WOUNDED LIONS FIGHT.
A Nights Shooting Along the Uganda Rail-
way in Africa.

Simba in the native language of East
Africa means lion, and last August
when Capt. Chauncy Hugh Stegand of
the First Kings African Rifles was
travelling on duty by the Uganda Rail-
way he stopped over night at Simba
station. Near there JOG laborers had
been killed by lions during the build
ing of the railway.
About 300 yards from the station is a
tank, supported by pillars. for feeding
the railway engines. Below this tank
was a pool formed by drippings from
the tank, and the lions came at night
p to drink water there.
Being keen sportsman after big
game Capt. Stegand with his orderly
native. made a platform between the
legs of the tank about eight feet from
the ground.
Capt. Stegand took his station on the
platform, says the London Daily
Graphic. and the people of the station
soon after went TO bed. and the captain
was alone on the lookout. Nothing oc-
Cured up to 10 o'clock except the usual
providing of jackals crossing and re-
crossing the scene in the moonlight.
Then the watcher heard a beast coming
behind him, which proved to be a

IDENTIFY performing kind of funeral
service with dirge accompaniment over
the deceased iioness. Their roaring
might have been heard a mile off and
| sounded very grand in the silence of
| midnight
As the clouds occasionally gathered
| over the moon Capt. Stegand could not
| see the animals clear enough to shoot
from the platform under the tank, so
| he waited for them to come toward
| him, as he expected them to come and
| drink out of the pool. They continued
| alternately lying down and getting up
and roaring for two hours, a jacl<al
amusing himself by running up and
down the track of the blood of the dead
lioness all the time
At last the two lions came toward the
watcher. moving slowly. and indistinct
at first from the varying light of the
moon. They came on, one behind the
other. The first lion held it's head
down. The Captain fired at him and
struck his jaw, and the bullet glanced
off his shoulder. He tunbled over on
his head. The Captain fired a second |
shot and hit him just behind the heart. |
The beast spun round like teeto-
tum, then rushed into the tall grass
out of sight. The second lion stood !
watching in a sort of maze, then follow |

exposing his right side, and the captain |
shot him through the heart, as he |

from the station. Approaching the tall |
grass to finish the wounded beast he /
was suddenly attacked.
He shot the lion in the air but the
beast bore him to the ground, decorating
his left shoulder with his paw and sink
ing his teeth in the Captains left arm.
The Captains orderly yelled loudly, but
made no attempt to use the rifle he
carried.
The shouting seemed TO vex the lion
and he let go his hold on Capt. Steg-
and and skunk away into the grass. At
daylight the orderly crept up to have
shot at the king of beasts and was
charged and knocked over, but the lion
was too weak TO worry him. Then a
train came along and passengers and
train hands fired seventeen shots into
the animal before his stout heart ceased
to beat.

the time of his arrest at the Center
Market, it is alleged, Lewis was pick
ing up decayed veseta bIes. Judge
Muilowny heard the case and held him
because he thought there was possibly
something the matter with his brain.
He was released the first part of this
week, and he complained because he
was not longer held in custody. 1t is
said that he came here for the purpose
of procuring a patent for a check
stamping device and that he has re-
ceived remittances from San Joaquin
Cal. Agent Massie of the Prisoners
Aid Society became interested in the
Hawaiian, and ii was due to him that
he procured his release so soon. 1t is
expected that the police surgeons will

knOck?

Last week DR.. Gibson of the Hos
pital for Mental Diseases, after care
full investigation, became satisfied that
certain employees were not only dere-
lict in their duty. but had so far for
cotton their obligation as state en-
ployes, as to permit in three or four
instances, the escape of patients and
gave grounds for suspicion that they
had given aid to the escapes.
The superintendent did not act
hastily, but carefully investigated mat
tiers and when convinced of the dis
loyalty of those who held positions Of
trust, called them into the Office and
dismissed them. The superintendent
did not care to make the matter
public, as it was simply matter be.
tween himself and those under him,
consequently he declined to give
names Or details connected with tho
transaction.
\ No~ eome' The dismissed employees
AIN their sympathizer with a herald
ing OF trumpets and demand SPECIFIC
charges and an investigation. 1t is
the same old Asylum and State Prison
row which has been on for years,
viz when an irresponsible attendant
at the asylum, or guard at the prison,
cannot dictate to the superintendent
or warden and is not permitted to do
as he or she sees fit, or run either
the one or the other public institutions
then they arise on their hind legs and
tell their troubles not only to the
policemen, but the whole common
wealth and demand all kinds OF inves-
LEGATIONS, including those of state
boards and grand juries in order that
the injured innocense of the employe
may be soOthed.
The facts are that the heads of
these institutions are responsible to
the people for their proper manage
ment and if the heads of such insti-
tutions are satisfied that employees are
negligent or disloyal, it is their duty
to dismiss such servants.
If an employee does not value the
trust imposed in him enough to be
true to his duty. and the people who
pay for the service. he deserves dis
missal and such persons should take
their medicine and not whine.
The asylum is an institution main
tanned by the taxpayers in the in
terest of humanity and not in the in
tesrest of some ordinary employe and
Dr. Gibson has acted in this matter
properly and as the requirements OF
his responsible position demands. Let
the disgruntled ex-employes and their
sympathizers hunt another job and
hold their peace for they may have
cause to congratulate themselves on
getting of. with simply dismissal

SO that you have his body forthwith before this
court"
This mandate has been issued in connection
with criminal prosecution instituted by the pub
lie prosecutor in the name of the people of Ohio,
charging Rockefeller with conspiracy in restraint
OF trade, in organizing trust and monopoly in the
oil business in that state
There is little chance that the sheriff will find
Rockefeller in Hancock any other county in
Ohio for some time, but it is very serious matter
for which he is wanted and it is the first instance
in which he has been held to personal accountable
ity for alleged criminal violation of the law of the
land
The possible consequences OF this prosecution
are indeed formidable. Should the state of Ohio
succeed in establishing the guilt of Rockefeller, he
can be punished by imprisonment for period Of
from six months to one year in the workhouse at
Toledo and fined from $50 to $4,000, or both.
From such sentence, unless imposed after a
plea OF guilty, an appeal may be taken to higher
courts, but if the is carried to such the
sentence imposed by the lower tribunal is en-
forced unless illegaties in the process are es-
tablished
Clearly the senior senator must be seriously
disturbed when the liberty no less than the bank
account OF the father OF his daughters husband is
thus menaced by the majesty of the law.
