Not a Pleasant Sight. FROMOUK EXCHANGES. A Combat in Midair J. II. Lee came in yesterday from the American ranch, west of Pres­ cott, and related to the Courier a strange story. In the mountain crags near that ranch several fam­ ilies of American eagles have for years reared their fearless brood, and have, in the main, been unmo­ lested, their chief prey being snakes and other reptiles unwelcome to mtn. in the same section a spe­ cies of snake known hereabouts as the whip snake, is also common. These snakes are of the long, slim variety, seldom larger than a good- sized walking stick, but ranging in length all the way from 4 to 10 feet. They are not considered pois­ onous, but, like the boa constrictor species, wind around their prey and crush it, and their squeezing pow­ ers are said to be somewhat wonder fill So swift are these snakes that they disappear, unhat med. when struck at with a stick, like the shadow of a living bird.
