Mr.. English. however. went 10 IN,

OF monstrous snake seen half mile

length and It's trail across a newly

left by the largest automobile wheel.
Measurement OF the trail shows 1t to
be about eight inches In width. The
presence of this huge snake is we'll
authenticated and people in the COM

watch. 1t is hoped the monster can be
killed within few days.
