Alligator Afflicted
With WanderluSt In
Danger of Muzzle
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

MILL VALLEY, March 81.
Has any one seen my pet alli-
gator about today?" was the
anxious inquiry addressed to his
fellow citizens last night by Dr.
S. I. Higgins.
DR. Higgins is the only ply
sician in the state who has an
alligator for a mascot, and the
horny hided son of Florida has
been great favorite in the doc
tors family. But the creature
has the wanderlust at times and
will stroll from the surgery to
the free atmosphere of Mount
Tamalpais. Home comforts will
not detain him when the out of
doors calls, when the wild
flowers are sweet on the hill
sides The peregrinating brute
is five years old, but has not yet
learned the meaning of "home,
sweet home"
The alligator left the Higgins
place Saturday afternoon. This
morning he had not returned,
and the doctor placed pan of
raw meat near a pool in the
yard. aud toward noon the
creature came struggling home
to its luncheon. The town trus-
tees are considering an alligator
muzzling ordinance, but no one
has yet invented a muzzle that
will make an alligator quite
secure.
