Whipa An Alligator.

From the American Republican.


From the American Republican,
Recently man living at Dooly, Ga, was
looking for some hogs which he had missed
for several days, and was nearing the river,
when he heard u COW Believing Upon going
to the bank Of the river he saw on n sand bar
AN alligator, COW and calf The alligator was
between the COW and calf aud the river. The
alligator made u dart toward the calf, when
the COW rushed between them. and q fearful
fight en6ued. While this was raging the calf
got into the woods and faced about, bleating
plaintively. The alligator was not more than
seven feet long, aud struck at the COW furiousy
with its tail. Tho COW avoided rs many of tho
blows IA possible, lnt received a number one
of which knocked her rolling over for about
ten feet. The alligator rushed upon her with
open mouth aud tried TO seize her by the nose,
but size was up IN time TO horn tho alligator
under tho throat and throw IL over backward,
aud before II could strike another blow or de-
fcnd itself sho was on 1t. The COW tossed the
saurian high In the airHnd Il fell into the water
with splash, aud didnot venture TO the land
again. The COW, after rushing around looking
for her enemy ran to her calf and made tracks
through the woods for home, looking back Oc.
casioually to sec whether she was pursued.

Fate of the McKinnon.


San Francisco, April 23.-A Port
Townsend dispatch says the ship Otago
reports that few days ago, in latitude
42-14, north, longitude 129-37, west,
she sighted schooner water logged
and dismasted. One man, a Portu-
guese, named Victorine Roper, was
found on board, lashed to the wreck;
who was alive. but insensible. On re-
covering, he stated that the schooner
left San Francisco about month ago,
bound north on a trading voyage.
When six days out the vessel was
thrown on her beam ends, partly filled,
and did not right until her masts gave
away. OF eleven persons on board,
five were drowned in the forecastle,
the captain swept from the deck and
lost. The mate and the remainder of
the crew lashed themselves on the top
gallant forecastle, where one by one
they died, the last one expiring on the
day Roper was rescued. Roper's mind
is unsettled, on account of the suffer-
ing he has passed through, and he can
not give the names of the vessel or cap
tain, but from his description it is, be-
lieved to have been the schooner E. ].
McKinnon, O'Brien, master, which
left San Francisco March goth, on q
trading voyage northward.

Attempt to Assasslna.e Boot

Attempt to Assassinate Booth.
Chicago, April 23.-An attempt was
made tonight in the theatre, by man
named Mark Gray, to assassinate Ed
win Booth. The play was Richard II.
Near the finish of the last act, when
Booth sat in the glare of the calcium
light, with all the other lights turned
down, and engaged in the soliloquy, he
sat little to the right of the centre of
the stage, the prison on one side and
the cottage on the other. The intend
ing assassin sat nearly on level with
him, in the first balcony, and some
thirty feet distant. The pistol was
concealed in his sleeve, and his left
hand copy of the play. which he evil
IDENTIFY had been following with the dire
purpose of firing only at the right time.
When the first shot rang out there was
a dead silence. Booth did not stir, but
as the second came whizzing down and
plowed its way through board in the
cottage, Booth quietly rose and went
toward the wing. A rush was imme--
diately made for Gray, and as there
seemed to be some doubt which was the
man, Booth stepped out and pointed
directly at him, and saw him taken into
custody. All this time there was a
wild uproar in the house, and shouts of
"throw him over;" ''hang him." "pitch
him out the window" and the like,
were audible. He was, however,
speedily hustled off to the station and
locked I'D.

Terrible Suffering of Indians

Ottawa, April ga special an
nounces great suffering among some of
the Indian tribes in the Canadian ter
ritories. AT Apple starving band
broke into the Hudson Bay company's
store and plundered it, and La Rocque,
noted Indian rdnner, reports that
nine Crees died of hunger on the plains
south of Thunder Breeding hills. Col.
Mcleod, chief officer of the Canadian
mounted police force, says the author
tiles are face to face with danger that
may involve very serious complications,
viz: the extinction of the buffalo, and
efforts will be made during the summer
to induce Sitting Bull and his follow
ers to return to the states, as Canadian
Indians blame them for thinning out
the buffalo and driving herds south
ward. The Sioux are scattered in
small bands along the frontier and
complain bitterly of privations. There
Is no talk of war. The bands travelling
south are simply looking for food.
