Battle with an alligator near Lake Charlie Apopka
A Lambert family on Tsala Lake near Lake Charlie Apopka faced a dramatic alligator attack as a two year old girl was grabbed from the bank. Mrs. Lambert seized an ax, bludgeoned the reptile, and freed the child, then escaped with the baby to safety. The mother later fainted from shock but recovered slowly. A New Jersey drummer narrowly escaped a similar fate on the Midland Bridge with a daring lunging swing to safety as a train passed overhead.

Dog Fights Fire Dogs Heroic in Bluffton
A Bluffton Georgia man reports his dog, a sharp shep herd, saved him from a forest blaze by fetching a burning chunk of pine and guiding him through hot undergrowth. The dog broke a pine limb and fought the fire as the master arrived, barking to signal danger. The tale sits among reports of yellow fever in Bartow Florida denied by local physicians and a sensational German town kerosene incident. Also noted is a Manchester New Hampshire liquor raid where 28 bars were shut and owners summoned to court.
