Holman ]. Marden and Otis C.
Webster Of this city, who are passing
the winter in St. Petersburg, Fla,
have been having exciting times late
y in their efforts to get specimens of
alligators, according to letters recent
ly received in the city. On one occa-
sion while they were in the marshes
near ST. Petersburg in company with
Mr.. Flemming Of that city they were
attacked by one Of the most deadly
of snakes, a water moccasin, which
measured four feet in length. The
snake struck for Mr.. F1emming's legs,
which fortunately were protected by
heavy leggins. Mr.. Narden grabbed I'd
a club and held the snake down in
the mud while Mr.. Flemming beat the
reptile until it was dead. Pictures
have been received showing the fine
specimen Of an alligator which Mr..
Marden killed. The alligator measur-
ed IS inches in length and was a most
valuable specimen as the squares on
the back were very small. Mr.. Marden
has had the head and claws Of the al
Egator mounted. Mr.. Marden writes
that he expects to return home about
April 1 and that his health has i'm
proved greatly during his stay in that
climate.
