"On Friday morning two old natives
and a pickaninny, who had been sleeping
in a skerm, erected In the lands, awoke
to find that ten full grown elephants and
three calves were within few yards of
where they lay. The natives fed in ter
ror pursued by one of the beasts, which
was apparently enraged at the sight Of
human beings In such close proximity to
the calves. The p!ckaninny was just on
the point Of being tusked. but saved HIM
self by rushing on hands and knees
through the branches of the fallen tree.
The elephant tossed these aside, and con-
tlnued In pursuit of the old men. One
escaped but the other was overtaken in
about 100 yards, and the vicious beast
transfXed him through the back, the
protruding tusk blowing deeply into the
soil.

rip its victim to pieces. splitting one leg
from bullock to calf and an arm from
shoulder to wrist. He just lived long

Charging that Mrs. Christina Heit-
enmeyer had said, "You are thief,
and you stole all the bedclothes that
are in the house," Mrs. Nellie Burlygn
figured as the plaintiff in an action for
$4,000 for slander before Judge Heis-
ley and jury in Circuit Court B to-
day.
The offensive epithet of thief was
alleged to have been spoken, according
to Mrs. Buriygn, by Mrs. Heitenmeyer,
October II, 1906, in a saloon in Com
mefce street, as climax to war of
words between the women. The saloon
was run by man of the name of McA
Manus, and was raided by the police

marry the defendant, according to her
story, and after he had gotten about
$4,000 from her
AS Mrs. Burlygn was McManuss s
housekeeper the women developed the
trouble that has now brought them into
the civil courts.
After James r. McDermit, as counsel
for the plaintiff. and Colonel E. Liv-
ingston Price, as counsel for the de-
fendant, had submitted their case to
the jury, the Judge charged and left
the twelve men TO determine the merit
of the action.

RICH HUSBAND
FLEES WITH
AFFINITY
Chancery Court Is Seeking
Missing Head Of Jersey
City Concern.
Especial to the Evening star

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 3.--Louis A.
Muzzio, president of the Jersey Paper
Stock Company. has fled from New
Jersey with his 5-year-old son Howard
and, it is said, with Mrs. Blanche Will
ber. Mr.. Muzzio, who lived at 31S Fair
mount avenue, is now practically a
fugitive from justice. and Vice-Chan-
cellor Garrison has signed an order
awarding the custody of the boy, How
York, its mother.
/. r. Goldenhorn, counsel for Mrs
Muzzio, believes that the couple anc
tils boy are III Buffalo. AS soon as they
are located they will be brought bach
to Jersey City, and Muzzio viii face the
Court of Chancery on, \ charge of con-
tempt Mrs. WilbeE Mr.. Goldenhorn
says, will probably f~ce Judge Blair on
other charges.
Muzzio is very wealthy. He first
came before Vice-C Chancellor Garrison
two weeks ago, when Mrs. Muzzio sued
for the custody of the son in the pos
session of the father. The court re-
fused her the custody of the child, and
left it with Muzzio on his promise that
he would cease his relations with Mrs.
WILDER. This Muzzio promised to do.
When Muzzio was making his prom
ise, Mrs. Wilber a pretty, willowy sort
of woman, whom Mr. Muzzio first met,
according to his wife, at Coney Island,
sat well back among the spectators
benches and smiled softly. After all
those interested in the case had left
the court room, Mrs. Wilber Joined
Muzzio outside.
Among other things, Vice-C Chancellor
Garrison, in awarding the custody of
the child to Muzzio, demanded that he
give bond for $1,000 that he would
not take the child out of the State
and that Mrs. Muzzio have the right
of visitation. Following along the lines
of the visitation order, Mrs. Muzzio
came over to Jersey City the latter
part of last week and sought out her
husband. He could not be found, and
she went at once to the office of her
counsel. Mr.. Goldenhorn got into COM
munication with Wenner & Ostrom,
counsel for Muzzio, and then learned
that they had received a letter from
Muzzio in which he had stated that
he had left town.
A visit was at once made to the board
ing house kept by Mrs. wilber on Kearny
avenue There it was learned that she
had left the town, and that before going
she had disposed of her entire household
furnishings to an auctioneer.
With these facts Mr.. Goldenhorn laid
the case before Chancellor Garrison,
and an order was at once made giving to
the mothe. the custody Of the son Howard.
A search VIII at once be made for Muzzio,
Mrs. WILDER and the boy. When they are
found ali three will be brought back to

AGED HUSBAND
SEEKING HIS
YOUNG WIFE
Mrs. Anna Penn, s. Years,
Missing Since Nov. 2.
Husband Is 50.

Mrs Anna Penn, about 80 years old,
wife of Charles b. Penn, who is about
so, of Mountain avenue, Upper Mont
clair has been missing from her home
since November % last.
On that day Mrs Penn visited sis
ter in Brooklyn, and in the evening
was accompanied by her sister to the
New York side of the Hoboken ferry
and left there. Mrs. Penn went inside
the ferry house. and took a seat in the
waiting room. and her sister returned
home. That is the last that has been
seen of the woman by her friends.
Aged Mr.. Penn thought his young
wife had remained in Brooklyn with
her friends until he visited them Sum
day On learning that she was not in
Brooklyn he reported the matter to
Chief of Police Gallagher, of Montclair
When last seen Mrs. Penn wore a
black three-quarter coat, pIum-cot ored
skirt and waist and q black hat. She
carried pocletbook which contained
$25 in bills and some change.
Tt is said by the police that Mrs. Penn
has stayed away from her home several
times before, as their union, on account
of the difference in their ages, has not
been a happy one, according to thu po-
lice. Mr.. Penn has always been able
to locate his wife during these alleged
temporary absences, but this time his
search has failed of results, and he
told the police he is afraid she has met
with foul play.
They have three children, which the
father placed in home in Newark
some time ago, during the absence of
his wife.

PRINCE AN D
MARTIN THE
SLATE
No Caucus Today Because
Of Assemblyman Gibbs's
AbSsnCe=-FeW Present.

STATE HOUSE, Trenton, Dec. a.
Outside of Essex, the attendance at
the Governors Day at the State House
was very slim. From Essex there were
present County Chairman Daliymple,
Senator Colby, Assemblymen Martin,
Hines, Young, Lowrey, Braun, Roberts,
Clark, Miller, also Smalley of Somer-
set: Thompson, Mercer; Prince, Pas
sale: Senators Minch, Cumberland;
Ackerman. Union; Avis, Gloucester
Assemblymen Keffer Atlantic: Ridge
way, Salem; Cattell, Gloucester, and
Crosby, of Ocean.
As Assemblyman Gibbs of Camden,
did not put in an appearance, it is as
sumed that the date for the caucus for
the organization of the House will be
laid over until next week
Those who claim to know what is
going on insist that when the caucus
meets 1t will agree upon Prince, of
Passaic, for Speaker, and Martin, of
Essex, for leader.
The only opposition to this slate
comes from South Jersey, where 1t is
claimed that North Jersey wants to
"gobble" everything in sight. This OPP
pear before next Tuesday at which
time the date for the caucus will prob
ably be set.
The only possible change that may come
will be the naming Of Upton s. Jeffreys
to the House clerkship, instead of Captain
James Parker of Passaic.
There is also a sentiment being worked
I'D against the selection of Parker because
of his being the legislative representative
Of the Erie Railroad. and other corpora
tions.
To sum up the whole matter today's
gathering did not bring forth any new de-
velopments and MS matters now stand IL
will be Prince for Speaker, Martin for
leader and Parker for clerk.
The Senate organization will be Hillery
for President, Robbins leader and Howard
L. Tyler, of Cumberland, secretary. The
Senate officers do not seem to have any
opposition.
