We had just entered Il range of sand
hills, which characterize the Dismal
River country, when we were attract
ed by the strange antics of bunch of
elk. They We're COWS, calves and spike
bulls. When we first saw them they
were huddled together in a round
bunch and seemed milling" about like
cattle at roundup. AS we stood
looking at them they broke into Il
run, going 100 yards or so, and then
stopped and knotted up again.
AT first we could not make out what
the matter was, but on going closer
to them saw they were being har-
rassed by couple of buffalo wolves.
The elk would bunch up, with the
cows and young bulls on the outside,
heads out, calves in the centre, the
wolves circling round the outside and
trying to break up and scatter the
herd so they could single out n calf.
The wolves charged again and again,
but for a long time the elk stood firm,
we lying on an adjacent hill and
watching the sport. AT last the wolves
withdrew and seemed to give it up
At this the elk broke into a run again.
AS soon as their organization was
broken the wolves returned to the
charge, and this time succeeded in
cutting out two-year-old heifer. As
soon as the heifer was separated from
the bunch her fate was sealed, as the
wolves kept between her and the rest
until they were well out of the way,
and then closed with her. One of the
wolves seized her by the ham, and in
an instant she was down, with ham
string severed. The other wolf then
sprang at the throat, and the jugular
vein was cut as quickly as it could
be done with knife.-Forest and

TALON exists at present only on paper;
but when the approval of the Queen
has been received for the propositions
made with regard to uniform and
badges, it will at once come into exist
ence in considerable strength. The
regiment will form at St. Johns Wood
Barracks as soon as the necessary or
ders are issued. 1t is decided, and on.
ly her Majestys approval is required
to give effect to the proposals of the
va Office, that the uniform Of the
new regiment shall be the Same as
that of the existing guards, with some
distinctive variations. The buttons on
the tunic will be arranged in fours
and there will be four buttons OH the
sleeves and the skirts of the tunic The
design on the buttons will be that of
harp and crown. The collar badge
is to be a shamrock, but it is not yet
settled whether there shall be on the
shoulder-strap a shamrock or the star
of st. Patrick. The forage-cap will be
either a green band or a green piping,
with the star of st. Patrick in front,
and the plume in the bearskin will be
of st. Patrick blue. There have been
many applications from suitable re-
cruits to join the new regiment. but
till these details of uniform have been
approved by the Queen it has not been
found possible to enlist them.-London

trous threats"
A singular phase of the matter is
brought forth by Deputy Sheriff Trul-
linger who states that every action Of
Hilstrom's WHEAT the time Of the shoot
ing supported the suspicion that she
had been acting in active sympathy
with her husband. The officer recalled
graphically the peculiar manner in
which she opened the door as Moore
approached, and particularly the man.
ner in which she stepped aside from
the opening Immediately before the
fatal shot was fired. A further strange
act was noticed in her remark after
the shooting in response to something
said by Constable Wickman, to the ef-
feet that she was satisfied that ''they
had come to kill her husband and the
entire family" ff y
Hilstrom has six children, one Of
whom is babe in arms.
Lake Moore was an Industrious log
ger. we'll known in this city. He was
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-01-20

In summing up the situation Trullin-
ger stated 1t as his honest opinion that
Hilstrom could never be captured alive
as long as he should remain alert and
show fight, ''for," said he, ''the house
in which Hilstrom is stopping is
veritable fort TO all practical purposes.
The house sits on the center of a
clearing without tree or bush within
200 feet in either direction. Hilstrom
could easily slaughter a dozen men
before they could get anywhere near
the house. Besides. we know him to
be well armed"
That Hilstrom is insane there can be
no question. Evidences Of his mental
decllne have manifested themselves on
many particular occasions within the
past few weeks. In some inexphcable
manner he has received the impression
that someone has invaded the sanctity
Of his home and he is wont to point the
finger Of suspicion at persons standing
high in the county. or course no ser
ious thought is given to these charges,
but II is these very thoughts of domi-
ellie injury in his maddned brain that
LED to the death Of Lake Moore as
we'll as to the earlier attempts to take
the life Of Abercrombie. At various in
tervals Hilstrom has been under the
delusion that he was holding either
high federal position or that Of score
tary of state for Oregon, hence the re-
mark made in his reply to Constable
Wickman. OF late he had grown so
bad that every visitor to his hitherto
hospitable home has been viewed in the
light of an enemy, and it has been
quite common for him to supplement
his crazy suspicious with threaten
ing display Of his shotgun or some
other deadly weapon. Three times he
enlivened the presence of Abercrombie
at his home with the brandishing of
firearms, aud It is a matter of some
surprise to the authorities that Aber-
crombie delayed reporting the matter
as long as he did. However, Hilstrom's
condition has been generally known in
that neigborhood for some time.
1t was only day or two ago that
Hilslrom was in this city. At that time
he had just recently emerged from the
hospital, where he had been confined
with broken leg. At this time he
was accompanied by his eldest son,
boy of 10 years or thereabouts. Just
prior TO his departure on the boat he
stopped in at Jeff's sample rooms. In
this connection Robert Jeffery made
the statement late last night that he
noticed Hilstrom acting very queerly.
Said Mr.. Jeffery: He was continual
ly attempting TO show his strength in
various ways, and toward the end be-
came quite quarrelsome. finally in
duced him 20 leave the premises as his
boy was begging him to hasten to
catch the boat and was crying. When
Hilstrom reached the street he met
someone whom he evidently knew and
became involved In a dispute over
the nature of which
could not learn. Presently he cast
aside his crutches-for he was still un-
