Alligator Hunters
Get IN Scooter in
Browns Mill Lake

M UCKALEE creek is not the only
AE1 place where alligators abound
and where they may be killed. Fred
Sills, Claude Mauk and Otis Brown
proved that last evening when they
got an 8-fOot 'gater in the lake at
Browns Mill, eight miles east of
the city on the Vienna road. The
reptile was killed after dark by
shot gun, four charges being re-
quired to finish him. An electric
searchlight assisted in the hunt.
Mr.. Sills told the secret of the
gator hunting by night.
"A high power searchlight was
attached to the prov of the boat"
said he. This light was flashed
out over the lake, in one directOnn,
then quickly reversed in the other
direction. Attracted by the light
on the lake, the alligator rushes to
the surface and thrusts his head
out of the water. When the light
is suddenly turned upon him on
the reverse, he is blinded and ap-
parently helpless, and remains mo-
tionless while the hunter shoots
him."
According to Mr. Sills this gator
weighed more than $50 pounds. He

fatal shot was fired, after which he

QUICK DECISION
AGAINST ROAD
FOR LESS THAN
HALF SOUGHT
Size Of Award Construed as Tribute
TO Strong Fight Put Up
by Dykes.

A verdict for $4,000 for the loss of
his right leg under a Seaboard freight
Car in January, 1918, was returned
shortly after o'clock this afternoon
by jury in Superior court in favor of
Clinton Johnson, s year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Johnson. The jury
had been out only a short time, the
judge having ended his charge about
IL 40 O'clock and the dinner hour in
tervening Mr.. Johnson and his son
were in court to hear the verdict, and
left shortly thereafter without COM
ment. Later Mr.. Johnson said pri-
yately that he had expected verdict
of at least 100000.
The amount asked was 100000, and
the smallness of the verdict which was
generally surprising about the court
house, was taken as a tribute to
the wonderful fight made in behalf OF
the railroad by w. w. Dykes, who de
Tended the suit.
Following the opening argument by
Attorney Boatright, of Cordele, for
the plaintiff yesterday afternoon, Mr.
Dykes addressed the jury a considera-
BILE length when court convened this
morning, dissecting the evidence thor
Oughly and bringing out to its fullest
force all of the contentious of the
defense. 1t was the railroads asser-
tion that the car which struck the
boy in coupling operation was not
in the street, as the opposing side
contended, and he pointed out the
testimony of Edwin Mauk the little
bOv who was with Clinton at the time
of the accident, that they were hang
ing onto the car, instead of being on
the bicvcle, to show lack of negligence
or liability on the part of the road.
Mr.. Dykes also enlightened the jury
on what he had been trying to adduce
the dav before in plying Clinton with
questions about a paper or statement
that had been presented to him. he
declared that the manner of the boy
on the witness stand showed that he
had been coached and drilled by some
one in his answers.
J. A. Hixon, for the prosecution,
made a closing appeal in behalf OF
the crippled lad that at one time
brought tears to the eyes of a num-
her Of court room spectators, and he
dramatically closed by having the
boy, supported by crutches and his
right leg missing just below the hip,
stand before the jury for few min
utes.

against the same railroad, brought by
the father of the Johnson lad, were
continued for the term, it was an
