Kurria, frightened by the man
eater, had not for several weeks
done much hunting. But one
night, when there was no food in
his house, he went forth, driven by
hunger to see if he could get pig.
After some hours of weary
watching, finding that neither pig
nor deer was likely to come near his
matchbox that night he started fol
home.
AS he passed some brushwood, h,
saw a dark object moving in it
Thinking it was a pig, he knelt
down, rested his matchbox, ant
fired at the black shadow.
A savage roar terrified him. TIL,
bubbling growl was unheeded
which if he had been less frighten'
ed, would have told him that th,
beast was mortally wounded.
Fleeing as fast as his legs coul(
carry him, he flung himself into his
hut. There he was scolded by hi:
wife for cowardice. If it were {
pig they would have meat. If it
should prove tiger or panther
then they should receive the re-
ward.
Early in the morning the brav,
woman led a dozen of villagers
armed with spears and axes in ques
of her husbands game.
When they approached the brush
wood, not soul would enter it
At last boy, herding some buffaloes
volunteered to drive his animal
through the copse.
Suddenly the leader gave an angr.
grunt, and followed by the rest o
the herd, dashed through the copse
Here he isw shouted the boy
Here is the panther, dead"
The villagers rushed forward, ant
sure enough, there lay large pan
ther shot through the heart.
brothers, this is the man-eater!
exclaimed an old man, pointin,
with skinny finger and out-stretch
ed eyeballs. "See, there is tn
mark of the axe on his head wher
the Lodhee man struck him. Their
is the toe on the left foot gone
where the Lehonee hunter hit hin
with a knife when he rushed u
the tree after him."
So it proved. The dreaded beas
who had defied the best hunters o
the province had been killed by tn
chance shot of a loafng pig-hunt
er.
The lazy Kurria received the re
ward of one hundred rupees. Hi
wife wore silver bangles, and h
was pointed out as the man VIII
killed the forest foe of Kahani.

STRIKERS IN COURT.
Heidi & Sons Coopers Sub
nit Their Case to
Justice Puster.

-Four weeks ago a dozen coopers, EN-
ployed by Held & Son, n incorporo
tion, which has a shop on Fairmount
avenue. near Grand street, quit work IN
strike. The misunderstanding was about
the price of pine apple barrels. The cor
poration paid at the rate of 5 cents a bar
rel and the men demanded z cents.
The men have been out ever since, and
today brought suit in justice Puster's
court against Heidi & Son for 500, the al
legged difference between the price paid to
the men and the mount due them.
John Nimou, one of Them, was the plain
tiff by agreement with the others who as
signed their claims to him. Johu H eintZ,
David Phillips, Thomas Golden, Louis
Becker, Julius Dupont, Stephen Harris,
James White and Nimon testified that ia
February last an agreement was made
with the corporation through q commit
tee. of the local coopers' union that the
price for work should be seven cents a
barrel. They submitted a printed paper.
which, they testified, was the
agreement. It was not signed. hut
agreement. The corporation paid seven
cents until in May it obtained a contract
for pineapple barrels, and at the end OF
the first weeks work on this contract
paid at the rate OF five cents on pineap pie
barrels. A man who expected to get $l4
received $11.50.
Mr. Heidi today denied the agreement.
He said pineapple barrels vera q special
kind of work for which be could not pay
seven cents.
Counsellor Zabriskie, of Collins & Cor
bins Office, argued for the defendant,
that this suit was an effort of the men to
establish prices. The committee of the
local union that visited Mr.. Heidi last
winter had no right to bind him to pay
anybody else q certain price:
Counsellor Dougherty, in summing up
for the plaintiff. said that an agreement
had been made and that z cents was a
reasonable aud the usual price. Justice
Puster said he had TWO points 60 deter.
mine; whether there was ali agreement
and If z cents was a fair price. He would
announce his decision next "Wednesday.
