Marvelous tale of Tunis alledged sensational yarn dismissed
A Victoria News column debunks a sensational New York led tale about Savannah Walston of Tunis Texas fighting two alligators in her mother's cottage. The piece calls the story false, noting no such person, bayou, or alligators exist locally and mocks the sensational claim. It also cites Dr Stiles on buzzards as disease risks and protective laws.
