W director of the Bronx Zoo"
1V4 in New York, has had
large experience Of hand-to-
hand combats with wild animals, but
if he is asked to tell the story of one
of them he prefers to recount what
happened to an Anglo-Indian friend
Of his, Mr.. Rhodes Morgan. when the
latter tracked down a wounded buffalo
in an Indian Jungle
Il wasn't there" says Mr.. Horna-
day, but this is the story, as Morgan
tells it. The buffalo suddenly charged
out from a dense mass Of under
growth, with a snort like steam
engine, and sent Morgan flying through
the air. He fell on his back, and was
Immediately struck a blow OH the
ribs that made them spring inward
as the top Of hencoop would with
a heavy man sitting on it,
Morgan says that he felt his last
hour had come The brute struck him
with his head again and again, some
times on his breast, back and legs,
sometimes on his sides, while some
times he butted the ground only i'll
his blind fury. The blood poured i'll
stream from the animals open
mouth, and the hot breath from his
nostrils sent that blood in sprays all
over the PROSTATE man.
Morgan, though conscious, Law
quite still. Presently the buffalo stop
ped and looked at him Imagining
that he was dead, he slowly walked
away short distance and stood eye
ing the body malevolently.
There was a big tree stump near
by, and Morgan thought if he could
only drag himself behind it he might
be safe He began to draw himself
along, bit by bit, but in an instant
the bull rushed at him again and
struck him several fearful blows.
." All this time, said Morgan, in tell
ing me the story, no fewer than six
native beaters had been calmly look
ing on, and | heard one Of them say:
Dear mel The buffalo is killing the
SahibP and another said: Send for
the shikaree to shoot it," (The shi-
karee was two miles away with nv
tiffin basket and spare gunD But
presently one of the beaters uttered
the most diabolical yell ! ever heard
in my life. The bull instantly threw
up his head, turned tail, and dashed
away in terror. If only that beater
had yelled at first might have been
saved from being pounded almost to
a Jelly
"You would have thought that Nor
gan had had enough of that bull, but
his bulldog English spirit was aroused.
He waited for the shikaree to arrive
with the extra gun-his own having
been broken by the Infatuated animal
and then followed the trail, his ma
tives supporting him.
They found the buffalo standing in
open ground near by, wounded and
weak from exhaustion. Morgan fired
twice, but he could hardly hold the
gun, and the shots went wild. The
buffalo fled some distance, and then
stood still again on another piece Of
open ground. Morgan got within
twenty yards of him, when he charged
and received the contents of two bar
rels. He fell, and a bullet through
the heart finished him.
Morgan sank helplessly to the
ground beside the carcass. His ma
tives carried him home, and he was
confined to his bed for a fortnight,
his whole body being black and blue"

The SMALLPOX Situation,

There have been further develop
ments in the smallpox situation. The
number of cases to date is 16. Of
these 2 have recovered. There are y
patients in the pest house and the
others quarantined. One of the pa
tents at the pest house, Mrs. Kelly,
is very sick and her recovery is in
l'dOubt. The others are getting on
very WELL None of those quaran-
tined in their homes are badly af-
fected. These cases were vaccinated
as soon as it was discovered that
they had been exposed to the disease.
The situation appears to be we'll
in hand and while other develop
ments may reasonably be expected
there is no danger of an epidemic
of smallpox and outside the doctors
and those most intimately concerned
our people give the matter very little
concern Indeed, the GOLD LEAF
fears that they are too little con-
cerned about it. While we would not
have them alarmed it is well to exer-
else every precaution by vaccination
| and otherwise. Quarantine regula-
tions, however, are being properly
enforced. But whether quarantine
has been extended far enough is a
question of doubt in the minds of
some. But as a layman we are en-
tirely satisfied to leave the whole
| matter in the hands of the doctors.
Contrary to the general opinion it
is severe type of the disease, some
of the cases developing in its worst
form.

Senator Burrouqhs a Candidate.

Mr.J. E. Burroughs, of Dabney. was
a caller at this office Wednesday. In
the course of our conversation the
subject of candidates was brought
up, suggested by the announcements
made. The question was asked Mr.
Burroughs if he would be a candidate
for the Senate again. He said he
would. AS the other county officers
had received an endorsement by being
reelected he did not feel that it would
be unreasonable for him to ask the
same. He had been faithful to his
trust and conscientious in the per-
Torrance of his duty as he saw it and
his record is an open one. II am a
candidate for reelection" said Sena-
tor Burroughs, "but | will make no
scramble for the nomination. If the
people OF Vance county wish me to
serve them | am willing to do So"

A RICH TREAT IN STORE.
Henderson nusic Lovers to Enjoy a
Rare Treat by Richmond Talent.
Monday Night, April 4fk-Benefit
Of the Kings Daughters.


Miss Willie Smoot has consented to
give concert in Henderson for the
benefit of the Kings Daughters. She
will be assisted by her own quartette
from the Second Presbyterian church,
where she is organist and director,
and by the Virginia Glee Club which
is composed of 4 of the best male
voices in the city. This club is very
much in demand having engagements
in Washington and other cities and
1T is only through their courtesy to
Miss SmOot that they are induced to
come to Henderson on charitable
mission.
The Second Presbyterian church
quartette has for soprano Miss Kath-
crime Belle Powell, an acknowledged
beauty and possessor of a wonderful
pure lyric voice. Mr.. J. E. Dunbar is
well known as the basso profundo of
Richmond, and gives his numbers
with boldness and merit. The con-
tralto is now in New York studying,
but will return to Richmond in time
for the concert and will sing some of
her beautiful tender love songs, while
Mr.. j. Audley Morton, the tenor,
always delights his audience with his
sweet and pathetic voice. This quar-
tette is one of the best in Richmond,
their voices blending beautifully and
a charm about their singing is their
willing responsiveness.
Mrs. Yeamans is without a rival as
an elocutionist and her selections are
both dramatic and comic but when
she recites her negro dialect, she fairly
brings down the house.
We are sure a rich treat is in store
for Henderson music lovers.

Beats Them Both.

The GOLD LEAF last week was
about to give Mr.. Henry Thomson
credit for having been in business
longer than any other man or firm in
Henderson without any change in the
name orstyle-15 years-when it was
ascertained that Mr. Edwin Stephens
claimed that distinction he having
been in business 20 years. Now comes
into court Mr. John B. Watkins who
deposes and says that neither OF these
good men and true is entitled to the
blue ribbon. He has been in business
% years, has had no partner and
made no change, and is still in the
lead in building materials with the
best and prettiest stock in Hender-
son. And there is not a cleverer or
straighter man to do business with
in Henderson or anywhere else than
John B. Watkins.

Damon and Pvthias.

Hallam's Damon and Pythias Com
pany filed their engagement at
Cooper Opera House Saturday night.
They had q small audience-as was
expected. Saturday night is a bad
shown night in a town Of this size.
1t is unfortunate that another date
could not be made. They deserved a
better house and many persons who
really wanted to see the performance
were denied that pleasure. 1t is a
strong acting company, composed of
some of the finest actors seen on tbs
stage, and sustained the reputation
that had preceded them.
