A Georgia Story.

The Rome Hustler says that Edward
Roland enjoys the distinction of being
the only person living who was swal-
lowed by an alligator. The saurlan
swallows his prey whole and digests it
at leisure, and it is to this character
istic that Roland owes his life.
When boy his parents owned a
winter home near Sanford, Fla, which
is near Dennis creek, where there are
still more alligators than can be found
in any place else in Florida.
At the time mentioned, it was liter
ally swarming with the huge reptiles
and the largest ever killed were secur-
ed here, one measuring over 10 feet IN
length.
Young Roland had gone with his
parents to point on the St. John $
river, near the mouth Of Dunn s creek
and had wandered away from them.
Suddenly huge gator emerged from
a small lake and started toward the
creek, coming Immediately past the
place where the boy was seated on the e
bank, kicking pebbles. The child d
started to run, but stumbling, fell
head first, Immediately in front OF the
reptile, which swallowed him at once.
Young Roland s screams were heard
and the parents reached the scane Just
in time to see the disappearance OF
their son down the huge throat OF the
saurian. The father, never dreaming
that the boy was not killed, shot the
alligator, the ball fortunately striking
him in the eye and penetrating the
brain.
The feet of the boy were protruding
from the mouth Of the dead alligator,
and with the thought Of only obtain
ing his remains for burial, the reptile
was cut open. There were signs OF
life, and after several hours Of hard
work the father succeeded in resucit
ating the boy, the only serious injury
being to his ankles, which had been
crushed by the reptiles teeth when he
was in the throes of death.
Since that time Roland has been
cripple, but only to the extent OF hav
ing to wear steel braces on his ankles

a War Story.

Colonel John G. Reed, who is rated
among Atlantas very ablest attor-
neys, has any number Of good war
stories, if he would only tell them,
but it is only now and then that he
gets into reminiscent; one OF these
times is when he is waiting for jury
to bring in favorable verdict. Colo
mel Reed was in the retreat from Get
tysburg, and rode away from the Fed
eral lines in an ambulance, having re-
ceived painful wound in the knee.
"It was queer experience" he tells
it. "In the same wagon with me was
a man shot through the arm and an
other that had been struck in the
back by piece of shell. 1t was not
very rapid firing, but we were grad
ually getting into better shape for an
orderly retreat. I can't remember
now just how long the wagon train
was, it was quite lengthy one. just
as we came to the forks OF the road
we heard o lot of yelling, and we could
tell it was the yankee cavalry. we
heard them and finally found out that
they were moving the wagons down
the road we didn't want to go. Soon
T heard sort of soprano voice, and l
managed to look out and see young
fellow about seventeen years old
standing near the Federal cavalryrnen
and yelling at the top of his voice for
the confederates to turn out. There
are only thirty-one, he yelled: Get
ting no responses, he hurled all sorts
of Incentives at them, and said enough
to anger them. He was saved, how
ever, from the fact that his LETT arm
was still in sling from the effects OF
a bullet wound. Soon we heard the
old fox yell, and knew the confederate on
infantry was coming up. The caval-
rymen soon discovered it and mount
ed rapidly, the young confederate in
the meantime berating them, and ask
ing them to stay a while longer and
get warm reception. Finally all had
mounted and gone but one fellow, a
roly-poly sort of a Dtchman, who was
unable to mount. He tried to get into
the saddle, but his foot insisted upon
slipping out of the stirrup. The slim
Young confederate, in that high-keyed
voice, devoted his entire vocabulary
to that one man. When the Dutch
man did get mounted, the infantry
was close on him, and he was mad.
He charged at the little confederate,
and we all thought, as his sword
flashed in the air, that he was going
to ride him down and kill him. The
confederate didn't move, but when
the cavalryman was fairly upon him
drew out 32-caliber seven-shooter
and fired once-just once-at the ap-
preaching yankee. The bullet struck
the Dutchman in the center of his
forehead, and he rolled from his horse.
In five minutes he was dead. 1t was a
dramatic scene, I can tell you. '-At-

Butler and Farley.

Gen. Maury tells story, worthy OF
everlasting remembrance, about a
South Carolina soldier, Col. Haskell,
whose arm was shattered so that am
putation at the shoulder was neccs-
sary. The surgeon was about to ad-
minister chloroform when Haskell
said: "Stop, doctor! You must have
very little chloroform since the enc
nv has declared it contraband of war.
Is it not so ?" eyes, Colonel" F"
''Then keep it for some poor soldier
who needs it. [ can do without" "
Another anecdote Of a similar kind is
thus related by Gen. Maury:
Gen. NJ. G. Butler, of South Caro-
lima, was seriously wounded and
manned for life at the battle Of Bran
dy Station. He and q young captain
named Farley had just come out Of
action in the early morning and were
laughing together over some amusing
incident they had noticed. At that
moment cannon ball came bounding
at them. 1t struck Buffers leg above
the ankle, tore through his horse
and cut off Farlcy's leg above the
knee.
Down they all went. Butler began
to stanch the blood with his handker-
chief and advised Farley how to do
the same. Capt. Chestnut, Lieut..
Rhett and other officers came running
to Buffers help, but at that moment
he observed that Farley's dying horse
was struggling and seemed likely to
crush it's rider.
eco at once to Farley !" cried
Butler. "He needs you more than I
do"
They did as they were bidden, and
Farley was placed in a litter. He
asked them to bring his leg, and
put it, too, in the litter. Then he
said:
"Now. gentlemen, you have done all
for me that is possible. [ shall be
dead in an hour. God bless you for
your kindness. I bid you all an af-
fectionate farewell. Go at once to
Butler" F."
That evening Butler leg was dress
ed in the hospital just as poor Farley
breathed his last. The two men had
never seen each other till that morn
ing.

decided at that time that the Little
Bros. mine must close. Then there
could be no equivocatiOn. no quibbling,
no half way measure. 1t must close
and remain closed.
In consequence of the conclusion ar
rived at that meeting bou 400 miners
started out of Bartonville at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. They came from
nearly all the mines in the district.
Without anything having beer prevl-

and were ready to use desperate means
to accomplish desperate ends.

trouble went to h mines with a posse.
The strikers crossed the Illinois on

sheriff who commanded peace and rea-
