GOPHER AND SNAKE
IN DEADLY CONTEST
Magnificent Specimen of King Species
Is Killed In Cage, but Succeeds
In Strangllng His As
sailant

Special to The Herald.
GLENDALE. June ga battle
royal between king snake ana u
gopher of unusual size, which enoeo
in the death of both participants, was
witnessed by several spectators at the
Casa Verdugo today. The snake was
torn by the sharp teeth of the gopher,
but had strength enough left to wind
it's coils about the neck of the rodent,
strangling 1t to death in Its hnal
struggle.
The king snake was a magnificent
specimen, nearly four feet long. that
had been captured in the foothills on
Kenneth road by Frank England, land
Escape architect for the PACING Eiectric
road. The gopher was caught in one
of the traps of C. A. Sowl, proprietor
of the Casa Verdugo. :,
The battle took place in small
space in which the two animals were
confined. The gopher was the agrees
sor. The snake at first was peaceaDly
disposed and sought corner OF the
Enclosure. 1t lay there coiled, its SIDES
flashing with the circles of black ana
orange which make it one of the hand
soonest of snakes. The gopher wrin-
killed. its heavy snout, made blunt by
pushing it's way through long under
ground burrows, and rushed the snake
in it's corner.
A set of sharp teeth penetrated the
tough snake skin and met through the
musclese of the sinuous body. me
gopher proved much more active than
had been anticipated and, with
spring, got away from the snake De-
fore 1t could retaliate.
The king snake has no fangs ana
is perfectly harmless except to small
animals which 1t can wrap in Its folds'

confronted anything more formidable
than a lizard and hesitated to meet
an animal as large as gopher. How
ever. il is one of the few foes feared
by the rattlesnake. It is so agile IN
it's movements that the RATHER IS I'M
able to strike before the coils are tight
ened about its neck.
The gopher made several dashes at
the king snake, each time setting its
teeth in some new portion of the long
body, and the spectators had conclud-
ed that there was no fight In the king
snake, when a change took place IN
the arena. The body of the snake be-
came more tense. Several inches or
head and neck protruded from the
coils, as straight and stiff as an arrow.
The gopher hesitated. Its every mo-
ton was followed by that threatening
arrow which kept perfect aim IL
started another rush at the coils, there
was a flash of black and orange and
in the next instant two bodies beat
the floor in their death struggles. Tne
snake had made one loop ABOUT the
neck of the gopher and the gopher had
closed its teeth once more in the
snakes body When they were sep
arated both were dead.
The only similar fight in this part
of the country, so far as Is known,
was held on Mt. Wilson two years ago
whcn king snake was pitted against
a rattlesnake and came on victor.
Sowl regrets the death of the king
snake. as he is planning geological
display of native California animals,
and this was one of the finest speci-
mems ever captured

LOCAL ITEMS BRIEFLY TOLD


REDLANDS, June 26.-Threshing
outfits are now getting into the field to
handle the grain crop which has been
cut in the Beaumont, Banning and Yu-
caipa sections. The crop in these dis
tricts this year is estimated to be about
$4,000 sacks most of which is marketed
through this city.
Berry Roberts, an aged rancher living
in the San Timoteo canyon, is seriously
Ill as a result of a sunstroke suffered
yesterday. He was found in the field
beside his pillow last evening, and it Is
believed that he must have lain there
for not less than ten hours in an un-
conscious condition. Old age and illness
are supposed to have induced the
stroke, as sunstroke to healthy persons
is practically unknown in this climate.
During the summer months numer-
Gus improvements are to be made on
the various school buildings of the city.
Several buildings will be painted and
fire escapes will be erected on one or
two.

whether the attachment can be made
