4 Rare Day for Alligators.
Otlnndo lFla.l RepoTteI

Monday proved field day for the nj
ligators. They came out in large num-
bers to b,sk in the warm sunlight after
the rain. Fatal recreation! Every
body on board went to shooting them.
Even the scullion would leave the dish
pan to take shot. and it seemed hard
to miss them. The champion slayer
was an old hunter from the Grant State.
Whenever he raised his rifle death was
in the air, and it's sharp report was the
crack of doom for some cousin of the
crocodile. The gator slayer expended
his last cartridge in the evening, but
not until he had scored his sixty-6fth
alligator. Their vitality is remarkable.
l chopped off the head Of one a few
minutes after the head was served COM
petely from the body, thrust an oar
at it. The jaws opened and snapped
to again, like huge steel-trap, driv.
ing the teeth, three-fourths of an inch
into the hard wood and splitting the
oar-handle. Even twenty minutes later
the 'gater-head would not have been
a safe toy for children.
