why a railroad has never been built from
this city to the *outUwssd. As far back as
1 the year 1870 the matter talked of. aud
I from time to time the project has been re
j vived. When the Jacksonville, St. Augus
tine and Halifax River railroad <>b
■ tained a charter, and work was actually
I commenced on it, the people along
; the coast fondly hoped that they were
j soon to be "put in communication
r wi*b this city ami Jacksonville by a direct
! mil communication. The road, however.
! went no further than this city, und it seemed
! unlikely that it would lie put through until
' it fell into the hands of W. Jerome’Green.
I Mr. Green saw what a rich and fertile
j country could be lapped by t his extension,
i and made arrangements to complete the
road as far as Daytona. His deatli put a
stop to this plan, and the project was aban
doned. It looks now as though the railroad
would be built. A charter has been granted
to anew company and a survey lias
already been made. The Incorporators have
succeeded in enlisting the co-oporation
of some prominent citizens, and there i* lit
tle doubt, hut that the road will soon be
built. Wednesday Dr. J. K. Rainey and
Mr. O. B. Smith left here in a carriage and
will proceed down the proposed line for tiie
purpose of looking over the route, and uo
ting the condition and resources of the
country. If their report is satisfactory,
there is every probability that work will be
commenced on the road within a short time.
This will make ono of the most fertile and
productive portions of the State directly
tributary to St. Augustine, anil when the
road is completed a line of steamships will
be put on between this city and New York.
A GREAT BATTLE.
An Alligator Tackles Three Bulls and
Kills Two of Them.
•From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Kissimmee, Fla., Dec. 19.—A very ex
citing and sanguinary contest between a
huge bull alligator aud several head of cat
tle occurred Saturday a few miles below
here, on the bank of Lake Tohopakaligo, in
which the alligator was killed and two bulls
so badly injured that they had to be shot,
and another was rendered almost hors de
combat. A party of hunters, several of
them visitors from the Tropical Hotel here,
were camping out on the lower shell mound,
eight miles southeast of here, which
overlooks the lake, though several
hundred rods from the shore, which
is marshy and grassy. Cattle gather near
there by the hundreds, as the grass is
always fresh, and black flies, their bane on
most’lake sides, generally absent. While
eating their dinner that day the hunters
were startled by loud bellowiugs that came
from the lake, aceonipanied by the well
known “cry" or grunt of alligators. On
hastily getting to the bluff a most exciting
scene was witnessed. From the appearance
of the field it would seem that one of the
old bulls went to the shore for water, ami as
he was drinking a big 'gator swam up and
seiz and his nose. The sjiectators came ou the
Held ju-t a moment atterward.
The bull, a big black, with a pair of
magnificent sharp horns slightly curving
backward, was taken at terrible disadvan
tage, and began bellowing loudly and en
deavoring to shake off his antagonist. The
’gator liud secured a firm hold, however,
and he clung tenaciously, churning the
water into foam with his immense tail, the
blood streaming from the bull’s lacerated
nose, already dyeing the waters red. With
a mighty effort the bull plunged backward,
hauling his “attachment” partially on dry
laud, and the fun waxed furious. The bull,
rendered frantic from the pain, endeavored
to hook the ’gator, and, failing in that,
staaiped at him and plunged around madly
to get rid of his foe, Attracted by his bel
lowings, two other bulls came furiously
down the slide, and, seeing the 'gator
plunged at him. Observing his new
enemies, the latter tried to escape, but too
late.
One of them caught his horn near the
’gator’s fore leg, and with an upward toss
tore a big hole in his side, the saurian re
sponding with a deep roar of anger and
pain. As the other bull came on tue ’gator
thrashed around with his tail and gave the
animal a terrible blow, knocking him over
on his side with a dull thump. His tirsr
victim was now free, and the three thor
oughly infuriated animals surrounded their
foe, bellowing and with lowered beads, pro
seating a picket of sharp horns wnieh the
saurian didn’t like, as he attempted to crawl
into the water. His three opponents now
began a systematic warfare.
First one would dash at him, escaping the
flying tail of tho big reptile, and give him a
dig with his horns, and endeavor to toss him.
Tiie ’gator was getting weaker all the while,
and, though -till game, he seemed anxious to
cry quits. One of the bulls allowed his
anger to blind him finally, and as he came
on without his usual caution the reptile
whirled ami delivered a sweeping blow with
his tail that caught the animal's legs,
breaking them like pipe-stems, the old
fellow falling with a roar of madness that
could have been heard a mile, while the
saurian’s eyes seemed to gleam with t riumph
as they glowered at his enemies. Then en
sued a rough-and-tumble contest which no
description could do justice to. The bulls
plunged viciously at him, oftentimes hitting
one another in their mad rushes, while the
alligator swept his big tail around in end
less circles Hiid inflicted terrible whacks on
their sides and legs. F’orover twenty min
utes this was continued, the mingled roars
of the infuriated animals producing ear
splitting sounds.
Finullv the ’gat r again seized his first
victim by the nose, and with a death grip.
The other animal plunged in, and catching
both horns under the ’gator’s side gave him
a toss, ripping him up so that hi- entrails
protruded. The effect was seen at once, as
his terrible Hail played more feebly, but his
hold on the bull's nose could not Liu broken.
Several more ugly wounds w ere made, and
the reptile’s roars of anger changed to those
of pain ami fear. His antagonist charged
ut him time mid time again, lacerating liim
terribly. Finally no resistance was made,
tli>‘ vie,or trampling on the bloody carcass,
though the terrible grip of those iron jaws
still maintained their hold on the nose of
the first bull, who had been forced to his
knees aud was fast dying from Hie terrible
blows he had received and the great loss of
blood. Several of the watchers then went
down and mercifully shot the two wounded
bulla .
The alligator, which measured, as near as
they coaid ascertain, over 17 feet, the head
and jaws being 0 feet, was iiteraiiy torn to
pieces and disem'xiwelod. The blow and div
ere 1 by the ’gator’s tail broke several ribs
of the Bull, whose legs were also broken,
while even the victor was badly injured
The one which had been seized by the nose
nre ented a horrible ap|iearance. the flesh
Having been stripped to the bone by the
iron hold of tho saurian’s jaws. The
’gators attack young cows and calves very
often, aud the annual loss to the cattle
owneiw amounts to hundreds of dollars.
But it is seldom a bull is attacked, as they
are so wild ns to become very ferocious and
dangerous.
