t old location. As Mir. Wallace is serious and thoroughly reliabl man, this is no sea serpent yarn but a real live Arizona snake find.- Prescott Courier.
