Lion Hunting in the Land of Ophir

began to fire old muskets, beat drums and
make all the other noises possible to drive
the lions toward the hunters.
Before many minutes a tremendous roar
sounded right in front of Peters and a
grand lion, heavily named, sprang toward
the tree. The hunter fired and scored a
clean miss. Instantly the brute leaped
again, but this time directly at the doctor.
He stepped sideways and in the next mo-
ment the lion had beaten down four negroes
who had been hiding behind the tree and
knocked them insensible with sweeps Of
his great paws.
DR.. Peters was just about to fire when
the lion leaped on a fifth man, driving his
hind claws into his body and tearing saw
agely at his neck and shoulders with fore
paws and teeth.
Fearing to shoot the man, Peters aimed
a little too high and shot into the lions
ribs instead OF his backbone. But the
bullet had the desired effect Of diverting the
beasts attention from his victim and he
turned, arose majestically to his full noble
height and glared at Peters, who stood
barely ten feet away.
The doctor reached out for more cartridges
and failing to get them peered backward.
To his horror he saw his cartridge bearer
running at top speed toward the village.
Convinced that he was at the end Of his
earthly hunting he dubbed his rife
to make one last hopeless fight for his life.
The lion crouched, gathered himself for
a spring, and-fell in a heap. The expand
ing bullets effect on the blood vessels had
made itself felt just in the nick of time,
and not a tenth of a second too soon.
With his last strength the beautiful
creature, still facing the hunter fearIessly,
dragged himself toward some high grass.
On the way a big negro tried to spear him.
Dying though he was, the lion with a mo-
ton as if he were tanning a fly away, struck
his assailant one light pat Gt hardly could
be called a blow. That pat ripped off
all the flesh of the mans left leg from the
upper thigh to the knee.
With one last roar of defiance the tawny
fighter won the grass. Later they found
Omaha daily bee., 1902-10-19

to have learned that there is a connection
between canoes and explosive bullets. Ger
tainly they have come to treat boats as
enemies every time and it is dangerous now
to cross the river in any light craft.
Besides the royal game, there are hordes
of ignoble but almost as dangerous animals.
Balloons seem to share the pervading spirit
OF daring and regiments of them wander
around with complete confidence, descending
into the cultivated lands whenever they
feel like it. Even the hyenas and jackals
are not as timid there as they are in most
other localities. A hyena entered the doc
tors tent one night and did not retire until
he had struck a light and called his men.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-10-19

only were plentiful, but fearless, providing
the very climax of sport and excitement.
DR.. Peters says that whatever may be
the case in some parts of Africa, the state
ment made occasionally by lion hunters to
the effect that the sport is not very dan
gerous is not true in this region. Lions
and leOpards there attack the domestic
animals OF man and man himself by pref
erence. They pass tempting antelopes and
other game deliberately and enter the viii
lagos to break into kraals, where they beat
down steers and sheep and carry them off.
So daring are they that, contrary to the
general habits of the great cats, they hunt
in broad daylight as well as by night. In
the summer of 1899 two officials of the
Mashona Land railroad were actually
dragged out of their rooms in huts by lions
and carried off within full view of the
laborers along the railroad. On each oc-
casion the lions made their attack in the
middle of the day.
Another lion leaped into a tent on the
Sabi river and carried away a British
prospector while he was at luncheon.
ON day, when DR.. Peters, DR.. Blocker,
an Englishman named Thompson and sew
eral others were at breakfast in the valley
of the Lupata, negroes arrived breathlessly
VIZ news tudl tuIte llOuS ndu broken
into a kraal in the neighboring village OF
Merula and had killed and dragged off
a man and a number of hogs. The lions,
said the messenger, were then sitting in
a thick bush near the village, eating their
prey.
Blocker and Peters seized their rifles,
and accompanied by two unarmed men,
who carried the cartridges, they soon
reached the village, where there was in
tense excitement, all the negroes scream
ing and shouting in an effort to drive
the uncanny visitors away. TIL bush was
only thirty feet from the settlement, and
extended to the river, which was about
$50 feet distant. Peters took his position
near a big tree about thirty feet from the
bush. Blocker stood on the other side Of
the beasts hiding place, The negroes
gathered on the other end OF the bush and

him far away, dead near the foot OF the
mountains, toward which he had crawled
despite his terrible injuries.
The other two lions were not found.
The wounded men were taken to camp
and saved only by the expenditure of all
the remedies carried by the expedition.
A month later some of the blacks OF the
party appeared in camp and reported that
a leopard had been seen by them lying in
wait for them at a water hole. Peters and
Blocker started at once. Blocker had his
rife. Peters shouted to his servant to fol-
low with him. The water hole was only
a few yards away. Before Dr.. Peters
dreamed he was anywhere near the animal
his companions rife rang, and an immense
leopard bounded into the air and fell back
into the thicket. He had been lying di-
rectly in front of Peters, and yet, despite
his gaudy hide, the markings were so per-
fectly blended with the jungle that the
doctor had not seen him at all.
This leopard did not need another shot.
The soft bullet in mushrooming tore the
brute's vitals to pieces.
As IL they were matching their wits
against man, the crocodiles and hippo
potami are becoming more daring and dan
gerous every year in that country. Two
black men belonging to the Peters expedi
tion were killed by crocodiles at one time.
The creatures lay in wait under the bank
of the river, and when the men stopped
to wash, the immensely powerful tails OF
the amphibians were swung at them and
whipped them into the water, where the
crocodile seized them and carried them
away to an island in the middle of the
river. Mr.. Thompson saw the whole trag-
edy. He could see the bodies Of the men
clearly as they were being dragged along
just under the surface.
Another ~favOrite trick of the mankilling
croccdiles along the zambesi is to lie per-
fectly still under grasses near the shore
and seize passersby by the leg. Sometimes
they are so fearless that they do not even
hide, but lie on the shore with eyes shut
mimicking sleep.
The hippopotami, says DR.. Peters. seem

He Lost

A Boston paper tells this story:
He was a little late for the dinner, and
we all had to listen to his abject apologies
to the hostess, who, however, informed him
that he was "better late" and so on. And
all the way from New York, too! But
where is your brother?"
Il am commissioned to tender his re-
grets. You see, we are so busy that it
was impossible for both of us to get away
and so We tossed up to see which of us
should come"
General attention and what an original
idea! And you won?" from the lady of the
house.
"No'-the young man had caught sight
OF a girl he knew and divided attention
made him absent minded-"I lost"

Zine courts where JamSnlQ BlOrl-
~ fled and drank deep.
49, This might well be said now of
ln4. land in Africa where once the great
mines Of Ophir, King Solomon's treasure
houses, were worked by a busy multitude,
with splendid princes and warriors from
the north to spur the toilers on and drive
them to extract even more riches from the
mountains.
In that mystic land between the Zambesi
and the Saba country the jungle has come
to its own again, covering mighty ancient
fortresses and walls with growth that looks
as if it never had been disturbed by man
since the world began.
And in that jungle the wild beasts rule.
There the lions and ~leopaTds truly are
man caters, not waiting to be attacked, but
carrying the war into the camps and into
the very tents of the invaders. Even the
hippopotami, as if the whole world Of
YO2asts were leagued never to permit a sec.
SJnd conquest of the land, have learned to
take the initiative and attack canoes and
light beats that have not even disturbed
them.
When DR.. Peters entered the country
with his expedition he was amazed at the
profusion of life. The land and the waters
and the air were full of it. Since his re-
turn from his last trip he has declared that
game hunting in many portions of the ter
ritory is the best in the world. The Fam
best river there is literally full Of hippopo-
tamil and crocodiles. He saw herds after
herds of elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros.
Everywhere he marked the tracks of zebra
and quagga. He describes the wealth of
birds as colossal" Guinea hens, Plies
ants, cranes, herons, storks. hamingoes.
p~elicans, ducks and geese were seen by him
not in thousands, but in hundreds of thou
sands on the banks and islands Of the
mighty African river.

numbers And east Of the Manica land the

The Battle of Harlem

New York Sun: Warrington had Just
trekked to Harlem and established his
headquarters.
"Confound it," he growled, those Brit
ish people below are going to make me
move again. You'd think it was the bat
tie Of Harlem flats"
Hereupon he YEARLY took new head
quarters further north and decided to
change the name to the battle OF Harlem
Heights.

tagion, as in the case of Boston, where
western and native cattle are herded
together.
Outside knowledge of this epidemic
of foot and mouth disease in cattle
dates from Nov 10 when a partial
quarantine against Cumberland, r. L.,
was ordered by the state board of
health and inspectors all over the state
were authorized to quarantine all cat
tie showing symptoms of the disease,
and it was then that the secretary be-
gan his inquiries on the subject, and
this it is said was really what brought
forth the information to the u. S. de-
partment OF agriculture as to the Mas
sachusetts herds.
The department has been informed
that the Rhode Island board of agri-
culture will meet today at Providence
to take action on the matter.
An appropriation of $4,000 will be
asked from the legislature, which meets
the first of December and quarantine
against Massachusetts cattle similar to
the quarantine OF that state against
Rhode Island is proposed.
The disease has affected several
herds of cattle in the northern part
of the state numbering into the hun
dreds, and hogs, too, have caught the
ailment
Measures have already been taken
to suppress traffic in cattle supposed to
be diseased.

A Birdie ON MoSBY.
Old Confederate Raider Displease'
WASHINGTON by His Criticisms.


Washington, Dec. 1.-Officers of the
interior department are not pleased
with the free utterances of Colonel
John S. Mosby, the special agent OF the
general land office, regarding the
Wholesale land frauds which are now
being investigated by the federal grand
jury in Omaha and in which some of
the wealthiest cattlemen in western
Nebraska are involved.
: In the newspaper dispatches from
Chicago containing the interview with
Colonel Mosby he was1nade to criticise
severely the attitude taken by Sena-
tors Willard and Dietrich, of Nebraska,
with regard to the alleged frauds. The
department has no information as to
the attitude OF the Nebraska senators,
but does not believe that they would
endeavor to place any obstacles IN the
way of a rigid investigation or in any
other way countenance the efforts OF
the land barons" to secure large tracts
Of government lands by means OF lie
gal entries and transfers from war
widows
In any event the department consid-
ers that Colonel Mosby talked too free-
Nv and that his utterances, considering
the position he occupies as an official OF
the government, were not in god taste.
IT is probable he will receive an lntlma-
ton to this effect and will be asked Tor
an explanation of his criticisms OF the
Nebraska senator's.

How to Prevent croup.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lains Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by all druggists.

Heavy Receipts and Indifferent
Cables Had a Depressing
Effect ON Market
DECEMBER DELIVERIES LIGHT
Extremely Favorable Weather for the
Movement in the Northwest Caused
a Decline in Corn Prices at the Open
ing-Cattle Receipts Were Enormous
and Prices Lower-Hoes Steady.

Chicago, Dec. There was little do
ing in wheat today and prices opened
about steady, with May Il lower to u
higher at 1875 to 1875. Cables altho
lower, did not respond to the weakness
here Saturday, but heavy receipts in
the northwest added to the depression
and caused some selling early in the
day, which carried May down to 751a.
Deliveries on December contracts were
light as had been anticipated and it
will probably he a few days yet before
any material amount is delivered. Re-
eeipts We're 140 cars, twenty two of
contract grade.
Prospects for a large increase in the
visible supply caused heavy liquida-
ton about noon, and May declined to
TAX, but rallied later, closing soy
lower at 75@75M.
Extremely favorable weather for the
movement of corn, together with easier
cables, caused weakness at the open
ing with May shade lower to a shade
higher at 421a to 421s. Trade was very
light on commission house selling and
there was decline to 423s@421s. Re-
ceipts We're 202 ears. with seventeen
of contract.
Weakness In wheat affected corn.
May sold off to Am @42Ss, but rallied
toward the close, which was u up at
422a @427s.
Good weather caused considerable
selling of May oats early In the day.
resulting in u decline to 31B, after
opening unchanged to X lower at 80 to
S2B. A fair demand developed, how
ever and the downward trend was
checked. There were no special feat
ures to the trading. Receipts We're 236
cars.
Provisions opened about where they
left off Saturday, but a firm undertone
prevailed altho the receipts of hogs
We're liberal and prices at the yards
only steady. A good demand from the
shorts helped maintain prices

THE LIVESTOCK REVIEW.
Today's Enormous Arrivals of Cattle
Caused Decrease in Price.

Chicago, Dec. -Cattie-Today's ar
rivals of 10000 was greatly in excess OF
all anticipation. With such an enor-
nous supply prices averaged 25@50 be-
low last weeks closing figures. The
better class showed the least weakness
there being no greatly excessive supply
but warmed up" cattle We're neglected
and large number vii be carried ovei
tonight. With plenty of show cattle
this week dressed beef concerns will
have their pick and it is very poor time
to send ordinary half fat stock.
Hogs-Wea1, best excepted; but the
weakness was recovered on good pur-
chases
Sheep-Fifteen lower; lambs declin-
ed about 20 on the average.
