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. *
