LITTLE Rock, ARK, November 24.-
The monster alligator which has inhabited
the swamps near fuckers Lake, jefferson
! County, Is no more. For many years II
ruled supreme for radius of several
miles around its marshy home. The com
munity avoided the swampy lair, and ter
ror and dismay overcame those who were
compelled TO venture near 1t remained
for Miss Dottie L. Steck, of Bellwood,
Pa, to remove this incumbrance, which
she did with a deXterity that would cause
the ordinary female to shudder. The
young lady, who is visiting relatives in
that county whose residence is near the
Lake, upon hearing the alligator story,
determined to capture the thing. Being
accustomed to adventures at her home in
the Alleghenies, she laughed at the idea
Of serious results, and, In company with
two young ladies and several gentlemen,
set out to accomplish her purpose.
The party soon struck the trail, and
tracked the alligator to his den. A hole
in sandbank indicated the location, and
little digging revealed the object of the
search, and the ominous growls and furl.
GUS laShingS that arose from the spot in
formed the adventures that the king OF
reptiles was within. The egress from
the den to the lake having being securely
stopped up, the enraged beast found It's
avenue of escape cut off, and rushed up
and down lis bed utterng wicked growls,

the water in all directions Pieces of
timber and fence rails were pushed into
its mouth, only to be crushed and snapped
off by its ponderous Jaws.
A rope and chain made into laSso was
thrown over the brutc's head llen he
was suddenly jerked to ,ae bank. The
appearance Of the monster in the midst OF
the venturc.au.t party created panic,
and all save ne heroine beat hastv r..
treat, selecting friendly oak as place
of safety. With gun in hand, the Young
lady stood within few feet Of the now
thoroughly enraged beast, which was
growing, struggling and lashing its tail !
on the ground in frightful manner, and |
when the opportunity presented itself she |
fired both barrels in rapid succession |
The aim did its work. The alligator gave
tremendous lurCheS and rOars and ey- |
pred Both shots had entered one Of the |
few penetrable places at the base of the |
jaw. 1T measured fraction over ten feet .
in length. The hide was removed and is |
