AN ANDROsCOGGIN MAN IN BURMAU.

When we arrived at the village of None
the people there were looking for the gov
erner OF the Shwaygyeen District to see
what could be done to- rid them of a fierce
tiger. His haunt was near the path lead
ing from this village to Karen mountain
little to the east. This monster had
killed and eaten nine persons, and now,
no one dared to 60 that way. He was a
great fellow, about seventeen feet from
TIP to tip, very old, and afraid of no BODY
OF men. lie captured whoever came near
him. whether Karen, Shan or Burman. If
there were several in the party. he always
sprang upon the last one. He was so
heavy and sprang from so great distance
that he killed every one the moment he
struck them. The last party that he at
tackled contained seven men. The last
one carried a spear and said that he was
not afraid of the tiger. but before he
reached the top of the hill, the tiger had
captured him, breaking his spear and kill
ing him instantly.
A little while after we left this village a
man came up behind our train riding fu-
rlously. He was an Englishman and wore
dagger and revolver In his belt and
was rather formidable looking man.
He was chief of police in Shwaygyeen..
and glad to see a white face, I cantered
on with him for a mile or two. He had
in his pocket the claws of a tiger who had
recently killed five Karens. This, too,
was an old tiger, but very little hair left
on him and very large. He came to him
on this wise: Two Karens were ascend
ing the mountain together; each carried
a spear, the one pointing backward the
other forward. The tiger leaped from be-
hind, and came upon one of the spears.
He was mortally wounded and very soon
died. There was one very sad story con-
nected with the death of these persons.
A father and his little girl were going
home from their bazaring, when the tiger
sprang upon the child, and carried ner
away. The father crazed with the sight,
pursued the beast, and caught hold of the
child's legs and tried to free her from his
jaws. The tiger let 60 his hold and the
father placed the dead child on his shoul-
ders and started off on the run. The tiger
came up again and seizing the child
dragged it Oft into the Jungle. The village
was aroused by the cries of the man and
came to the place. While they were
standing and looking at the child's blood
the tiger came up behind them sprang up
on man and carried him away. The
monster who has killed nine persons still
lives, notwithstanding the fact that one
hundred and fifty dollars are offered for
his head.-LeWiston Jonrnal.
