of course, loosened the hook, and Mr..
Gator went further back in his hole.
We thought it was impossible for the
three of us to get him out, and we sent
Mr.. Barton back to the camp for the
rest of the boys. There We're five more
down in camp, eight of us In all. The
last word that Mr.. Barton said when
he left was; ''Now, don't touch that
alligator till I get back" But the mo-
ment he got out Of sight l said to
Harry; II am going to tackle that
gator again" So / got the pole and
jumped out on the little island, gave
1t a shove, and caught Mr.. Gator
again-got him the first shove, and
held him there. Harry jumped out
with me- and we commenced pulling,
Instead of pulling a steady pull as
the three of us did before, we would
just give it one quick jerk with all our
might, bringing him out couple of
inches each jerk, and then we would
hold steady and rest, still holding taut
on the pole. The minute we felt the
gator let up the least bit, we gave
another puick pull, and by so doing we
got him out where we could just see
his nose.
Now, there was excitement when we
saw that nose. We held him there, and
Harry said to me: How are we going
to kill him?" l told him: You just
help me pull him out, and the minute
his eyes shine you shoot him." and at
the same time telling Harry to hurry
up. as we wanted to get him out and
kill him before Barton and the rest of
the gang came up.
so before we pulled any more we both
picked out in which direction we were
going to run if he came at us. Harry
| was going to jump to the left on the
| bank. and was going to stand and
shoot at him and take the chances.
So we commenced pulling again. Every
pull brought gator toward us about
| two or three inches more. AT last Mr..
| Gator commenced tc grunt, and they
| make, by the way. the most horrible
| noise you ever heard in your life.
| When we got him so that he was out
| of the water to within about two or
three inches of his eyes Harry picks up
his gun and stands one side, and gave
one more pull. That pull brings into
view the alligator's eye. The minute
his eye shows Harry shoots, hitting him
about half an inch too high. Mr.. Ca
| tor gives one jump, and just as he
jumps Harry shoots again and strikes
him plumb center in the eye, and the
| gator stops sharp.
But we didn't dare pull him out when
we were not sure he was dead, so we
| shot sixteen shots into him, when
really the second shot had killed him.
So after we had plugged him full of
holes we pulled him out on the little
island. BY the way, that island is
known as the alligators basking bank,
where he basks in the sun.
| Just as we got him out we heard Bar
ton holler: We're coming, Mackp'
For reply Harry and l gave three big
| yelps. / can remember how Barton
| looked; he came round through the
grass, and then, as he got where he
could see the alligator, he stopped
| short, and said he:
That's a mean trick. + thought you
| said you wouldn't go for the alligator
till came back" We told him that the
temptation was too strong; that we had
to punch the alligator anyway, and

The health of Grand Duke George,
heir presumptive to the Russian throne,
goes from bad to worse, and the most
sanguine have given up all hope of his
recovery. When he arrived in Odessa
from Algiers a few weeks ago, 1t was
noticed how haggard and worn he
looked, and how he walked doubled up
almost, and with the aid of a stick.
Since his arrival at Abbas-Tuman, the
dowager empress has been assiduous in
her care of him, and two eminent ply
sicians have been ordered from Europe
to consult with the Russian doctors as
to his condition. When was in Savas-
topol the other day l heard that the
emperor had ordered everything to be in
readiness there in case he was sum-
moned suddenly to his brother. Abbas-
Tuman, where the sick grand duke lies,
is an exquisite little place, lying in a
beautiful wooded valley, which is shell
tered from northern and easterly winds.
The grand dukes bungalow is a prettily
ornamented cottage uncovered in
shrubs and flowers, and with a magnif
icent view of the Caucasian SHOWS. The
Gurians, as the natives are called, are
branch of the Georgian race, and are
famous for their physical attractions.
1t is universally said that the grand
duke is a. most amiable and righteous
prince, the favorite son of his mother,
deIighting in little acts of kindness to

Down hp IN, Uanaaa S.,,ro.,,e roOrt


An Important Decision Affecting 1t Handed
Down b. thH Kansas Sunrrn'" r""rt.
Topeka, Kan, May 1.-The supreme
court yesterday handed down decisions
In a number Of important cases, among
them the case Of j. Is. Watkins against
N. II. Glenn, involving the Constitn-
tionality Of the mortgage redemption
law. The decision of the district
court OF Harper county, from which
an appeal was taken, was re-
Yersed, Tho court holds that
the law concerning the sale and re-
demption Of real estate passed by the
legislature Of 1893 does not apply to
mortgage contracts existing at or be-
fore It's passage, and II the legislature
intended the act to apply TO such con.
tracts, II violated an important provi-
sion of the constitution of the United
States.
Another case decided is of interest to
old soldiers It Is to the effect that
when q veteran, who Is very poor,
dies, his family may bury him and the
county shall stand the expense up to
$50 The custom is for the county to
bury such nnfortunates by contract
let to the lowest bidder, the same as
in cases Of ordinary paupers. The
supreme court says that the law In
tends that old soldiers shall have a
decent burial, and that the county
shall pay moderate expense.

SAN Francisco, May 1.-The esti-
mate Of the auditor OF the city and
county Of San Francisco that there
would be a deficit In the treasury ct
the end OF the fiscal year July of $780,
900, and the fact that the payment OF
the April bills Of contractors for sup
plies will exhaust the funds appOrtioned
for that purpose has led 10 crisis which
is now at the acute stage. This Is the
last day Of grace that the contractors
who furnish supplies to the city au-
thorities have allowed for payment Of
their claims They now threaten to
shut of supplies and thus virtually
force the city officials into acluiescence
by starving their charges in4the Jail,
almshouse and hospitals,
Reports from the several institutions
show that none Of them are in q posi-.
ton to exist beyond few days. The
county jail, especially, is In bad
plight. Acting Chief Doughorty said
that unless supplies were furnished to-
day he would be compelled to disband
the fire department, as both feed and
coal were exhausted.

thousand coal miners employed along
the Ohio extension of the Norfolk &
Western railroad struck yesterday. All
the men in the Flattop coal region
with the exception Of 1900 men en-
ployed by the Southwest Virginia Inn
provement Co. and the Browning mines
were going out. The immediate cause
of the strike was the notice by the
operators of 90 per cent. reduction in
wages from May l.
The miners throughout the Hoe king
valley are all out until the scale shall
be settled. 1t is believed the suspen-
sion will not continue more than a
week. A similar state of affairs at
Massillon has been called strike, but
information here Is that the men are
only out waiting 3 settlement as to
what their wages are to be.
