TIN MYSTERIOUS MONSTER THAT WORRIED
TEE FRAPPERS
A Lion Hunssrs's S.ory-Ths Wild Nan Would
Kill the Lions After They Were Trapped, But
at Last BE Vas Himself Trapped
and Killed and the Mususm
Lost "a Big Card.
Montreal Herald

In the spring of 1868 was at Quill
name, on the east coast OF Africa, acting
as agent for the great animal house at
Hamburg.
A letter from my employer Instructed
me to make every effort to secure lions,
as the market price was advancing
rapidly and they were becoming scarce.
As seon as received the order / put
together five or six carts, which were
slowed In the warehouse, built q cage
for each and then started up the coun-
try with forty native hunters.
The lion seldom moves about by day
and our object was to keep the pits
clear for him up to shutdown. We had
killed kid just at shutdown and placed
its body on the covering OF the pit. The
men remained near by until they heard
lion roar about half mile away and
it was doubtless that fellow who got
into trouble. The pit was only half a
mile from our camp and half a hour
after the men came In we knew by the
roars OF the lion that he was captive.
We could do nothing at night, but all
turned in happy over the knowledge
that we had made capture. At mid
night l was aroused by my head man
entering the tent aud exclaiming: lis
ten, master! Don't you hear the lion
uttering cries OF rage and pain? That
strange monster is probably trying TO
kill him?" 1t was true that the captive
beast was very noisy, but after listening
awhile | concluded that the presence OF
his mate was exciting the lion. Two OF
the men were ordered to gL forward and
fire their muskets TO create a.scare and
after this was done all was quiet.
A STRANGE DISCOVERY.
When daylight came and we went to
the pit we made discovery which was
far from pleasant. We had captured a
magnificent male lion, but he was dead.
The tracks of the strange monster were
to be seen all around the pit, and lying
on the ground were two OF his weapons.
These were poles about as large as a
mans wrist and eighteen or twenty feet
long. The end had been sharpened
and hardened by fire, and the creature
had stood above the pit and prodded the
lion till he killed him. When we lifted
the body out we found more than a
score of wounds. A gorilla can handle
a club, but was satisfied that no one
but man could make use OF such
pole. Indeed, the fact OF the poles be-
ing hardened by fire was proof sufficient
that man was engaged in the work.
He must be q native, of course, and he
must also be wild man. After holding

musket and q pound OF powder. The
others refusd to 60. We left camp az
two o'clock In the afternoon, heading to
the east. Just beyond where we cap
tured the lion three paths crossed each
other. We took one running 10 the
northeast, which traversed more open
ground than the others. The habits OF
wild animals were familiar to me, but
had never hunted wild man before.

him at 10 o'clock that morning. On
this path we had three pits about .

earth and give me a show. About three
miles from camp, and as the path

whispered:

I could make out platform OF sticks
and branches, and now took the adj
vance. My weapons were rifle and q
revolver. We crept cautiously forward
until right under the platform, and az
ter few seconds both OF US made out

tween the poles. The wild man was at

deal with him. had more fear OF his
getting away than had OF his hurting

believing he would make for thisket

and at signal the Young man fired az
the nest. The report OF his gun was
followed by most unearthly yell, aud
il was yet ringing In my ears when l
saw dark object falling of the plat
form TO the earth. II was the wild man.
The young man stood whore he had
fired, and before he could realize what
was happening the monster was upon
him. He was picked up and flung all
most at my feet, and as he landed he
called To me:
81 am not much hurt, master. Be
sure that you kill him, for he is ter
ribly strong fellowv
The man didn't seek safety in fight.
On the contrary, he picked up a limb,
broke of a part o. IL for a club, end
slowly advanced upon US, his eyes Hash

pressing fury. / had my rifle TO my

to examine him we got frightened. His

council with three or four OF my best
men we started out in parties OF ten to
hunt down the wild man. Each OF my
men had a cheap English musket and
knew how to use it, and the order was
to fire at the man at sight. To brace up
the courage OF the natives / offered
reward OF $40 to whoever should fire the
lucky shot. The four parties took DIFF
fereut directions. The one 1 headed
went to the north, where there was
long stretch OF almost impenetrable
thicket, with various paths trayersing
IL 10 different directions. One OF these
paths had been followed by the lion
which fell nto the pit. Proceeding in
single file and moving as quietly as pos
sibe we advanced about four miles and
then came TO an open forest. Here the
path ended. The underbrush had all
been burned out, and one could see a
long way In every direction. The ma
tives were for keeping on, but l argued
that the wild man must know OF our
camp and would, therefore, be found
nearer IL.
We had turned back and the last man
had Just fallen In line when / heard
shot and CRY OF alarm. The three ma
tiyes next behind me lodged under my
arm and made of down the path, while
the others were so upset that II took me
three or four minutes TO ascertain what
had happened. The wild man had been
concealed behind big tree near the
path. He leaped out and struck the
last man a blow with his club which
killed him On the spot, and he was
swinging his weapon TO hit the second
man when the third fred at him. The
wild man was not twenty feet away, but
be was not hit, and 10 second or two
was out OF sight. Three men had seen
him and all agreed that ne was native.
but the biggest man they had ever seen.
He was perfectly naked and armed only
with a club. We picked the dead man
10 and bore him to the camp. and IS
the other parties came on and heard the
story their courage took fight. They
would help me 70 capture lions, but
thew wanted no more OF man hunting.
IL 1 wanted to pursue the hunt alone
they would stand by the camp; but the
opinion was unanimous that we should
20 thirty or forty miles further up the
country. firmly declined to move. We
were in a good neighborhood. had our
preparations complete, and didn't pro-
pose to be run out by any sort OF man.
/ didn't believe this wild man was such
a terrible fellow. Natives always ex-
ageerate fifty per cent even about the
most ordinary things. He had killed
man but at the same time the report oil

IS well for me-" thought Umslopogaas,
..for now they will not know the dead
from the living. / may yet look upon
the sun again" Now he heard the Ha-
lakazi soldiers talking without.
"The Zulu rats love not this run, "
said one; "they fear the ratcatcher's
stick. This is good sport" and man
laughed.
Then Umslopogaas pushed himself for
ward as swiftly as he might, holding
the dead man on his back, and suddenly
came out of the hole into the open
place in the dark shadow Of the great
peck.
"By the Lilyp cried soldier. ''here's
another! Take that, Zulu rat!" and he
smote the dead man heavily with kerr
rie. "And that!" cried another, driving
his spear through him so that it pricked
Umslopogaas beneath. Sand that! and
thatl' said others, as they smote and
stabbed.
Now Umslopogaas groaned heavily In
the deep shadow and lay still. "No
need to waste more blows" said the man
who had struck first. "This one will
never go back to Zululand, and / am
thinking but few will care to follow
him. Let US make an end; run some OF
you and find stones to stop the burrow,
for now the sport is DONE"
He turned as he spoke and so did the
others, and this was what the Slaugh-
terer sought, With a swift movement
he freed himself from the dead man and
sprang to his feet. They heard the
sound and turned again, but as they
turned Groanmaker pecked softly and
that man who had sworn by the Lily
was no more man. Then Umslopo-
gaas bounded forward-on to the great
rock he bounded-and stood there like
a buck against the sky.
"Not so easily is Zulu rat slain, 0,
ye weasels" he cried, as they came at
him from all sides at once with roar.
He smote to the right and the left. Now
foes were all around, leaping up at the
Saughterer; everywhere shone spears,
thrusting at him from this side and
from that. Those in front and the side
Groanmaker served to =stay, but one
wounded Umslopogaas in the neck and
another was lifted to pierce his back
when the strength of its owner was
bowed to the dust.
For now the Wolf was through the
hole and the Watcher grew very busy
so busy was he that soon the back OF
the Slaughterer had nothing more to
fear. Bravely the pair fought, and
presently one by one the plumed heads
of the People OF the AK showed through
the hole, and arms strong to fight
mingled in the fray. Swift they came;
now there were ten of them, now there
were twenty, and now the Halakazi
broke and fed. Then the rest came
through in peace.

CHAPTER XXIII.

THE WAR WITH THE HALAKAZI PEOPLE.
Now, my father, must tell Of how
Umslopogaas the Slaughterer and Ga
lazi the Wolf Jared in their war against
the People of the Halakazi. When L
had gone from the shadow Of the Ghost
mountain UmSlopOgaas summoned a
gathering OF all his headmen and told
them that the People of the AK should
no longer be little people; that they
should grow great and number their
cattle by tens Of thousands.
The headmen asked would he then
make war on Dingsan, the king? Um-
slopogaas answered, No, he would win
the favor OF the king thus, and he told
them of the Lily maid and of the Hala-
kaZi tribe in Swaziland, and OF how he
would 20 up against that tribe. Now
some OF the headmen said yea to this,
and some said nay, and the talk ran
high and lasted till the evening. But
when the evening was come Umslopo-
gaas rose and said he was chief under
the ak, aud none other, and that this
was his will that they should so up
against the Halakszi. If there
was any man there who would
gainsay his will let him stand
forward and do battle with him, and he
who conquered should order all things.
To this there was no answer, for there
were few who cared to look upon the
beak of Groanmaker, and so ii came
about that twas agreed that the Peo-
pie of the AK should 90 up against the
Halakazi, and Umslopogaas sent out
messengers TO summon every fighting
man to his side.
But when Zinita, his wife, came to
hear OF the matter she was wroth and
upbraided Umslopogaas and heaped
curses on me, Umbova, whom she knew
only as the mouth Of Dingaan. because,

ARGUING POINTS OF LAW.
From the time the case was closed at
1890 O'Clock Thursday morning until q
quarter till 3 o'clock in the afternoon
counsel on both sides argued to the court
on the points of law on which they de-
sired the jury to he instructed At that
hour General Coffroth began his address
to the jury in behalf of the Common
wealth. lie spoke for an hour and iif-
teen minutes in which time he discussed
the credibility of the testimony offered
by the defense and marshalled the facts
produced by the prosecution in a solid
column, from which he said the jury
could not escape, and that if they believ-
ed the evidence their verdict must be
aguilty of murder in the first degree
General Coffroth was followed by F.
]. Kooser, Esq, for the defense. Mr.
Kooser made as powerful an argument
for an acquittal in this case as be did for
a verdict of guilty in the Nicely case,
Mr.. Kooser spoke for an hour and a
half and at the conclusion of his address
at $50 P. N. Court adjourned to meet al
s A. N. Friday morning.
As soon as Court convened Friday
morning ex-Judge Baer began his ad-
dress to the jury in behalf of the defend
ant. He spoke for two hours and hall
and advanced so many theories in regard

ry could not possibly accept any one oI
them without creating room for reason
able doubt in their minds. The Judge:
argument was desperate effortto secure
anything but verdict of murder in the
first degree for his client.
General Koontz closed the argument
in the case for the Commonwealth. His
argument was logical and forceful and he
simply asked for verdict in accordance
with the evidence.
Judge Longenecker concluded hii
charge to the jury at $50 o'clock Friday
afternoon. His Honor spoke for more
than an hour and explained all of the es-
sential features of the case clearly and Il

When the Farmers Alliance in the Wesi
took hand in politics and made things un.
pleasant for the Republican party there were
no more earnest advocates Of the Third Par

for they saw in il some chance OF success al

Nov, however, they have changed thei
tune. The Alliance is organized in the South

Southern press is frsntically bowling at the
farmers not 10 join the Alliance, a. n doing
