BACK FROM AFRICA.
After Two Years in the Fever
Stricken Jungles.

Dan +. Courtney, who with
Charley Rice and Lafe Yates, left
here two years ago for Africa, re-
turned yesterday and brings with
him abundant evidence of the
strenuous life he has led during his
absence. The boys left here in the
employ of an English company
that had secured a tract of 35, 600
square miles of land at the head of
the Nile river and wished to have
it prospected for precious metals.
A great portion Of the territory had
never been explored by white men,
and in undertaking the task the
boys had to depend entirely upon
their own judgment and American
perseverance. They found gold
but not in sufficient quantities to
justify the heavy expense necessary
to take it out, and it is hardly
probable that the company will be-
come prominent from a mining
standpoint in the near future.
The climate, like all tropical Sec
tions, is wet and disagreeable, and
during the rainy season, from April
to November, the rain fall is some
thing terrific. Mr.. Courtney suf-
fered severly from fever and at one
time his life was despaired of
There was but little large timber
but the thorn bushes and vines
formed jungle through which it
was almost impossible to force
ones way. The country is a hunt
er's paradise and large game of all
kinds was so abundant that it re-
quired no effort whatever to kill
Ill that was wanted. Mr.. Courtney
brought back quite a number OF
curios and talks entertahingly of
his experience. He left Mr.. Yates
in London but has since received a
cable from him saying that he
would return soon. Charley Rice
is in Chicago and will probably be
here sometime this month.

Fat and Lean Men are Well.

Owing to the good Offices of some
benevolent persons in furnishing a
25-gallon barrell of arnica and the
continual cheering and praise from
he large crowd at the ball game
Friday, Grangeville's fat and lean
men managed to screw up courage
enough to run up score of 81 to
"a. They became short circuited
and had to call the game off after
the fifth inning. The lean men
won the laurels. Though the fat
men claim they would have won
if Young had played short stop.
The grand-stand helped both sides
by catching most the balls for
Fulton and Moore. The umpire as
sisted Giles and Harris by shutting
his eyes and calling strikes out OF
sympathy for the pitchers. Every
one thought Dalzell was hurt when
he rolled halfway across the dia-
mond, but the ground was soft.
DR.. Campbell broke the rules by
striking at the ball before it left
the pitcher, and Nugent made the
bases in three jumps.
The game opened something
like this, with Molasses at the
stick; Hay-fever was catching; Ci-
gar was in the box and plenty OF
smoke; Horn was playing first
base; Fiddle played second base,
and Corn was in the field. When
AK went to bat he chopped, Cigar
let Brick walk and the bases were
filled-with sswdust; Song made a
hit and Twenty made score.
When the fat men got in Balloon
tried to throw to second base but
went up in the air; Cherry tried to
throw from the field to third but
was wild one; Organ refused to
play and Bread loafed. Song made
another hit and Trombone tried to
slide. After the fifth inning Wind
blowed SO hard the game was
called off and the trees began to
leave. Oats was shocked when
he heard the score. There wae
some betting on the game and Egg
went broke. No one was serious.
