The ella monster, one of the larg-
est ever captured here, had been plac-
ed on exhibit in the window of the
drug store, and after time somebody
brought in the bull snake TO increase
the menagerie. Both creatures were
thought to be sufficiently harmless
and they were left together for pas
sersby to see.
For long time the two did not
seem 10 notice each other. the ella
monster slothfully crawling from cor
ner to corner OF the window and the
bull snake gracefully gliding back
and forth in hopeless anxiety to get
out. Suddenly something happened.
The snake had glided close to the
ella monster. glazing at it suspicious
ly as it passed with its beady black
eyes. The Gila monster seemed half
asleep, with its horrid jowl resting
languidly on the floor. But it was
not asleep. With an amazingly sud-
den dart it stretched forth its ugly
head and caught the dainty white
throat OF the bull snake between its
grinning jaws.
Instantly the window became
scene OF action. The Gila monster
held fast with its death grip, but the
snake quickly coiled its full length
around the bloated body of its assail-
ant. In ever tightening coils the
monster was crushed and squeezed
until its tortured body was ready to
burst-but the ella monster never let
go. In few minutes it was over.
The snake relaxed in death and the
ella monster let go its hold
But the monsters victory was at
the cost of its own death. Like a con-
demned criminal it Tapped up two raw
eggs that were standing in dish,
and a few minutes later quivered IN
its death throes.
