 Boar but Hunting knIfe
 Saves HIs Life. as

Kansas City.-A hunting party com. posed of Dr. D. w. Whipple. w. w. Kellogg and A. A. Martin, all of Hous-I ton. Tex., had some lively experiences with wild hogs while out after deer mi zayala county recently. They had for, their guide Hardaway Evans. who knows every foot of that part of south. west Texas and has hunted deer and other game on all of the ranches of that section. Deer are plentiful on the Pryor ranch where the hunting party made it's headquarters. but 1t was the hordes of wild hogs that spoiled the real pleasure of the party and caused them to be in constant un. easiness for their lives. Although the game protection law does not apply to wild hogs the animals seem to, have multiplied and thrived under 1t. There are portions of Zavala county which are literally overrun with them. They are exceedingly vicious and are noted among hunters as the most fear less animal that ever was encountered in Texas. President Roosevelt made the trip all the way from New York when police commissioner of that city to hunt them in Zavala county. MT. Martin was his guide on that occa- sion. The Houston hunting party hunted on the same ranch upon which President Roosevelt exercised his prowess. There are many more droves of wild hogs now rowing over the ranch than when President Roosevelt visited there
 A day or two after the hunters ar rived on the ranch MT. Kellogg was out after deer when he ran into a bunch of wild hogs. which were feed ing in a little clearing in the mesquite. The animals no sooner saw him than they all charged at him, led by a big boar with long, sharp-pointed tusks. MT. Kellogg dropped his gun and man aged to climb small post-oak tree which he fortunately found close by The captive attracted the attention of Dr. Whipple by his hallooing and tho latter came to the rescue. The drove of maddened animals no sooner saw Dr. Whipple arrive on the scene than bunch of them made a charge at him. again headed by the big boar. Dr. Whipple managed to fire one shot. killing one of the animals. but the re. mainder kept right on towards him

The Scar cireIed After Him Closely.

s"S DVes SWS'ss NseST VI" Ss0Uetys He followed the example of Mir. Kel. logg and dropped his gun and made for the nearest tree. He climbed safe. ly into its lower branches before the wild hogs reached the spot. The two men were kept prisoners by the en- ragged animals for more than three hours. The hogs finally got tired oe their guard duty and wandered oR. The two men climbed down and hur. ried away from the spot.
 The hide of the wild hog. particu- larly of the old boars. Is almost like armorplate when it'comes to being i'm penetrable for bullets. This fact was demonstrated by Mir. Martin who came near losing his life or being badly wounded as a result of his confi- dence in his gun. He fired at a wild boar with his rife at 90 yards. The bullet struck the animal just back of the middle of the body about two inches from the hip. It did not pene- trate the thick skin. but was ma. rooned and fell hattened to the ground. The force of the blow of the bullet was suf1icient. however, to cause the animal to temporarily lose the use of its hind legs. and 1t dropped down upon its hindparts. Mir. Martin, thinking he had given the animal death wound. rushed forward to cut It's throat with his knife. The ani. mal waited until he vas within . few, feet of him. when 1t suddenly recov- cred the use of It's hind legs and made . desperate charge upon Mir. Martin. But for the fact that a tree was close by. and that Mir. Martin vas afforded | chance 10 dodge behind it. he would have been caught and torn by the tusks of the animal The boar circied after him closely. Mir. Martin drevl ais hunting knife and made . sudden iunge at the animal By q lucky stroke the blov severed the jusuiarI rein Of the boar and it quickly bIsd so death

EONCO ATROCITIES.
Protest Against Leopold's
 Rule In West Africa.
ASK ROOT TO URGE NEEDED REFORMS
v. Pierpont Morgan, Lyman Abbott and Many Others Send Petition to Washington Regarding Cruel-
 ty and Injustice to Natives.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-An open letter from j. Pierpont Morgan, Dr. Lyman Abbott and others addressed to Secretary Root urging him to use the moral support of the United States in the direction of correcting abuses said to exist in the Kongo region was re- : ceived at the state department and will ' be taken into consideration along with other similar communications on the subject at once.
 Secretary Root, in speaking of the matter and of the recent statement in the Belgian parliament that the pur- pose of Belgium in annexing the Kon- go Free State was in order to enable that country to deal with the subject In more effective way, said that all this country could do was to decorous- ly and politely urge Belgium to greater activity.
 The memorial reads as follows:
 'Over year has passed since the re- port of the commissioners chosen by the chief executive and virtual owner of the Kongo to investigate conditions in that state was published. In spite of their natural desire to give all pos 5 sible credit to their sovereign the com miSsioners felt constrained to report the existence of measures and prac- tices of fragrant inhumanity. Among these measures and practices are the following:
 "First-The exaction of labor tax so oppressive that many natives on whom 2 1t falls have little if any freedom.
 Second. Appropriation of land to :. such an extent that the natives are practically prisoners within their own sterritory.
 Third The employment under the authority of the government as sen tries of cruel, brutish blacks chosen { from hostile tribes, who murder and .1pillage the people for whose protection the government is avowedly establish ' ed.
 "Fourth.-The abuse of the natives by white representatives of officially recognized companies.
 Fifth. binding of little children to years of labor at uncertain wages by contracts they do not understand and a even more serious maltreatment of children supposedly under the imme- diate care of the government.
 "Sixth.-Great injustice in the ad- ministration of the courts, so that the natives dread the name of Bona, the place where the judicial system is cen tralized.
 "Seventh.-The sending out of puni- tive expeditions not for the purpose of establishing peace and order. but for the purpose of terrifying the natives into paying tax which as adminis- tered even the commissioners regard as inhuman.
 Tt is to be remembered that these are not charges brought against the Kongo government, but findings of the appointed by King Leopold to investigate and report on the facts.
 There Is no evidence that the Kongo government is undertaking seriously to remedy these evils. ,"Inasmuch as the United States gave its moral support to the establishment of the .Kongo government it is justified in giving it's moral support to any un- dertaking to secure conditions in the Kongo that will not disgrace civiliza- fiOn
