there should be an end made to the
election Of senators by sinister com

Butte, Mont.-The story Of an ex-
traordinary battle between two
sheepmen and mammoth snake, com
ing from laurel, a remote section OF
Montana. in the Little Pryor noun
tains, has caused great excitement
among naSuralists and others. The
huge reptile, declared to be larger

number OF terror-stricken Indians
whose superstitious fright sent them
fleeing from the neighborhood long
before the actual capture Of the snake
was accomplished. The reptile is 1S
feet in length and weighs 200 pounds.
Around the body 1t measures more
than eighteen inches.
At different times in recent years,
O'Dell had heard from the Indians OF
the strange monster that made its
home in a wild canyon a few miles
from Laurel, but until three braves
returned teTror-stricken recently
from the vicinity, he took it for
granted that the story had its birth
in the superstitious imagination of the
redskins. He then became impressed
with the remarkable tale and, after
enlisting the aid of Vaught, started
forth with a party Of Indians as
guides.
At the entrance to the canyon the
swarthy guides deserted precipitately
and the two men ventured into the
narrow rayine, where large hole en-
tering near the top Of ledge covered
with slippery shale rock and innumer-
able trails leading in all directions
from its mouth gave unmistakable evil
dence that the opening was a lair.
