SNAKE AT COOYAL SCHOOL
There was much excitement at Cooyal central school on Friday last, when a snake was found in a shed. The incessant barking of a dog caused the teacher, Mr. D. H. McMonigal, to ascertain the cause. On looking into the shed a brown snake was seen, and after some difficulty, it was pinned to the ground and killed. The snake was 4ft 6in. in length, and is the second to be killed on the school premises this month7 .
