The Knoxville Press and Herald Of
the It'll says;
About two years ago VIM. 81. Turley,
Esq, Of Mcmillan station, Knox county,
received by express from New Orleans a
young alligator. Not having the time or
inclination to take the proper care OF
ally" Mr.. Turley gave him breathing
room BY throwing Mr.. Gator into the
Holston river, opposite McMillsn's. Yes
terday morning two small boys we're
swimming in the river about half mile
above Knoxville, when they suddenly
noticed a strange and ferocious looking
serpent swiftly swimming toward them.
Fortunately the boys we're near the bank,
and they had presence Of mind
sufficient to enable them to reach
the shore, from which they fled, without
a moments loss Of time, and with reckless
indifference to the fate of their clothes.
Reaching home they informed their father
Of the fright they had rseeived, The old
gentleman accompanied the boys to their
late bathing place, and there was aston
ished BY seeing the huge proportions offs
full grown alligator, lazily stretched out
in the shallow Of the river.
A number Of rocks thrown at the sleep
ing alligator soon caused it TO move swift
" of. The boys dressed themselves and
went home and related the story to their
mother, who cautioned them mot TO 20
into swim in future anywhere near the
water" The alligator is undoubtedly
the game one thrown into the river near
McMillan's, two years ago. II has grown
