Bio Game ia the Transx..L

The Transvaal is likely to become
again the popular resort of big game
hunters There has, indeed, since the
war, been such an influx of big game
into the Northwestern districts as to
constitute record in their modern
history This is due to prolonged
drought, and the consequent destruc-
ton of the pastures in Western At
RIGA Even the Gland and the Wild
beeste, which have for many years
been very rare in the TransvaaI, have
made their appearance. However, the
majority of the new arrivals are bucks.
The authorities are doing all they can
to induce the game to remain in their
newly sought fields.

First Aid to the Injured.

In the last year 1920 persons have
been instructed in first aid to the in
jured in the class formed by the
society organized for that purpose.
The society's annual report gives an
instance illustrative of the value of
it's work, showing that at least one
life was saved that would otherwise
have been lost. A driver had a leg
terribly crushed by heavy stone fall
ing on it. A policeman who had been
member of one of the society's
classes quickly cut the leather thong
from his club and twisted it around
the mans limb, using the club itself
as a tourniquet- In this way the man
was kept alive until the ambulance ar
rived. But for the policeman's prompt
and intelligent action the man would
have died on the spot

Three men now openly accuse Jet
of killing Marcum, and now that they

Jet and Tom Cockrell, who each
swore out warrants, Capt. B. ]. Even,
who was at Marcum's side when he

Although Jet must be indicted in
Breathitt county, it is certain a change
of venue will be ordered, so that he
will not be left with his friends, who
control the judicial machinery of the
county.
A messenger who left the interior of
Breathitt county at dawn May 4 to
bear warning to Attorney J. B. Mar

formed the night before, reached
jackson a few minutes after an as
sassin's bullet had crashed through
Marcum's brain and heart as he stood
in the courtho use door.
The night before the murder Ed

imperative, but boy and girl dances,

hostess is the only chaperon, show
how society in England has modified
its views with regard to the necessity

neck of the king, half dozen navvies
hitched themselves to the ground end
of the rope and-the great statue lay
in many fragments. The charitable
explanation is advanced that this
course was taken to remove any
chance of his majesty, when he goes
to Glasgow in May, seeing himself as
so many thousands lad been led to
imagine him.
