ROOSEVELT'S GAME
AWAITS SLAUGHTER
Strict Laws Have Kept Rho
desia Stocked With Big
Beasts.

LONDON, June 27.-When Mr.. Roose-
welt goes to Africa next year. he Will
had more exciting sport than the hunt
ig of grizzlies and mountain lions in
the Rocky Mountains.
Rhodesia, the British African territory
NORTH Of the TransvaCl. is the finest big
game country in the wV.-d, thanks to
strict game laws and the restriction Of
hunting to the holders of expensive
licenses. This protection of wild beasts
has X suited in an inconvenient increase
in their number and daring-so much
so that the authorities have been obllg-
ed in some cases to relax the regula-
lions.
In one district. where wild elephants
have been terrorizing the population and
destroying the crops to an intolerable
extent, the unrestricted destruction Of
elephants has been permitted.
There has been consequently a boom
in big-game shooting, in which some ex-
citing adventures have occurred. The
following story of what happened to
three Dutchmen who went elephant
hunting is sent home by an English mis-
sionary. the Rev. w. T. Grantham:
''Cne morning they came on a troop
OF seven elephants and killed one bull
They followed on the spoor Cracks Of
others, and in the afternoon came up
with them about seven miles east Of
my station. BY this time the other ele-
pnAnts had Joined up, and they num-
bered about eighteen. The hunters fired
and bull dropped.
The remaining elephants spread
themselves out and completely sur
rounded the men on a small ant heap.
To run was impossible, so they sat
tight, kept their nerve and shot straight,
with the result that IN two minutes they
killed four elephants within a radius of
from twenty to fifty yards. The others
then pIade of, FIVE having been killed
and ell OF them tuskers. I went out TO
the scene of the fray and an interesting
sight Il was. Hundreds OF natives, male
and female, had congregated there. and
by noon next day dozens of fires were
drying tons Of flesh"
