Big Alllsatsr stery..

Nj. W. w. Ocain. living in the
neighborhood OF Huntsville, six miles
northeast Of Lake City, Fla, has for
years been trouble by the depredations
Of . large alligator. His track 40 he
made his way through the fields has
been often seen, aud the frequent dis.
appearance Of hogs occasioned tLis
gentleman to make offers for his teeth.
With the hope Of destroying this pest,
he put out bait and poison several weeks
ago. The bait Vas taken, but still the
alligator took In additional shotes. A
large hook was obtained and baited.
but bait and hook were taken, the latter
by gnawing the rope which held it.
Things were becoming desperate,
and the recent dry weather favored
Mr.. Ocain. Last Saturday the alligator
was trailed to his hole, and, finding it
muddy, IL was concluded that he had
just sought retreat. A negro was
sent in, but was Immediately seized BY
the leg, and with difficulty was rescued,
badly bitten. However the party sue
ceeded in killing the alligator, which
measured ten and ahan feet. He was
skinned and opened, and in him was
found the hook, . large pig, and
several other things. Having been
fed 90 well it was thought good time
to try alligator steak, but this was pre-
vented by the suggestion that the meat
might be poisoned. A dog, how ever.
was permitted to eat his I'll, and,
strange to relate, in short time was
