St. Angus ine corrmpoodent Jacksonville Sews-Herald: It has long been a matter of surprise to people familiar with the character and topography of the east coast THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1887. 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. Biliousness.
