By the Associated Press. SANDUSKY, Ohio, July 22.—A search | by skeptical Sanduskians for a “sea sor- pent” in Lake Erie near here ended last | night when two Cincinnati cement | salesmen anncunced they had captured an 18-foot snake while they were fish- | ing in Sendusky Bay. The snake was held in captivity teday Ly its finders, Frank Bagentose and Clifford Wilson. Bagentose and Wilson said the snake came te the surfuce of the bay near their rowboat. Wilson hit it with an oar. Hauling it into their boat they took It ashore and packed it in a box. They said they would take it to Cin- cinnati today. Harold L. Madison, curator of the Cleveland Muscum of Natural History, | exemined the snake and judged it was a python. “Jt is not a native of this section,” he said, “nor of any place within several thousand miles.” Several theories were offered how the reptile might have reached Sandusky Bay. It was suggested it might have escaped from a zoo or circus. Also it was recalled that such a snake was re- ported to have escaped from an Erie Railroad express car a few miles south of here several months ago. In the past few days several San- duskians had reported seeing a “sea serpent” in the lake, but until the 18- foot snake was found their friends be- lieved they were joking, and today many persons continued to suspect some cne was perpetrating a hoax. There was no denying the snake, however. : “I am not an authority on snakes, of course,” Madison said. “However, it is obvious that the creature is a snake and that it is a tropical snake.” Madizon estimated the snake weighc: around 100 pounds. i
