Vulturs and RattIer.

An odd battle between a California
vulture and q rattIesnake was wit
messed In the COcopah mountains OF
Lower California. Il was In the early
morning. The big bird had seized thC
snake behind the head and was strrg-
Cling upward with It's writhing, deadly
burden. The snakes captor appeared
aware that It's victim was dangerous.
The burden was heavy. as the reptile
was nearly Eve feet long.
The grip OF the bird on the snakes
body was not Of the best. The snake
seemed to be squirming from its cap
tors talons. at least su4eiently to en-
able It to strike. Its triangular head
was seen to recoll and dart at the
mass OF feathers.
II did this once or twice. and then
with a shrek the vulture dropped its
prey. The bird was probably 500 feet
or % above the observers. The as
tonished men were then treated TO a
spectacle seldom seen. Few birds but
q vulture could accomplish such a feat.
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches It dropped earth
ward like a shot, and like a shot the
bird dropped after II. catching II in
midair with a grip that caused death.
At any rate, the snake ceased to wrig-
gle, and the vulture SCARED away to a
mountain peak to deyour its hard
earned meal

less hearty although three months late
are being showered today on Mr.. and
Mrs. John Dennicker, who are at pres

months ago by a Newark justice Of

their nuptials secret until last night,
when, through an oversight on the
part of the bride, her wedding ring
was seen and her secret discovered.
Mrs. Dennicker, who was formerly Miss
May Diebold, slipped the ring on her
finger shortly before dinner-time, and
when dinner was announced, forgot to
remove the symbol. Her mother saw
the ring and, after a few minutes Of
questioning. learned her daughters Sc
cret. Congratulations were in order
and the new Mrs. Dennicker was in
short order the centre of a laughing
circle OF friends She gave as her
reason for the wedding hat she had
wished to have the laugh on her friends.
The couple will live for the present
with the brides mother at the Myrtle
avenue address.
John Dennicker, the bridegroom,
lived in this city. Mrs. Dennicker is
20 years old. and her husband Is several
