HUNTER ourw,Ts ELEPHANT.
Saves His Life by His Know edge of the
Beasts Habits.

From Chums.
Only those familiar with the IMAM
ners and customs of the elephant
have any idea what, nimble creature
it really is. Massive and slow-footed
as it looks, it is capable, when reused,
of feats that would be difficult for
much fleeter animals. Especially is this
the case with African elephants, which,
though taller are generally lighter
than their Asiatic brethren. Moreover,
accustomed for ages to lead a wild life,
and often depending on their alert
ness and speed of foot for their very
existence, they have acquired skill
in gymnastics which has occasionally
taken even old elephant hunters by
surprise.
In illustration of this fact we are re-
minded of a story told by one of the
noble army of British sportsmen in
| Africa He was ''out after elephants"
and had just fired at and wounded
magnificent specimen. Unfortunately
for Him he had only succeeded in
slightly wounding it, when, Infatuated
by the attack, it turned and charged
him. 1t was terrifying sight. With
| it's enormous ears spread out like sails
and emitting shrill notes of rage, 1t
came laundering over the ground like
| a runaway locomotive. The hunter fired
| another shot, but missed; his nerve
was shaken, and. throwing down his
express" rifle, he sought safety in
flight. Near at hand was a steep hill,
and to this he directed his steps, for,
being but slightly acquainted with the
climbing powers of the elephant, he
thought his pursuer might, be baff1ed
by the steepness of the ascent.
1t was a terrible disappointment to
find that the elephant could climb hill
just as quickly as the hunter, nimble
runner as he was. The fugitive, in
deed, would have soon been overtaken
if he had not thought of really in
genious ruse. He knew that elephants
never run, or even walk, down a steep
incline, but always crouch down,
gather their feet together, lean well
back, and slide down. Just as the fe-
rocious animal had got within a few
yards Of him, therefore, the willy hun
ter suddenly doubled and ran down
the hill again. Quick as flash the ele-
plant turned. gathered himself to-
gether, and, trumpeting with batfled
rage slid down after his victim. The
| hunter had just time to spring out of
| the way as the great beast came Ito
| bogganing" after him, smashing trees
| and shrubs and carrying everything
| before it like an avalanche. Then once
more the hunter dashed to the top of
the hill, While the elephant unable to
stop ITSELF went careering down to
| the very foot, where, apparently feel
| ing very sore and disappointed, it rose
and walked YEARLY back to it's native
woods.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
An Uncle of Shields Has Been
Found in Ireland.
AN ACTION FOR DIVORCE
Alice Olsen Alleges That Her Husband
Kicked Her and Called Her Vile
Names = Accused Her OF
Unchastity.

Patrick Coughlin of Cloughatangny,
Bally Cumber, Kings county, ireland,
has sent to the district court his claim
TO the estate of Edward Shields, who
was found dead in his room at Null
Inns boarding house in Centerville on
the 25th of last May. Coughlin says he
is an uncle of Shields and his only sur
viving relative, and that he had reared
him from boyhood and had paid his pas
sage to America. Shields was So years
old at the time of his death and had
been 10 years in this city. He left
$737.50 in cash, which will probably ba
sent to the uncle in Ireland, less the
cost of administering upon the estate,
which is now in the hands of the public
administrator.
Alice Olsen yesterday commenced an
action for divorce against Samuel Olsen
on the ground of cruelty. In her COM
plant she relates they We're married in
Butte Jan. IA, 1895. She complains that
last Sunday her husband kicked her and
called her vile and indecent names and
falsely accused her of infidelity. Dur
ing the past six months, she said he
frequently called her bad names and as
saulted her, and in the presence of their
children and others he accused her of
unchastity. Mrs. Olsen says she is
afraid to live with the defendant. She
also represents that the latter has prop
erty in st. Paul and Portland and 81 900
in cash in a Butte bank, and the court
is asked to enjoin him from disposing
of or Numbering the property during
the tendency of the suit.

ton suit of Eugene Carroll against Pat

sooner was plate empty than it was
replenished by the ubiquitous walters.
Then 1t was re-replenished and so on, not

had come to the conclusion that the
Worcester boys We're the greatest hust-
lers in the country, judging from the
way the circulation had increased. He
said their rating was A No. 1. Soon af-
ter the assembly broke up. Each boy

vince the yellow kids of the errors of

At last, after a rigid process of natural
selection, 1t was evident that only the
creme of the creme Of the paper ven

Then President Browning of the
Newsdealers' association made an adj
dress of welcome and urged the boys to
stick to their colors and keep up the
fight for the high and lofty principles
they were fighting for. He strongly
urged the newsboys to form a trade un-

BIRTH RECORD.
Parents Are Negligent In Furnishing Ne
cessaY Statistics.

The city clerk and his assistants are
experiencing considerable inconven-
fence in comparing the returns OF
births for the year 1898, as made by
physicians. and those obtained by q
canvass of the city by persons en-
ployed by the city clerk The returns
are being compared at the present time
for the purpose of recording and trans
hitting copies to the secretary of
the commonwealth
In many cases the facts as reported
by the physicians and canvassers do
not agree or are not complete, and in
order to make correct record the clerk
is obliged to send request to the par
ents, for the necessary information.
The request is in the form of print
ed circular, and Is accompanied by a
postal card, doing away with any in
convenience to the parents who have
merely to fill out the card and remaIl
it to the clerks office. The common
impression would be that parents
would be only too anxious to have the
birth of their offspring recorded cor
rectly, but from the few that have
been returned Of the many sent out, it
would appear that many parents are
Indifferent or are putting off sending
in the information until too late to
house.
There are doubtless still other cases
where the canvasser failed to obtain
the desired information, and in conse-
quence there is possibility that there
is no record of birth, In case of this
nature no birth will be recorded and
some time in future. when the city
clerks office is visited for a record,
none will be found, a possibility which
may not suit a fond parent.
The law requires that every parent
shall give notice to the city clerk of
the birth of their children, and who
ever neglects to give such notice shall
forfeit sum not exceeding five dollars.
It has been suggested that it might be
productive of good to make an exam
pie of some one in order that q full and
complete record may be made of all
the children born, within the city
limits

IL was turbulent gathering that as
sembled at the appointed hall in South
bridge street last evening. A populist
convention would have appeared Quiet
IN comparison. Over 200 whooping,
howling youngsters with lungs well
| trained in the pursuit of their vocation
tumbled into a little room not more
| than 40 feet long and proceeded to
| make their presence felt. That they
succeeded was evidenced by a com
mittee from the Plumbers Union, who
were attempting to hold a meeting in
the next room. The committee tried
force and diplomacy, but both means
were equally Intellectual.
Finally there arrived a man able tc
cope with the situation. Ed Kelly

boys who preferred sheckels to adher-
ence to the noble but less lucrative
principles for which both dealers and
newsboys are fighting.
"Scab scab! Out with the scab!"
yelled the boys. And out he went. Mr..
Kelly turned him over to portly

"bouncer." And after the first boy
went 30 or 40 others who either had
sold the tabooed dailies or could lay no
claim to be members of the newspaper
profession. Spoilers" and "bouncers"
had busy 10 minutes. Most of the
boys came armed with paper certifi-

stating them to be O. X. Those without
the proper credentials were subjected
to a careful scrutiny.
