have had some experience with giIa
monsters and can state that matter
what scientists may claim ,he gila mon
ster Is a good thing to shun. Indians
and MeXicans have horror of them
and fear them more than a rattlesnake.
l believe that the bite of the ella mon
ster is dangerous because of the crea-
lures habit of eating lizards, bugs and
rodents and then lying on sand so hot
that 1t blisters the hands and feet of
men. The heat causes the food to put
rely in the stomach, evidenced by the
fact that the teeth are often covered
with a fermented putrefled froth from
the food. A bite has the same effect as
the cut of a dissecting knife used on
a cadaver lin other words, tl-1 inocula-
ton of a deadly poison"
