STRUGGLE WITH LEOPARD.
Desperate Fight to Save Woman
Life.

Lieut.. Col. Hutchinson of the Sec
ond Ghurkas had a thrilling fight
with a leopard, which attacked his
wife while on a shooting trip near
Dehra Dun.
They were returning after a days
shooting, and the beaters had gone
on some distance ahead. Mrs. Hutch
inson was walking about ten yards in
front of her husband. She deviated
slightly from the path, and surprised
a young leopard, which Immediately
attacked her.
Col. Hutchinson instantly raised his
rifle to shoot the beast, but dared
not fire for fear of wounding his
wife.
Then, seeing that the only way to
save her life was to drag the leopard
off, he dropped his rifle, and attack
ed the beast with his hands.
The leopard first attempted to seize
his arm, but missed, and Col. Hutch
inson was able to keep it at bay while
his wife rose and ran to call the beat
ers. Meanwhile the animal sprang
again on Col. Hutchinson, and des:
perate fight between the man and
the beast followed.
Col. Hutchinson eluded its springs
with marvellous agility. He made
several attempts to regain his rifle,
but the leopard was on him before
he could pick it up.
Then he thought of his revolver
and was placing his hand on his hip
to draw it when the leopard sprang
on him again, and seized his right
arm. Desperate as the position was,
Col. Hutchinson did not give in, and,
although he was suffering terrible
agonies, he grappled with the beast,
They rolled over several times, the
leopard still clinging to its hold on
his arm.
At last Col. Hutchinson freed his
arm, and succeeded in getting his re.
volver. Then he shot the leopard in
the eye. The animal let 60 its hold,
but the shot had only blinded it.
Before it could spring on him
again Col. Hutchinson had gained
possession of his rifle, and succeeded
in killing the beast just as the first
of the beaters came back.
Col. Hutchinson was by this time
so exhausted from loss of blood and
the struggle that he was in a state
of collapse. He was carried back tc
his bungalow, and his arm, which
was terribly lacerated from the
shoulder to the wrist, was attended
to.
He is now progressing fayorably

been to Ehrhardt twice this week
and on both occasions | got drunk,
and l hereby forbid any of my
friends from offering me a drink any
more, and I hereby pledge myself
not to buy any more for my use,

be a good thing for several more
to do in this section. Several wives, =
mothers, fathers, and no doubt some
sweethearts would rejoice If a like
change would occur and more happy
days and nights would be spent were
this resolve put into execution.
Not long since there was q funny
occurrence in one of the numerous Its
tie fall of the year stores IN the
country. Plenty Of booze was being
drunk by the crowd, finally between
drinks some one in the crowd picked
up a banjo and commenced to pieE as

tent he could not stand up SO he or
dered a plow line looped over the
ioice of the little shanty they were

the two ends of the line hanging
down, and in this position he,danced

and disorderly. Thinking that the
darkey was sober, and owing to the
sudden cold wave coming on, the
