The wild DOar Of India.

General Sir Montague Gerard OF the
British army in his book Of reminis-
cences has much to say about hunting.
During his twenty years residence in
India he killed nearly 200 tigers. some
Of them dreaded man eaters. while his
bags of other wild animals would be
difficult to number. Terrible as is the
tiger, the wild boar Is ever more saw
age and dangerous to attack. His
tusks frequently grow TO nine or ten
inches In length and are as sharp as d
razor. Tigers have a special dread OF
him, and in their encounters. which
sometimes happen, he. nearly always
come out victor. In pig sticking,
which Is always done with a spear on
horseback, there il constant danger OF
his diselnboweling horses. in which
ease the rider often suffers also. Gen
erai Gerard had many narrow escapes.

BIG GRAVEL ENTERPRISE.
Rock Island Road Is Digging Up ISL
and at Harvey.

Knoxville, Nov. 8.-The scene OIL
greatest activity along business lines
in Marion county at the present time,
perhaps, is on "The Island" opposite
Harvey, in the big gravel pit. The
Rock Island Railroad company have
put in two mammoth steam shovelers
at that place and are now daily load
ing 500 cars with sand and gravel.
The material which is being taken
from the pit is used as ballast on the
tracks between Evans and Oskaloosa
and from Washington to the state
line on the southwestern branch. Be
tween 80 and 100 men are employed
in the pit besides the crews of the
seven trains which are running reg
ular, each hauling immense trains Of
gravel. The ballast material at that
point is almost inexhaustible and is
said to be n of the best as well AS
the largest deposits of the kind in the
state. A station has been erected on
the island and a well equipped tele-
graph Office put in.
