Gov. Vardaman. equally as confident

''You can say that I feel confident of
victory, and feel that will be nominee
by few hundred majority when all the
returns are made up and counted
This is the situation. with the returns
favorable to Williams. but an official
count is being demanded by his opponent.
Brewer Probably Elected.
IN the gubernatorial contest, which has
been equally as exciting, the result is in
doubt. Scott. Noel, and Brewer are lead
ing, neck and neck, coming hard under
spur and whip, and with the wire almost
at their noses. Many Of the returns came
in over the telephone from backwoods
counties. and they are being hourly re-
vised by mail reports, which are accurate
This makes all three candidates anxious.

citement.

by 19030 votes. Now the Indication is
that Brewer viii lead in the first primary

ports from Democratic county executive

doubt

tion Of the Democratic minority leader is
claimed by a majority Of 1,4c0 votes, this
estimate being based on what is appar.
emily official returns from all of the
counties. At the Vardaman headquarters
the nomination Of the governor is claimed
by from SEQ to SOC.
The political surprise Of the day was
the elimination of Charles Scott from the
stx-cornered race for governor. While
SCOTS supporters do not positively con-
Ccde his defeat. ii appears almost certain
that he VIII not be in the second primary

light"
Picking up a piece of frewood that lay
near him, Jim threw it at the staring eyes;
one.
A yell of mingled surprise and rage re-
sounded through the shanty, and large am
NAL sprang down from the loft, lighting upon
the bench which we had pushed against the
door.
As he crouched there, glaring at us, and
lashing, his tail about with anger | saw al
once what visitor we had. The pair Of s eyes e.
WhGh Jim had treated SO r1dely belonged 10
The bench upon which the animal was
crouchng was the only article of furniture
in the shanty, and we had used it as shelf
and table, upon it now lay the remains OF
our supper and the barrels of our guns
The leopard was master of the situation.
The arms and provisions alike were In his
power.
Jim and I stood in front of the fire, mo.
tionless. The bench on which the leopard
was standing was about fifteen feet from us,
and we knew he could clear that distance in
one bound.
But the animal was hungry, and, before
molesting us, he meant to taste the grouse
ing the bones to him with one paw, he lay
down and began crunching them, watching us
sullenly, and snarling as animals IN a menag-
erie do when being fed.
L MS DeudVlOr on Cne leOpuruS B pdrJ. 80 uli-
ferent from what we would have expected
from our native panthers, recalled the fact
to our minds that we had to deal with an
animal whose natural courage had doubtless
been broken by years of captivity. The stocks
of our guns lay on the floor at our feet and
we had some loaded cartridges in our pockets.
If we could make the leopard leave the bench,
so that we could regain possession of the
gun barrels we would be armed and have the
animal at our mercy.
Keeping his eyes fixed on the leopard, Jim
slowly drew a blazing piece of wood from
the fire and whispered me to do the same.
Waving the torches in front of us, and
keeping close together, we made flank
movement and slowly advanced toward the
animal, hoping to drive him from the bench.
We carried the gun stocks in our left
hands, and when we could reach the barrels
it would take but a moment to unite the
parts of the guns and send two charges of
shot through our visitor.
But his few weeks of liberty had brought
back to the leopard some part of the old
fierceness which had been his in the jungles
of India, in the days before he had known
the degradation of prison bars. When he
saw us advancing upon him, instead of re-
treating, as we had hoped he would, the big
cat dropped the bones, and drawing himself
together, showed his teeth and growled in
most unpleasant fashion.

TO continue our hunt, hoping for SPECIFY
change in the temperature.
That morning we beat through several
swamps lying in the vicinity of our camp
but did not rouse deer.
The cold did not abate, and when we re-
turned to the shanty at noon we consulted as
to whether it would not be best to return
home; but Jim was for staying.
about five miles further into the woods.
near the South Branch of the Salmon, there
are several big cedar swamps, and I'm sure
we'll find deer in them. | know good wea-
ther-proof shanty on the South Branch, where
we can be comfortable. even if the cold snap
does hold on"
l was an easy convert to Jim's arguments,
and soon we had packed our scanty camping
outfit and were tramping toward the South
Branch.
During our journey we flushed a flock OF
grouse, and as we had had no fresh meat for
several days, we stopped and endeavored to
shoot some of the birds. We finally secured
two out of the flock.
Either we spent too much time after the
grouse, or the shanty was a greater distance
away than Jim had estimated for it was
quite dark when we at last reached the lum-
bermens shanty on the South Branch, which
Jim intended our headquarters.
The log building as often the case,
had been stable for the horses used in haul
ing the logs to the river, as well as sleeping
and eating place for the men.
One end was divided into rough stalls, and
through the cracks in the loose flooring,
which formed the loft overhead, we could see
some musty hay-the remains of tine horse
fodder.

dow had long since disappeared, and on the
whole the shanty was pretty cold, comfort

of the plank used in the stalls. we soon had
great fire blazing on the hearth, and mat

We put boards across the window as well
as we could; a heavy plank bench, which we
used for table, was pushed against the door,
and served to prevent its blowing open.
We broiled our grouse and had cozy sup

guns apart and proceeded to give them thor
