THE Newberry Observer says if
the negro blind tigers of that county
cant be suppressed then our boast
ed white supremacy is a delusion and
a snare" Don't be discouraged. Ne
gro blind tigers and all other kinds
can be suppressed if they are severe
ly punished when caught. 1t won't
do to deal with them gently, but they
must be made to understand that the
violation of the law means a fifty dol
lars fine and thirty days on the chain
gang. Two doZes of this kind of
medicine will cure the most hardened
blind tiger there is in Newbcrry. Re
member the prescription calls for
both fine and chain gang without any
alternatives.

THEY are raising a big muss in
Ncwbcrry over the appointment of
a dispcnsary constable for that coun-
ty by the Governor. 1t seems that
the blind tigers are about to ovcrrun
the county. In that case a good con
stable is badly needed, and the small
amount that he will cost will be mon-
ely well spent. Blind tigers should
be made to obey the law regardless
of the cost.

scraping pinnacle of rock where a successful
stalk was out of the question.
Pretty well tired out by our arduous, climb
ing tramp, we were, as | have said, taking
short rest at the mouth of side ravine
when the big elk scenting us, perhaps, sneak
ed into close cover at its further end.
This little gulch, mere offshoot of the
Argentine, was not more than sixty feet wide
at the bottom and was bounded on both
sides by preGpitous cliffs, while over the top
OF the grove, where the elk had sought shell
ter, we could see a mass of perpendicular rock
which forbade his escape in that direction.
Thus we had our game, 1T would seem, in
a cul-de-sac, out of which he could get only
by actually running over ourselves.
The trick now was to get a glimpse of him

had caught sight of him, he would probably

twenty feet of which we reached without de-

Then we stopped in the shade of huge
boulder for consultation, and Joe whispered
that he would Ego into the thicket and try his
luck
"No, no. replied, in the same low tone;
and if the elk dashes out before get a pull
on him.. you will not be one half SO likely
to miss him as would l."
Joe quietly nodded assent, and / went in
accordingly, but found the bushes and un-
dergrowth SO extremely thick, the place SO
silent and its area so circumscribed, that, if
| had not actually seen the elk enter, should
have supposed it utterly impossible for 80

This last strip now began to search, care

its length when some peculiar looking dead
branches, dimly seen through clump of
green foliage, caught my eye. My heart
thumped violently against my ribs, for sec

they belonged.

heard snariing, growing noise-since grown
familiar enough-as of beasts of prey fighting
over their food.
We were lying less than fifteen feet from
the body of the elk. A brilliant full moon
rose high In the sky, and by it's light, as for
lew moments we remained perfectly still,
we saw a pair of mountain lions. (pumas) re-
gazing themselves upon our venison and va
rylng their enjoyment by making an occa-
slonal savage onslaught on each other.
Our loaded rifles lay. beside us, and, softly
drawing them from beneath the blankets,
of course, the creatures would fly at the first
motion
But we reckoned without our hosts-or
guests, rather-this time; for although these
ANIMALS ann are cowardly enough as rule, the
two before us. infiamed by the taste of blood
and furious at being disturbed, were not in
clned to leave their feast without vigorous
protest
On the contrary, the instant we rose to a
sitting posture, both the fierce beasts arched
like angry. cats. and then, with flaming ewes
and switching tails, crouched low, preparing
to spring upon US.

kneeling down behind patch of serubby
pines, at last saw the elk, and very curious
sight it was.
The cunning animal, seemingly quite una

with outstretched nose and legs doubled un

to thrust the. barrel of my rifle through the

moved six inches when the elk, catching the
snort of alarm and prepared to fly. Instantly

1t seems that I had been borne down,

beast. and saved from certain death only by
Joe's prompt action.

cheek was badly cut, but no bones were
broken. and in an hour or SO / was all right
again. with the exception of considerable
soreness.
We had left our blankets and simple uten-
sils at Clear Creek, half mile away, and
while Joe went to fetch them, SO as to camp
down by the game, I managed to remove part
of the skin from the headquarters Of the elk
and cut some fine steaks, on which, with the
addition Of hot bread and tea, we made
hearty meal.
After supper we properly dressed the car
cass, but instead of hanging it up in the usu-
al manner, left it lying upon the outstretch-
ed hide, intending to remove the best parts
of the meat in the morning.
For some time we sat up talking feeling
quite as much at home in the lonely gulch as
civilized folkA might do in well ordered
room
At last, putting out the. fire and spreading
our rubber poncho upon the moist earth. we
lay down side by side. and, drawing the warm
blankets over us, dropped contentedly to
sleep.
How long we had lain do not know. for

Why, then, the need of such extreme eau

We were hunters-old Joe Moore and L

VAN VLlET'S LAST GAME.

Two games much below the standard
were those played by the Honolulu

Bath games were slow and loosely

expectations of the fans the Diamond

game with the Diamonds, as he leaves
