RAT v. WEASEL.
A few days ago the inmates of Mr 1-irosnahan’s dwelling at Konini were startled by seeing a rat running into the kitchen with a weasel in hot pursuit. Apparently a fight had started outside the building, and must have been so furious that the rat in his endeavour to escape ran into the house for protection. He was pretty well exhausted. ■' ■Both rodents took no notice' of the persons in the house, and continued their fight. The} 7 ran into a bedroom still fighting. The inmates of the house then took part in the fight, and soon despatched the rat, but when they tackled the weasel they found the task more difficult. Sometimes it would turn round and charge. After a while a dog was called in. Even then the attacker did not succeed, and the services of a second dog had to be secured. With the aid of the two dogs and sundry missiles the weasel was killed.
