Robbed of Eggs.

At the alligator farm the females are
robbed of their eggs as soon as they
finish depositing them. These are then
placed in an incubator for Matching. Aft
er being Matched the little ones are
placed in an enclosure, to prevent their
elder brothers and sisters from eating
them. They grow very slowly, so that
an alligator two feet long is at least
fifteen years of age, and one twelve feet
long may be anywhere from 70 to 100
years cid Some reach a length OF six
teen or eighteen feet and are supposed to
attain an age of more than 500 years
If allowed to follow their ALTERNATING
habits in captivity the alligators would
bury themselves in the mud and lie dor
mant for nearly half of the year, ami
business would have to be suspended dur
ing that time on the alligator farm. A
way had to be devised for clrcumventing,
in part at least, this alternating instinct.
The winter quarters are in long. low
building, divided into many eompart-
ments Each compartment contains
pool of water through which runs steam
pipes so that the water can be kept at
a constant temperature. One small
pond will contain 300 or 800 alligators In
their dormant condition, piled ON top OF
one another, like so many sticks Of fire.

MURDER MOST FOUL
Hungarian Boarding House Keeper VIC
tim-His Wife and Her Lover
Arrested as Suspects.

Last Monday night the dead body Of
George siesek, Hungarian boarding
house keeper at LendwoOd, was found
out in his yard. There were marks
OF his having been choked and beaen
over the sides Of the head with blunt
instrument of some sort, but the skull
was not fractured. The circumstances
leading up to aud surrounding the
case, as brought out at the inquest,
and resulting in the arrest OF Hun
garan named Sesock, the alleged lover
of the dead maa's wife, and later OF
the wife also, are about AS follows:
Siesek kept boarding house for
Hungarian laborers al the Leadwood
mines, and among them was Sesock.
Siesek became. jealous of the latter's
attentions to his wife and of the wiie's
department toward him; so, a short
time ago, he made Sesock leave his
boarding house, but the wife continued
to see and meet him, and Siesek
thought under the circumstances he
might as well take Sesock back to
board with them, which he did. On
account of the alleged relations be-
tween Sesock aud Siesek's wife, il is
said that Siesek told his brother that
he intended TO taae his wife aud child
back to Pennsylvania to separate her
from her alleged lover.
Last Monday it appears that the two
men were drinking together during the
day. After supper all the boarders
except Sesock went to work, leaving
the two men aud the woman at the
house. What happened after this is
not known, except that the dead body
of Sicsek was found out in the yard
about II O'Clock that night in the
condition described above. Sesock
was brought to Pennington by Sheriff
Croke and placed in Jail, and ycstcr-
day he arrested the woman. The
woman has a child about eighteen
months old.
