Cincinnati.-Capt. BILLY" Thompson
and fire crew 80 were seated in the en-
CINE house at Clarion avenue and
Montgomery road, Evanston. when a
succession of yells came from the eel
lar, where Pipeman William Gehringer
was fixing up hose nozzle.
The f1remen rushed downstairs and
found Gehringer pointing to an i'm
mense black snake that had coiled in
one corner and. as 1t had no means
of escape, evidently meant to fight.
Captain Thompson and Lieutenant
Perry Doyle put an end to the snakes
life with clubs.
When measured 1t was found that
the serpent was few inches over
five feet in length. Captain Thompson
says that the company went out to a
small fire in a foundry on Northside
avenue few days ago and, after the
blaze was extinguished. the hose was
unwound and laid for some minutes
in the high grass and weeds adjoin-
ing the building before 1t was placed
in the wagon.
