In Mining Camp

JACKSON, Calf, June 25.-Alli-
gator hunting is the latest fad in
this mountain mining camp. far re
mote from the usual haunts Of the
saurian reptiles.
Ruehen Ford, superintendent of
the county hospital. and B. Ham
brick saw the reptile glide into some
rushcs skirting the edge of the
Kennedy Tailings dam, used by
Jackson children as swimming
hole.
Now ANYBODY who declares he
saw an alligator in this part of the
country-wcll he can expect citizens
to sniff his breath. Then some
body saved Ford and Hambrick from
embarrassing positions by remem-
bering that six wears ago. the late
DR.. f. f. Endicott brought a baby
alligator from the southland for a
pet. = The reptilian curiousitv
escaped shortly after It's arrival in
California and hadn't been seen
since.
