Has Experience with Aligator Near Papillion Lyle Horton Called Upon to Assist in Rounding Up a Large Sized Alligator. From Wednesday's Daily Lyle Horton, local mortician, had a rather novel experience wnile ne was driving home from Papillion this morning. Three miles east of the Sarpy county capitol oity, he noticed a truck parked in the road and Mr. Horton stopped to see if he could be of assistance to the driver, A. H. Stickman, of the Central States Oil Co., of Council Bluffs. The surprise of Mr. Horton was great when he found that the truck was not stalled but the owner was busy trying to capture a young alli gator, several feet in length and who was trying to escape. The alligator had been glimpsed by the trucker as he was driving along and an investigation made as to how the creature might have found its way along the Sarpy coun ty highway. Mr. Horton helped round up the alligator and which was grabbed by the trucker by the tail and then a real battle ensued, settled only by hit ting the head of the alligator in the roadway and which seemed to par- tialy stun it and enabled the trucker to grab it by the throat and prevent it snapping. A passing farmer had a sack with him and this was used to place his alHgatorship in and the trucker de parted with his trophy. Later it was learned that an alli gator farm is being operated in that section and the young specimen evi dently had made its escape from the farm. Mr. Horton states that he would not care to mix with the amphibian reptile at close range and kept a safe distance from the alligator as it sought to avoid capture. RECEIVE SAD NEWS The message was received here late Tuesday night by L. W. and E. A. Lorenz, of the critical condi tion of their brother, Charles Lorenz, of DeQuincy, Louisiana.
