Beginning of the Feud

Jour Unyoro men were hoeing one steamy May
L morning. soon after dawn. They were talking in
cultural clicks and clacks about dispute with
the tribe across the river when, without moments
warning, with a series of low, savage grunts, mag
nifcent lioness eaped from the thcket, seized the
nearest man by the leg, and tried to make off with
him. He fell over sdewise, yelling Justify. The
powerful brute shook him savagely, but obliged
to give some attention to his three comrades, who
attacked her vehemently with their iron hoes.

But what the lion must mean to savage
Africa can only be family guessed. White
hunters and cordite express rifles few, and

a confirmed man eater, as every African hunter
knows will not be deferred by trif1es like bows
and spears, once he has tasted human flesh.
Progress on the Uganda Railway was often
entirely stopped by lions, and word to that
effect was sent home to the British Govern
ment. So many plate layers and laborers were
carried off that the terrified natives struck work,
and would not resume, even for treble pay.
The monsters hunted in couples, and grew more
and more daring. The climax came when the
female picked man off an open freight car and
darted off with him into dense grove of bam-

ARE TWO LINES OF THOUGHT.
Both Intended for Civic Betterment
And Both May Fall on Account
OF Failure to Agree.

Two opposing lines of political
thought FLASHED today in the lesisia-
ture. They we're represented In two
measures. one known as the hre and
police commissioner bills and the 9TH
er as the Galveston bills.
Back of both bills Is the same de-
sire for civic betterment, but one group
of people worked out solution In the
form of the police bill, while another
developed the Galveston idea into the
definite form in which 1t passed the
senate.
