FIGHT WITH A PYTHON
WEIGHED 200 POUNDS. A giant python, 20ft long land weighing 2001b, was recently eaptured in Zululand by Mr. F. Weiner, the big game hunter, after a remarkable struggle. "When I approached it," he said, "it reared up and I threw my hat into his paws, and then grabbed it behind the head. The snake lashed its tail round me, but I managed to avoid its attempts to get a better hold until native assistance came."
