Kinston, June 24—The lady alligator that strayed up Neuse River from one of the creeks far down the streams and established a home started something. Now there are alligators everywhere in the river around Kinston.
Until this spring one had not been seen this far up the Neuse River since antebellum days. Numbers of them have been glimpsed in the river recently and several have been caught. Most of the gators are young. One 2-feet long was perfectly at home in a chicken coop at a store in the edge of the business district today. One a little larger was killed by an automobile in Harpersville. Small boys have stopped swimming in the Neuse.
