nurtiro IN. Maribou.

Hunting the marabou is attended
with great difficulty as the bird pos
sesses wonderful cunning and often
contrlves to outwit the most skillful
hunter. With laughable dignity 1t
measures the ground between itself
and its pursuer and takes very good
care not to exhaust itself by too rapid
flight. II the hunter moves slowly the
bird at once adopts an equally easy
pace, but II the hunter quickens his
steps the bird is off like an arrow. 1t
Is very difficult to get within gun
range of this calculating creature. but
the natives adopt a novel means Of
capturing II, which the birtS with all
its astuteness, is unable to compre-
bend and falls an easy victim. A
tempting morsel of meat is tied to the
end Of a long stout cord, which the
skillful hunter filings to a great dis
lance, as he would lasso, the bait
falling as near the fleeing bird as he
can aim it. He then conceals himself
hastily behind a bush or crouches low
on the sand The marabou, which al
ways keeps Its eye on the hunter, see
ing him vanish, quietly stops anIide-
YOURS the bait, when 1t is easily Sc
cured by the hunter who runs toward
It, coiling the rope as he goes.

mad with rage as to be past feeling
much pain, one could shrug ones shout

poor old blindfolded screws there can
be no shadow of palliation. After three

Muskrats.

Rare old Captain John Smith In his
quaint History Of New England and
the Summer Isles" published In Lon
don In 1924, gives probably the first
written account of the muskrat He
says that 1.-The mussacus is beast of
the form and nature OF our (English)
water rat and adds that some Of
them smell exceedingly strong Of
musk" These animals may be caught
In almost any sort of trap baited
with sweet apples or parsnips Musk
rats have very strong teeth and can
use them on wood effectively, SO It is
wise to protect all corners and cracks
In your wooden traps with pieces Of
tin or sheet iron. They have good
noses and can smell an apple long
distance of. Place your traps In the
shallow water at the edge of the mill
pond or stream inhabited by these rats,
and they will doubtless find It without
difficulty. Young muskrats are very
gentle and playful and may be handled
without fear. They do not grow fierce

customed to gentle treatment

Eeres. of Natural Columns.

There is in Bulgaria group of nat
ural columns much like the Giants
Causeway In Ireland. On the edge OF
a plateau In the open country rises this
forest Of natural columns, which gives
the impression Of an antique ruin. The
columns, which are about fifteen to
twenty feet high, are absolutely cylin-
drical, and they are often as much as
three feet thick. The qualification OF
the rock resembles joints and vertical

MAY SETTLE BIG
HADDOCK ESTATE
BETWEEN HEIRS is
DRAWN UP
Man Who Was Influenced by Spirit
ualists Left Large Fortune in
Local and Chicago
Real Estate

Settlement in the contest over the will
of the estate of the late Charles G. Had
dock seems imminent. Haddock is said
to have given away large fortune under
the influence of spiritualistic mediums,
who played upon the superstitions of the
man In his old age. He left large
estate, however, which mas been con-
tended for by Mrs. Louisa Willett SEN
sor, sister of Haddock's last wife, and
Frank Haddock and Mrs. Sars ttaddock,
grandchildren of the deceased millionaire.
An agreement has been arranged be-
tween the heirs and now only awaits a
few minor changes and the signatures of
the parties to the contract. 1T is under
stood that the basis of settlement is that
one-third of the estate shall go to the
grandchildren and tie rest to Mrs. Sen
sor. About s15O,0O0 is the estimated value
of the property which will go to the
grandchildren.
The estate consists of Los Angeles and
Chicago realty to the value Of $500,000.
This includes the Haddock homestead at
1615 South Figueroa street, where Mrs.
Sensor now resides. There Is also prop
erty on Hill and Olive streets, and 100
acres of land near Green Meadows. Be
side there is stock In number Of indus

spiritualistic influence to lie extent or
many thousand of dollars, and many SEN

HIGH DIVER LIFTS

MAKES SCENE IN FRONT OF THE
HUNTINGTON BUILDING
Beach Athlete Rebukes Two Women,
and Seeing Specialized Stranger
Near Threatens Him with
His Fist

An excited Individual whom bystand-
ers declared to be r. b. Raymous. the
beach high diver, created scene in
front of the Pacific Electric building
last night at o'clock by abusing two
women and then trying to strike a
pedestrian who stopped moment at
the door of the big passenger station.
Raymous, who off the stage is known
as Arbiu and is painter, had in loud
voice rebuked slender woman who
shrank from him in terror and wo-t.
man who was with her. The unidenti-'
fed pedestrian stopped a moment, pos
sibly attracted by Raymous' evident
frenzy.
The swarthy fellow rushed toward
the stranger, asked in vile terms what
he was doing there and lifted his fist
as II to strike. Then possibly noticing
that the man wore spectacles he gave q
second thought and walked south on
Main street.
"This is public sidewalk" !" remarked
his intended victim, who thought the
fellow had run amuck, and kept his
ground.
The two women hurried into the sta
tion and boarded q suburban car, re-
fusing to give their names.
Raymous has a wife in San Francisco
and it is said has been haunting
suburban city out Pasadena way where
he alleges that a woman for whom he
did painting failed to pay claim. Her
relatives say on the other hand that the
woman turned over a lot to him as
payment.
1t is likely that peace warrant Will
be sworn out against Raymous, who
makes his city headquarters at the
Madison hotel, 1t is stated

JURORS CHOSEN TO SIT
IN CASE OF BLIND PIG
Detective Testifies That He Was Adj
mitted to "cIub" on Payment of
One DolIar-Near Soldiers
Home

p J. Finn was arraigned In Judge
Stephens court yesterday on the charge
of running a blind pig within a mile and
half of the Soldiers home at Sawtelle,
thereby violating section 172 of the penal
code.
Deputy District Attorney Mccormick
appeared for the prosecution, while Paul
W. Schenck argued for the defense. Most
of the day was taken UP In an examina-
tion of the jurors to see If they qualified.
The required number of jurors finally
qualified and the examination of wit
nesses commenced.
The existence of the alleged blind pig
was discovered by a detective, who says
he went there and procured a bottle of
beer, which he says was served to him
by the proprietor. He was introduced to
the proprietor by a friend who was
acquainted with the defendant.
In order to secure the beer the wit
ness claimed he had to pay 81 for menu
bership to the so-called club and sign a
register for members. According to his
testimony the place was run as club.
The case will be continued tomorrow at
$3.50, when other witnesses will be put
upon the stand.
