Vulture and Rather.

An odd battle between California
vulture and a rattlesnake was wit
messed in the Cocopah mountains OF
Lower California. 1t was in the early
morning. The big bird had seized the
snake behind the head and was strug-
Cling upward with it's writing, deadly
burden. The snakes captor appeared
aware that its victim was dangerous.
The burden was heavy, as the reptile
was nearly five 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 sufficiently to en-
able 1t to strike. Its triangular head
was seen to recoil and dart at the
mass Of feathers. ''.f
It did this once or twice, and then
with a shrek the vulture dropped its
prey. The bird was probably 500 feet
or so above the observers The as
tonished men were then treated to a
spectacle seldom seen. Few birds but
a vulture could accomplish such feat.
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches it dropped earth
ward like shot, and like a shot the
bird dropped after It, catching It in
midair with aNgrip that caused death.
at any rate, the snake ceased to wrig-
GLE and the vulture scared away tofa
mountain peak to- devour Its hard
earned meal. r. =

GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA
DEPLORES LACK OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT

Montgomery, Ala, July 30.-In his
message to the legislature, Governor B.
3. Conner advised making prohibition
constitutional because the members
who passed the present law no doubt
intended a revolution in the relation
of the state to liquor, and had in mind
fixing 1t so the state would never again
have saloons or liquor licenses.
In his opinion, prohibition should be
disposed of so that 1t will not be recur-
rent at every election and a disturbing
factor in the politics of the state.
Necessity for further statutory pro-
hibition acts are found, the governor
hints. In fact that in many sections the
law has been disregarded. He deplores
the effort to defeat the laws by spend
ing money, and thinks it is a sade state
Of affairs when citizens have to orga-
nize law n order leagues to enforce
the laws that officers are paid to en-
force, concluding, that when officers OF
the law commercialize themselves,
anarchy is drawing near.
