pass the car driven by Mrs. Crowl

Exciting experience with Gila
monster befell Mr. and Mrs. jim
Hubbard Sunday, on the desert north
of Glendale While looking for ma
terial from which Mr.. Hubbard
makes his cactuc curios. a large Gila
monster was seen under a mesquite
bush. Mr.. Hubbard cut a forked
stick and held the monsters head
down, thus keeping it. from jumping.
Mrs. Hubbard held a sack open and
by pressure from the forked stick the
monster was forced into the opening.
Midday heat on an Arizona desert
was evidently too much for even a
Gila monster to stand, as it died en-
route to Phoenix. The specimen was
left at a taxidermist's, and a beau
tifully mounted Gila monster is one
of the priced curios the Hibbards will
send back to Massachusetts, from
Arizona.
