GORED BY An ANGRY cow
FIRST MATE OF THE MAUI BADLY
WOUNDED.
He is Left at Mahukona in Charge of a
Physician-A Very Dangerous Bust.
ness

First mate La Blanch of the steamer
Maui was severely gored by an angry
COW on the deck of the vessel last FRI
day at Mahukona and but for the as
sstance rendered by members of the
crew he might have been worried to
death. AS it was he received a painful
wound on his leg, and was left behind
in charge of physician.
The mate was trying to get the ami
NAL ashore when the accident occurred.
In some way she got partially loose
and she made a dash for him, knocking
him down and against the side of the
vessel. Before assistance had arrived
the Infatuated beast pushed one of her
horns almost through the hip of one of
his legs There We're lively times on
deck for a few minutes while the crew
were rescuing the animals victim.
Captain Macdonald at once had the
injured man put ashore and sent for
physician. Several stitches We're neces-
sary to dress the wound, which was a
very painful one and will keep the mate
on the retired list for some time.
The officers and men on the various
island steamers run considerable risks
every trip with the animals they have
on deck many of them being very
vicious, especially the mules, and the
accident to La Blanch is one of o sort
that has been predicted many times.

An Ornitbolooicai Mystery.

RFEDsBURG WIS. May 5.-There was
general excitement at Lime Ridge re-
Gently when a flock OF American passen-
ger pigeons passed north over that pace
the flock being a mile long and so dense
as to nearly obscure the sun. Their APP
pearance has created interest, as these
birds have not been seen for twenty years
and even specimen hunters could not Sc
cure a single bird. They formerly roasted
near Lime Ridge. and came every sum-
mer by millions to nest and breed. The
people made pigeon hunting one Of the
principal sources Of revenue I'm those
days. They Were slaughtered by tho nun
dreds Of pounds. but still seemed 20 IN
crease in number. They suddenly dis
appeared and were supposed 10 be eN-
tinct until their recent appearance.
Several theories were advanced as 10
their disappearance. some thinking they
had all been killed and others saving
they had gathered on the eastern scashore
I'm great numbers and had been driven
out and pershed Others claimed an IN
