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,
