Mr. Marvin's Alligator.
Manager Marvin of the City Electric
railway has two lively alligators at
Mobley springs. He has fixed up one
of the pools and placed a strong wire
netting .over it. Here the saurian ß
basked secure from the pokes and
jibes of small boys. Yesterday 'the
larger of the two found his quarters
too small and in some mysterious way
got out and started out on an investi
gating tour. When It was found that
his alligatorsbip bad disappeared, a
searching party was immediately
formed, and for a long while the chase
was fruitless. Mr. Marvin was very
much worried for he supposed that
his pet had disappeared for good and
all. Presently one of the searchers
shouted,and sleeping peacefully under
the bank of the lake lay the truant.
It was easily captured and placed
back in its den.
