HOW TIGERS ARE NEITED.
One Way Is Surrounding Them and
Another Driving Them in.


This tiger netting" is naturally
never used on the grass plains OF
Nepaul, bur only in the state OF My
sore, where ii is absolutely necessary,
though 1t may seem unsportsmanlike,
for the jungle is so impenetrably thick
that II is the only way to bring the
game to bay. The nets, Of which
many are used. are made Of half
inch rope Of cocoa nut fiber, with nine
inch mesh, and each about forty feet
long by twelve feet in width. They
are used IN two different ways; one
is TO surround the tiger with them
at night, and the other is to place
them In line and drive him into II, as
he viii then try to break through,
and so entangle himself that he is
easily speared by the natives.
The only castles who take part In
this sport are the "oopligas," who use
spears with handles about eight feet
in length, and blades three inches
wide and twelve long. 1t Is a very
curious thing that tigers never at
tempt 10 jump over these nets, which
they very easily could do. Panthers
have often been known to jump over.
When the tiger has been safely netted
iii he is kept there for two or three
days, and often shot through The
meshes without 4 chance being given
him To try and regain his freedom.
The nets are held up by forked sticks
fnclining toward the interior, and the
end near The ground ii well pegEed

nARRIED.

We take the following from the
Geneseo, ILL.,, Republic, Of Sept. 21st:
Among the pleasant events of the
season was the wedding of Mr.. Robt.
L. Andrews and Miss Dora S. Engle-
bert Thursday, evening, Sept. 18th:
1894, at Harding Place, the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. N. w. Thornton. The
bride is one of GeneSeo's bright and
beautiful daughters, graduate of the
Geneseo Collegiate Institute of the
class of '93. The groom is prosper
Gus young farmer living miles west
of Geneseo. Only relatives and as
sociates of the contracting parties
were present.
The bride is the youngest daughter
of Mr.. Alvin Englebrecht, of this
city, and will be remembered by her
young friends and schoolmates who
will be pleased to hear of this happy
event. She graduated from the Gene
SEQ Collegiate Institute last year with
honor, and has since been teaching in
that vicinity.

PRESLEY BROUGHT BACK.

Chief Yates returned at eight o'clock
Thursday from Phillips, Wis, with
Willie Presley, who was lodged in jail
over night. At three o'clock this
afternoon he was taken before Judge
Shissler and waived the reading of the
warrant, and pleaded not guilty. The
examination was postponed until 1:3O
the request of the defendants
attorney, e. P. Freeman. No
offer of bail was made, and the de-
PENDANT was remanded back to Jail.
Willie Presley would say nothing
in regard to the case today, his attor-
ney cautioning him to say nothing.
He gave no more information to Mr.
Yates, but did not at any time deny
the charge. His wife returned with
him. No money was found on his
person. The boy who ran away with this
couple returned to the city yesterday.
1t seems probable that there will be
no prosecution, if certain negotiations
that are said to be going on come to a
successful conclusion. County At
torney Benedict and the police officials
are DESTROYS of proceeding with the
case. j. A. Presley has changed his
mind since the warrant was issued
and now does not desire to prosecute
his son. The cost of the case to the
county thus far cannot be less than
5000.
Phillips, where Presley was arrested,
is the home of his wife's
family. The place was completely
burned up by forest fires in July, with
a loss of thirteen lives, and the town
now consists of shantieS and tents.
