Some time ago ! was asked TO come

broken. and there were claw marks
Bn the nose and shoulder. but nowhere
else. There was no donbt that the
tiger had jumped Mt the bull and land

turned his head to gore the tiger he
must have put his claw out and with
n sudden jerk broken the neck.
On another occasion went to see
young buffalo which had been killed by
a tiger and found the same thing had
happened. There were similar marks
Oh the nose and also on the near Shout
der. which clearly Indicated that this
animal had been killed in the same
way. NLalays who have actually seen
tiger killing a buffalo told me they
saw the same thing happen; also that
in dragging off n heavy carcass such
as buffalo or bull, he gets most Of the
weight across his shoulder.
This must be fairly correct. as I
have often followed kill, and the
marks left indicate that only a portion

BLACK GOVERNORS.
A Curious Piece of Old Time Con acct
fcut History.

~ book little known even to collect
crs OF Americana is volume entitled
Hartford In tue Olden Time: Its First
Thirty Years by Scneva, which was
edited hy W. NJ. b. Hartley and pub
lisA:i nj Hartford in 1888. There is a
chapier in this hook entitled THE
Back Governors Of Connecticut" the
very title Of which will excite the sur
prise of most intelligent people even in
Connecticut, who have never heard Of
any black governors in the Nutmeg
State except tho governors of an oppo-
site political faith. who were, of course,
politically black. The title. however, is
explained and justified by little ex-
PLANTATION. Before tho Revolution and
down 80 Il period as late as 1920 ii was
the custom for tile negroes living IN
the Ftate to hold an election on the Sat
urday succeeding the regular election
day, choosing one of their number as
governor. Sometimes, however. no
election was held. the retiring governor
assigning his Office to another. The
man chosen in either case was usually
of imposing presence, strength. firm
ness and volublity. quick to decide.
reaGy to command and quick to fog"
He appointed staff of military and
judicial officers, who executed his or
dcrr in all matters pertaining 10 col
oreQ people. especially questions per-
tanning 10 morals. manners and cere-
molics.
: Tie fact thpt he had no legal status
in the province or state did not mt all
trouble him or his subjects and he ap-
pears To have exercised a very real
power. nearly always on the side of
morality and justice. The justices of
the peace appointed by these black
governors were. as rule. extremely
severe in Furnishing people OF their
own color who transgressed the law.
So generally was this recognized by
the whites in colonial times that when
a slave Committed some offense it was
the custom to turn him over to the
black justice for punishment Such a
culprit always Jared much worse than
if he had been tried by tile regular
courts.
| Among the more notable colored men
who held the office of governor were

George WHY'S; Peleg Mott. who be

olas; John Anderson and Cuff, who
held the Office for ten years. After The
