OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH.

Georgia Boys Escape from an ALI
gator.
The alligator, as is we'll known, swal-
lows its prey whole and digests it at
leisure, like many others of the reptile
family. 1t is to this which is given as
fact by the Rome Hustler, Georgia,
that Edward Roland, of that city, owes
his life.
In Ronald's boyhood his parents
had winter home in the neighbor-
hood of Sanford, Fla, which is near
Dennis creek, locality which was
then famous for it's numerous alliga-
tors. When little fellow, too young
distinctly to remember the circum-
stances, the boy was out with his fa-
ther on the creek shore, and was left
alone for little while, playing with
some pebbles.
Suddenly the father heard Edward
scream and ran in his direction. He
reached the spot just in time to see the
little fellow disappearing down the
gaping throat Of huge alligator. Mr..
Ronald had his gun in hand, and, quick
ly taking aim at the saurian, fired.
l. OA luhdbSiSs Tie Juliet SlTucK the
brute in the eye, penetrating the brain,
and killed it instantly.
The feet of the boy were still pro.
truding from the reptiles mouth.
The father, not daring to hope that his
son was alive, cut open the alligator,
thinking to obtain the boys remains
for burial.
To Mr.. Roland's delight, the body
showed signs of life, and after several
hours of hard work the boy was re-
suscitated. The only serious injury
was to the ankles, which had been
crushed by the reptiles teeth, doubt
less when in the throcs of death.
Since that time Roland has been
crippled, but only to the extent Of
wearing steel braces on his ankles. He
enjoys the unique distinction of hav-
ing been almost swallowed by an alli-
gator.

the Light, who is serving out his sentence
for sending improper matter through the
United States mails, was investigated.
The account of the assault was given
in The CALL esterday and reiterated by
Price who said that in consequence of
articles he had written concerning Cath
oiicism and its believers he had exerted
the i'll will of a large num- bar OF prisoners.
He said:
They got after me q week ago Thurs
day in one of the snort passageways lead
ing to the jutemill. l was Keeping tally
on the conyicts as they went to dinner
and Lambert was calling them off TO me.

chair. Lambert held one away. but the
other gave me black eye. Captains
Jameson and Sullivan came to my rescue,
and got off very luckily. Since then the
prison officials have treated me very nice
ly, and have placed me on the outside,
where there is no fear OF my being mo-
lested again."
Convict O'Brien was the one who hit
Price in the eye and Convict JOHN Nc
Nulty, the murderer, is said to be the per-
son who engaged i'll struggle with Lam
bert, but to what purpose is not clearly
understood. O'Brien told two stories to
the directors, the substance of which was
that he struck Price for having cast
slurring remarks upon the Catholic sis
ters and fathers. Captains Jameson and
Sullivan did not throw much light upon
the case except to tell of the trouble

rior Court of Marin County was convicted
and sentenced to twenty years lmprison-
ment in Folsom. But for this Kelly would
have been out of prison by this time. The
claim was allowed, to be paid out of the
general appropriation, as the State law
provides for the REIN bursement of coun-
ties for the trial of the States convicts for
crimes Committed within the prisons.
The matter of getting another large sup
ply of coal for the prison mills provoked
considerable discussion. Commissary
Tharp stated that there are several coal
dealers who would like to bid for the next
contract. However. the cheapest kinds
are not always the most economical for
steam-making purposes. The board de-
cided that all the kinds OF fuel offered
should be tested, and all bidders were
given the privilege of placing 100 tons In
The mill for a test, stipulating that the
bidders should be paid for the same at the
price per ton offered by the successful
bidder.
Seven parole petitions were considered
by the board and the following five cases
were favorably reported, to be paroled in
July next:
George L. Walton, Tulare County, robbery
sentenced to sixteen years; term expires May,
David Johns, Butte County, grand larceny,
five years; term expires April, 1898.
George Besette, Los Angeles County, rob-
berry. ten years; term expires May, 1899.
Matthew Thompson, Butte County, robbery,
five years; term expires July, 1898.
Frank Gibson, Kings County, grand larceny.
ten years; term expires February, 1900.
The petition of Clinton r. II. Lee for a
restoration of his credits was taken under
advisement. In 1884 he was sentenced to
twenty years, from Fresno, for Stage rob-
berry, and seven years ago he was mixed
up prominently in an attempt at a jail de-

Edwin Mcknight, Hesley Williams,

How the disease obtained q foothold in
the hospital is mystery, for, as lar as
known, the sanitary arrangements are as
good as money could produce, and the
greatest efforts are made to preserve the
physical welfare of the inmates. It is
suspected, however, that some one of the
children recently admitted had the germs
of the disease in his or her system and
that it developed after being received and
that the weather being favorable the
scourge spread rapidly among the poor
little patients whose poorly nurtured
frames were not calculated to withstand
its march.
The theory is given color from the fact
that majority of the inmates come from
the poorer districts of the City where i'm
perfect sanitation aRd crowded tenements
are favorable to the development of diph.
liberia and other contagious diseases.

disease has made many others will be

James E. Marley, the man who was

to skip, but he decided to remain and

Some Five Hundred Books Sold to a
Second Hand Dealer for $50.
A collection of BOOKS of the late General
w. T. Sherman was sold in St.
Louis recently for $50. 1t consisted of
about 500 volumes of army records, regi-
mental histories, courts-martial records
and general assorl ment of war litera-
ture. The sale was made by Thomas
Dooley, a carpenter. who did work for
General Sherman while the latter had his
headquarters in this city as the com
mander of the United States army.
According to Mr.. Dooley, General
Sherman gave him the books just be-
tore he left st. Louis. The carpenter kept
them until he moved from 1928 Morgan
street. short time ago, when he packed
the library in four large boxes. He then
sold the outht to downtown book dealer
here for $50. The dealer was not aware at
the time that he was securing a bonanza
