The Parties to . Furious Combat Roth Killed

Hearing sounds that indicated serious trouble
in a herd Of wild elephants on the Upper Congo
River, q native hunter named Keema and q
sportsman named Robard fled precipitately to q
sturdy tree near by. What happened after that
Is told in Outing:
They had scarcely reached their perches
when a second division of the herd came rushing
down the path which the men had Just left,
shrieking and trumpeting in anger and fear.
The tree shook as the tornado of brutes swept
by. On the left the shrieking was varied with
cracking and lashing as Of ropes against a mast.
Keema climbed higher in his tree. and through a
break in the forest discovered the cause OF the
trouble. In an open space two bull elephants
were fighting. Ono OF them was a leader of the
herd. the other an old warrior bull tramp who
had lost a tusk.

and he will kill the other beauty-no use to try
to stop him.

soup have combined to regulate the dealing in

ago. Then some down east Yankee devised the
scheme OF constructing large pockets OF netting,
which were placed In the sea beside the pounds,
and the pOrRics were stored alive in these until
wanted for market. In this way porgie gluts at
New York's Fulton Market were avoided for sew
eral years, but lately 80 many men and
vessels have been engaged In tho fishery that
even storage pockets have failed to keep the
market from becoming overloaded. Last year
there were twelve steamers owned by a number
OF firms and operated by more than 200 fisher
men engaged in this fishery. This season. by
the new pooling arrangements, the work will be
done by. seven steamers and lIO men and fewer
than half the traps used last year.
Last years ruinous competition Will be stopped
and the steamers will work under one head. 1t
Is expected that the same number OF fish will be
shipped, and 1t is said the price OF soup will not
be advanced. The season will begin about April
IS and last two months. Those In the pool are
mainly Rhode Island fishermen. They include
some OF the best-known menhaden fishermen on
this coast. They are Daniel 7. Church, W..
Brightman. Isaac Drown, Walter Dinnell, W.

George Rose, James Il. Church, Benjamin Tall

Cottrell, and Joseph Church. All these have
pooled their interests under the direction of
