ELM POINT.

Sorry to take up SO much space in your
County News columns but feel compelled
to take notice of the remarks made by
the Fremont's correspondent of last
weeks issue, in which the Elm Point
writer is arraigned en- the charge Of
bigamy. This verdant newsgatherer of
Fremont's must be either ignorant Of the
meaning Of the term applied, or have
written it while suffering from an attack
of insanity, as it seems hardly probable
he would have made use Of such terms
under ordinary circumstances. It would
also be in place for an explanation on his
part in making use of the word porter"
as the sense in which he intends it to ap-
ply to the Elm Point writer we are alta
loss to Understand. Being temperats and
never, under any condition in the habit6f
INDUCING in strong drink Of sny kind he
certainly is in error, and should the in
terpretation he desires to imply take the
form of personality it Is certainly pro-
per that he should apologize. Further,
when in want Of advise Ishould certainly
endeavor to end more competent and
courteous individual than the Fremont
correspondent. Lastly he is in error in
his presumption that more than one
party is directly or indirectly engaged in
gathering the news items at the Point,
but let him lear in mind, that he is deal
ing with man and not "kid.''

of them was aroused by the cries of the
other There was no light in the house,
but he saw indistinctly big beast rush
past with the deceased in its mouth. The
animal with its prey broke through the
atap wall, and disappeared in the darkness.
The next day a search was organized; the
tracks OF the tiger were followed, but none
of the remains could be recovered.
Chuah Kew Wah was taken from his
kongsi at Passir Hitam a fortnight later,
predecessors in the tigers larder. Informa-
ton was given to the police and, a few
hours later. to the acting district magis-
trate, Mr.. H. L. Hubert. The latter stated
that early that morning he and Mr.. Geo.
Maxwell had been out after the tiger On
receiving the information they returned
with the Chinese. Starting from the kongsi.
which was a two-Story building, the two
magistrates followed the tracks through
low swampy jungle for half an hour when
that had evidently been bitten off by some
animal. whose teeth marks were visable.
The nose and lips were also chewed off.
They followed on, and about half an hour
later found the trunk of the body lying
in a swampy place. There was no suitable
place for a trap, and after comforting with
Mr.. Maxwell, the witness put some strych-
nine into the thighs of the body by means
of his hunting knife. They returned to
the kongsi, bringing the head with them
which one of the Chinese identified that
of his missing brother. The next morning
it was found that the trunk had been re-
moved. 1t was discovered, at last. to-
gether with the dead body of a tigress.
The thighs of the deceased had been COM
pletely devoured. The tigress was full
grown. She measured eight feet one inch
and was, as regards coat, body and teeth
in splendid condition, contrary to the the
ory laid down that only NANCY old and
toothless tigers become man eaters. By
