A HKROIC GIRL Fights n Desperate Battle With a Huge Alligator. ARMED WITH A BURNING LAMP Alice \flMiii Viinrkt'il the Iteptile and Saved Her Invalid Mother and the (''utility of t 'hildreii. A brave girl's clt sperate tight with an enormous alligator is described by ati Atlanta Journal com-' spondent at Ma 11 tie lulls. Texas A I i t Nelson, who hves will) her mother and young b otbc and sister in a cot I age tut t he hanks or the Hiyou Magce, is tin heroine of the remark.ihie adventure. It was about. 0 o'clock in the evening when Mrs. Nelson, who is an invalid. e tiled her daughter's attention to a curious grating sound that caine from the room next door. The children had been playing there hut a short, time before, and the mother, who was exceedingly nervous, felt worried at the slightest hint of danger. Alice Nelson, though she is only IT years of age and frail In appearance, has a rare amount of pluck and determination. She arose quickly and hastened to the children's room. The spectacle that met her gaze as she threw open the do >r was sutllclent to unnerve a stronger peoon. A Ml" UN I NO LAMP 1IKH WKAl'ON. In the flickering light of the log lire she saw tier little brother and sistir asleep upon the hearth rug wearied, with their play they had lacked energy to climb on the high four-post lied in the corner. Crawling slowly over tin. flour in the direction of the tire was a great slimy alligator. Green foam dripped from its ponderous jnvs and its wicked stony eyes glittered with a balcfvl light. Alice Nelsor perceived that not an instant was to be lost il the lives of the little ones were to be saved. Already as she stood in the doorway the hig reptile was within about five, feet of the little girl's recumbent form. There was no time to look about for a proper weapon. Seizing a large oil lamp from a table within reach of her arm the girl leaped forward with a scream, calculating to diaw the attention of the reptile from the children to herself. As with open mouth it turned toward her she raised the llaminglatnp above her head and threw it with all Hit' strength she possessed into the open jaws of the monster. With an angry hollow tlx.' saurian snapped his saw-like teeth together; and then, while the Jets of burning oil enveloped his head, he plunged around the Hour lashing his tail and writhing with agony. Chairs and tables were smashed to splinters, and the noise of the breaking furniture combined with the bellowing ol tit' saurian quickly aroused the household. CIIILDKISX HtHKAMINO WITH KltlOllT. "1 never ouce thought of my own danger." says this heroic girl. "My mind was lixed upon rescuing the little children, who were screaming will) fright and so dazed by the awful scene tlr.it they could do nothing to help t hemselves." Thanks to the power of will. Alice Nelson was able to cope successfully with her terrible antagonist. She avoided his charges and tlie deadly sweep of his tail by her rapid dodging from side to side. Without losing one] of the o omcnts so precious to her in the unequal con est she picked up the j children and tossed them upon the high b d in the corner out of the monster s track. The cries of her mother, who still lay on her couch in the front room ignorant of the exact cause of the tumult, attracted the girl's attention and she would have run to her, hut as she turned her head the alligator was almost upon her. and at the same moment the front door blew onen mul the two housedogs ran in to the aid of their young mist ress. It was because the front door had not been securely fastened t hat the alligator was enabled to gain access to the house. Prowling about in search of food?young pigs or stray puppies the creature had penetrated to the children's sleeping room without being observed by any one in the small household. Goaded bv the barking and snapping of two dogs the saurian floundered out of the children's room and made straight for that in which lay the invalid mother. HOT COALS IN ITS MOUTII. Mrs. Nelson says that when the alligator crawled into her room it made straight for the glowing embers in the hearth. It was evidently confused as most wild beasts and reptiles are by the light and was partly blinded to the objects around it. Alice Nelson might have taken refuge upon the bed in her mother's room, but recollecting the good use to which she had put the lamp, she grasped a large tire shovel and tilling it full of red not coals dashed it again at the creature's open mouth. Enraged by this second llcry attack the alligator doubled suddenly about and leaping clear of the floor fell upon the planking of the lloor with such fury that the whole house swayed and shook with the shock. The noise of the impact, minified with the loud bellowing was such that Miss Nelson stood for a moment completely unnerved and on the point of fainting. Hut she rallied her benumbed faculties, and in the hope that the saurian might be driven out of the house by the dogs she encourged them to hark and snap at its tough, slimy hide, which even their sharpest fangs could never penetrate. T1IE IIATTLK WON. As the now thoroughly maddened saurian floundered aliout in agony upon the lioor the girl's eyes fell upon tiie tall andirons, one of which had been shoved into the coals and was already glowing red witli the heat. In a desperate attempt to drive the creature out she picked up tills Iron and hurled it at the glittering, vielous eyes. Hut apparently the creature was heedless of this form of attack by this time, for it only bellowed the louder. "The lost part of the experience," ! said the girl, in telling of It afterward, "was the most terrible of all. , I had run to the back door after a 1 heavy axe which I knew rested there, and with tills in my hand 1 rushed back to my mother's lied room In time to find the alligator with Its front feet resting on the lx*d. "it was making clumsy efforts to drag Its whole body up ihere, where I my mother was crouching In terror. I knew that In spite of Its awkward ! | movements and the burns that had disabled it this maddened rept lie could j >till deliver .1 w? il directed blow with its powerful tail t hat would fell uu ox. "So 1 had to be very cautious In approaching. Hut at last t tie opportunity was presented, and I stood neai enough to the venomous head to ( raise the heavy weapon in iny hands and deal a stroke at the neck Just back of the skull. The steel crashed through > Kit?i the tough hide and the tougher hone and lay hurled to the helve. 1 sprang away iust in time to : he out ot reach of t lie death struggle." !' When the friends of the family ar- , j rived and were told what had happened they could hardly credit the story. ' I The great saurian lay quivering on 1 the floor, and the house looked as if it j had been wrecked by vandals and shaken by a cyclone. The alligator was dto the hanks of the hayou, where it. still ' showed masterly evidences of vitality as it was beinu chopped to pieces. Miss Alice Nelson is now the heroine of the neighborhood, and her adinir- . ersaie preparing to present her with a good rille lltat will send Stt'el bnllcts through the toughest hide. , GEN WILIE JONES APPOINTED t To Succeed the laito Mr. Dukes on ! I tie DiHpeiiNary Hoard. Governor Ileyward has appointed ' Gen Wilie Jones to succeed the late t A. F. H Dnkes on the board of dlrec- i tors of the State dispensary. Gen. 1 Jones had accepted the appointment, but will not stand for reelection at the hands of the legislature at the expiration of his term in January of next N year. He has served on the board before, having been chairman of the first J board organized after the management was transferred from a board consisting of certain State ofllcials to a board elected by t he general assembly. The following statement was given out from the governors's ofllee last, night: "This appi iutment was made after much careful (Consideration. There were many applicants for the position and many well qualified to discharge s its duties, itut, after most carefully considering the situation the uovemor concluded to appoint Gen. Jones becausc of his previous long andetllcicnt , service as a member of the hoard, his f eminent fitness for the position by , reason of his long business training ( and tlie very high esteem in which he , is held by everybody in the State. ;] "Gen. Jones was not an annlicant ? I for the position and lias consented to accept only to till the unexpired term j with the distinct understanding that he will not consent to he a candidate t for reelection liefore the coming legis- , I lature." ( The State state says the appoint- , ment of Gen. Jones will no doubt cause ^ no little surprise, but will probably meet with general approval, for he is v well known over the State and is chairman of the Democratic party organization. There are now in Collim| bia a number of delegations waiting to ( urge upon the governor the claims of ( their respective candidates and to ^ them the news of the appointment j may come as a shock. t The people ??f South Carolina can- i not appreciate how the governor has \ been besieged for the past three days, i The telegraph companies have reaped s a harvest, the special delivery letters ' have come by dozens and the long distancce 'phones have been kept busy. Having taken time by the forelock the governor no doubt has avoided a lot of annoyance in the way of other appeals for him to appoint tills, that or the other one to a place which seems to he ' coveted very much. * An Old SoliliiM'H Fall.
