Sydney CONDER who was admitted to the Coolgardie Hospital last Thursday suffering from snakebite is in a serious condition. Condor saw a rabbit enter a burrow and thrust his arm in and was bitten on the hand. His ‘mates’ scarified the bite to such an extent that there was a great loss of blood, which combined with an overdose of alcohol, he being a tee totaller, has completely prostrated him. He was made to swallow two bottles of brandy while coming in from Red Hill where the accident occurred. His mates managed to keep him awake with a whip.
Note: As there is no death registration in Coolgardie for Condor we can only presume that the unfortunate fellow survived his mates ministrations.
