THE BRECKENRIDGE NEWS — NOVEMBER 14, 1917
Employee of Pittsburgh Bureau of Highways and Sewers,
Pulls Out 3-Foot Saurian.
Pittsburgh.—The North side has been famed for many things. Now it is the habitat of the alligator.
If you don’t believe it, ask George Moul, a perfectly reliable employee of the Bureau of Highways and Sewers. He has the proof on exhibition at his home in Lockhart street. He got it yesterday when he was sent to fix a sewer in Royal street.
He had lifted the manhole and was prodding to remove the obstruction, when a strange face, with rather evil-looking eyes, bobbed In his range of vision.
After the first shock Moul grubbed the head and drew forth a 3-foot alligator. He got a rope and led it to his home and is trying to dope out how the Florida native got this far North.
