A rather singular but Observation-Disclosures
story comes to us from Baker county con-
corning the queer conduct Of an alligator
which inhabited large pond called the
Goose pond, near Lomax, on the line Of the
South and North Alabama railrond. gem
tleman was going to the saw-mill with one
or more logs drawn by oxen, when he was
attacked en- route by one of the many alliga-
tors which 1t seems inhabt that curious
spot. The gentleman, who was q plucky
fellow, showed fight, and, as an earnest Of
his hostile purpose, threw q pole-ar at his
nlligatorshlp, which the latter disposed of
as hungry man would dispose Of choice
sandwich. In plain English, he swallowed
II, and then, as an earnest Of what he pro-,
posed to do, made for his assallant, who,
fearing that he might follow the AK II he re-
mained, fed for dear life. The alligator
then attacked the oxen, and had succeeded
secured endorsements, returned to the
assault. An Immediate attack ensued, which
resulted, after much effort, In the death of
the amphibious brute. II measured seven
feet In length, and was regarded as u fearful
object even In death. The goose pond In
which this creature had his residence, and In
the premises Of Colonel j. W. Hughes, Of
this city. We are informed that petition
is now being circulated among tho citizens OF
that vicinity, the essence Of which Is re-
quest to the Colonel to remove his little pots
10 Montgomery or some other place beyond
the limits Of Baker county, The people say
that the alligators have very open counte-
nances, but that not even a Yankee clock
pcddler can take man In quicker than they.
Hence II Is that they so earnestly desire and
request their removal. We protest, how
ever, against their being brought to Mont
State some service here especially during
session OF the Legislature, but the unframed
animal might be indiscriminate. We can do |
