Initiating a Monkey to Lure a Tiger.
From the London Fic

To call tiger the proceeding was as fol-

that tiger was in the neighborhood. would
climb into u we'll branChed leafy tree situated
near whore he supposed the tiger to be. and
after hiding himself among the branches

the gathering of monkey, and break and
drop twlCs III the way that monkeys do.
Then he would let fall to the ground

when it struck the ground would sound as II
a baby monkey had tumbled down from
the tree, and at the same time would initiate
the supposed baby monkey cries This
would be the supreme moment. for If tiger
were near 1T would often spring out, in the
hope of swapping up such dainty morsel
as young monkey, and then bullet from
the gun Of the hidden Nlikr might find its
billet in the tigers body. BY this means
the Mkir was said to have killed consider

power Of mimicry was wonderfully good
The call for deer was of an entirely different
nature the sound initiated being the cry OF a
fawn. and as this cry sometimes attracted
tigers, tooit had to be adopted with caution,
because il was used only in open grass land,

have exchanged will hold them together
For all this Darwin assures us that kissing
is unknown among the Malays. the jewellers

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.--Nine persons
we're wounded this morning in Eddy street
by Thomas Lobb. an insane carpenter
from Benson, Aiz., who barricaded him
self in room on the fifth floor Of the United
States Hotel and fired at any one in sight.
Lobb registered at the hotel last night
and carried at that time a shotgun and
revolver as well as package of strawberry
tarts, which he had bought near by. His
actions were peculiar, but no one regarded
him as dangerous.
Nothing was heard from him until Gas
this morning. when he began to throw
furniture and small articles from his window.
A crowd of persons going to work soon
collected. Then he began to shoot. The
crowd broke and fled, but the maniac s
aim was so sure that he wounded eight
persons before they could get out Of range.
Police we're summoned and for nearly
an hour they carried on fight with the
desperate man, who had barricaded his
door with mattresses and shot at every one
from behind the head Of the bed. Police
man kissane was wounded in the cheek
as he tried to shoot Lobb from the transom.
Finally Policeman Hutchings was ordered
to descend the fire esca pc from the roof and

broke in the door. Hutohings followed his
orders and as he came opposite Lobb's
window he opened fire. After one sh OF

before he blew out his own brains with a

1t seems almost certain that Lobb brooded
over the other tragedy and when his reason
gave way determined to adopt the same
course. In the dead mans room were
found fragments OF $50 bill. the re-
