Kills Its KeeDer.


A huge anaconda on exhibition in mu-
scum at Philadelphia severely injured
Samuel Nasher, the museum watchman,
and crushed to death valuable trick pony
Sunday. The pony was tied to feed box
alongside the anaconda's cage. The rep

cage loose and while Masher was attempt
ing to replace the board, the snake wiggled
out and wrapped itself several times about
Masher. The latter screamed for help and
the pony, frightened by the big reptile,
began jumping about. This probably
saved Masher's life, for the reptile un-
wound itself from him and completely en-
circled the pony. NIasher fell to the floor
unconscious with several ribs broken
while the big snake continued to crush the
pony until life was extinct. lasso was
secured and the anaconda finally captured.
