GILA MONSTERS SENT
HERE FROM ARIZONA
venomous Reptiles Ars o.
Deadly - RattIesnskes :
Owned by Frank r. Fife.

Frank r. Fife has on exhibition at
his place of business. ZIG East Eighth
street, two large animals of the lizard
family. which he received Monday
from a friend in Arizona. They are
known as Gila monsters aud are slid
to be more deadly and venomous than
the rattlesnake. Mr.. Fife has spent
two winters at Phoenix, Arizona. and
while there heard much of the mon
sters, but was never able to secure one.
A friend was more successful and sent
the reptiles to him.
One Is about IA and the other 16
inches in length. No one cared to
make a careful measurement Their
bodies are thick and drag upon the
ground, but locomotion is by means ol
four legs resembling those of an alli-
gator. They are colored dull blacl,
and yellow and are sluggish in move
ment, yet when touched they show a
qlickness that Is remarkable.
They thrive in the desert districts
OF Arizona and are much feared by the
natives. Naturalists differ as to their
deadly character. They are repulsive
creepy looking animals, with heads re.
sembling diamond rattler. They
have long, blue tongues, which are
thrust out like that of snake. The
name is a Spanish one, spelled gila
but pronounced hela.
