Bob Michael, one Of the lest hunters

walked against string one night and
was MORALLY wounded with buckshot.
An old French Canadian trapper above
the Saranac lake region was setting q

caught between the jaws, and there his
body remained for weeks, being found
at last when the mice and ants had
gnawed his bones.
In Africa curious trap is used for
elephants. 1t consists merely of long
blade of steel in four foot log Of wood
suspended from tree by triggers.
When the elephant stirs the string, the
continuance drops, burying the steelbe-

Tigers are captured in India by bow
and arrow trap. A chunk Of bait ia
hung on a stick, below which the arrow
is aimed. When the tiger pulls the bait,
the bowstring is loosened, and the arrow
is supposed to find its way into the ami

half concealed by bushes and grass, are
hung across the runways that theresis
danger of men walking into them and

Men set snares for big game, using
wire rope to encircle the beasts necks

is curious fact that such men some
times get leg in their own trap and

His Wife Is Said to Know That He
Is Still in This Country.

Time of the Missing Man

Nothing has as yet been learned as &c
the Whereabouts of Milo Qua ckenbush, for
merry first sergeant OF Battery 4, Ligh
Artillery, National Guard, and member
of the flour and feed establishment OF
| Quackenbush Il Lanman, at 40. 1928 ant
| 32o Seventh street southeast.
Quackenbush disappeared on Monday, as
| stated exclusively in The Morning Times
today, a nd by some is believed to have en-
| tered the service of the Cubans, although
| his wife is said to know that he is still
| in this country.
There are two accounts of his business
connections with the feed establishment.
| Frank E. Lanman, who is employed in the
boOkbinery of the printing office, claims
| he is partner in the feed business and
that Qua ckenbusb has executed a bill OF
sale of what he terms the firms proper
ty.
On the other hand, Mrs. QGackenbush,
who was seen this morning by Times
representative, denies that Mr.. Lanman
was partner in the business. Mrs.
QuackeDbush asserts that Mr.. Lanman
told her that he and Quackenbush had dis
solved partnership in December, and that
were no longer partners.
An agreement of partnership was made
in October, but, according to Mrs. Quacken-
bush, is not now in force. 1t is understood
that at the time of his disappearance
Quackenbush had in his possession a
promissory notesigned b y Lanman for 81 %.

thing TO give to the public about the af-
fair in a day or two. Mr.. Quackenbush,
father of the missing man, is expected to
come to Washington today from his home
beyond Brocklaud, and it is believed,
will settle any accounts the young man may
have standing.
Lanman claims that Quackenbush's as
sertion that the business did not pay, is
false, and Mrs. Quackenbush asserts that she
is positive it did not pay, and had often
heard her husband say 30. The Sunday be-
fore he disappeared Quackenbush remarked
TO his wife that he had the offer OF posi-
ton in the Cuban army at ST 900 per year.
1t is believed. therefore. that his disappear
ence the next day is evidence that he has
gone to assist the insurgents in Cuba.

FREE SILVER AND PROTECTION.
Both Senator's From Utah Committed
to That Policy


to That Policy.
omaha, Neb., Jan. 2o.-Frank J. Can
non and Arthur Brown, the first United
states Senators from the new State of
Utah, passed through this city late yester-
day, en- route to Washington. The train
stopped bu; five minutes here, but this was
sufficient time for Mr.. Cannon to speak
enthusiastically, but briefly, on the sub
jects OF national Importance anu rarticu-
larry those of interest 10 Utah. Mr.. Can
non said.
I'VE are heartily in favor of free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
OF IS to 1. The reason for our belief in
silver is that 1t is for the best good, not
only OF Utah and the entire Wesr, but
for the people of this country. The I'M
limited coinage of the white metal would
open the mines of the West, give money
TO the people and do more direct benefit
than any other thing, except protection"
"ThcD you are a protectionists?''
Yes, sir, and a high one. Mr. Brown
and myself are firm believers in q high
protective tariff, for We believe that only
by tariff is this country greatly bene-
fitted. We are in favor OF as high a tariff
on wool as there can he made, for by
SO doing we will save from utter ruin an
industry that is "a ridly- dying out, that
OF sheep raising.
The high tariff on wool would not only
aid the sheep growers OF Utah. but of ev-
cry state in the Union. We will vote the
way the people of Utah work, and that
is for free silver for him who delves into
the mounianside with his pick, and for
high tariff wool for him who herds the
sheep ON the lonely prairie.''

ABYSSINIAN MAGNANIMITY,
Allowed an italian Garrison to Evac
uafe Fortress


Rome, Jan. 25.-Gen. Raratieri, governor
of Erythrea, and cOnnlander--in-chief of the
Italian forces in Abyssinia, has Informed the
government that on Thursday the Italian
garrison at Makalle, commanded by Col
Galliano. evacuated that place, taking with
him all the arms, ammunition, equipments,
and other contents of the fortress.
1t is reported, Gen. Baratieri says, that
the evacuation OF the fortress by the be-
lcaguered garrison was accomplished by
permission of Ras Makonnen, the commander
of the Abyssinian forces, which were be-
sieging Makalle, who desired not only TO
pay tribute to the heroisn of Col. Galliano
and his command, but also to obtain peace.
Itisrurthcrreported that King Menelek has
ordered that the Italian prisoners in the
hands of the Abyssinians be delivered up TO
the Italians at Ambalagi. 1t is believed,
however, that 1t will be difficult to conclude
peace. as Italy will not consent to abandon
