Nairobi, British East Africa, Sept
17.-Mr. Creswell, a government en-
gineer in the public works department
at Mort, came into Nairobi this after
noon and brought word that Mr.
Roosevelt had a narrow escape when
shooting his first elephant bull.
When shooting elephants it is often
necessary to creep into the herd and
shoot the selected bull at range OF
fifteen to thirty yards. Mr.. Roosevelt
accompanied by Mr.. Cunningham, the
big game hunter and guide, followed
this procedure and killed an elephant
at the second shot.
Suddenly, before Mr.. Roosevelt
could reload, another elephant bull
charged him at close range from the
herd. Both Mr.. Cunningham and Mr.
Roosevelt got behind trees, and Mr.
Cunningham fired and turned the bull
from Mr.. Roosevelt just in time.
