GEO. w. MURPHY is GIVEN A SUR
PRISE,
Walter Carr, d Veteran, Walks Into
the Store Unannounced and Ex.
tends a Greeting.

Forty years ago Geo. w. Murphy
came west That was soon after the
close of the war In which he saw ac-
tive service with the Third New York
light artillery, Yesterday a stranger
IN Grand Army uniform walked Into
Mr.. Murphy's place of business at the
corner of Twenty-flfth street and Wall
avenue and extended a hand to the
proprietor without saying word, un-
til Mr. Murphy, after close scrutiny,
asked.
Are YOU Walter Carr from Utica.
New York;"
The answer brought a lachrymous
film to the eyes and then the two vet
Grams started talk on school boy
DAYS which did not end until some
hours after.
Mr. Carr. after serving in the Sec
ond New York heavy artillery and
spending most OF his war days in
Southern prisons. returned to Utica
and then moved 10 Hurley. South Da-
kota He had kept trace Of his school
mate and when 1t was announced the
encampment was 10 be held in Utah
he made up his mind to make the trip
primarily to see Mr. Murphy. He was
accompanied by c. p. Hankins, also
of Hurley, who was with the Twen-
tieth Wisconsin,
One of the most interested listen
ers to the conversation was Howard.
son Of Mr.. Murphy. When Mr.. Carr re-
lated the pranks OF the Utica boys
Of long ago. he enjoyed a heary laugh
which conveyed the Idea that secrets
were being told which his father had
kept all these years.
Mr. Carr said, You know George.
YOU were a pretty good looking hoy
and quite a favorite with the girls"
and this brought an extra hearty laugh
from the younger Murphy, while tho
fathe" seemed just little bit embar-
raSsed.

Not Employed as Preservative But
Simply to Keep Cut Meats

William Beckman and Fred BurGi
pToprietors Of the Success Meat mar
ket on Washington avenue, were inter
viewed this morning by a representa-
tive of the Standard regarding the al
legged use of "FTeezine" by Ogden
butchers Mr. Burgi said
I'VE didn't know we we're doing
anything out Of the way when we used
this 'Freezine II has been in use
as freshener of meats for years. and
we had never heard Of il being harm

SerVatlve. The meat dealers of Ogden
are not attempting to deceive the
people with any kind OF an unlawful
proposition, and ] am sure we all want
10 do the right thing in this matter"
Mr Beckman explained as follows
how so many OF the butchers have such
large amount of "free2ine' on hand:
Tile reason the butchers have so
much freezinep In their shops. in
my opinion, is that the manufacturers,
anticipating some pure food measure.
reduced the price Of the stuff. and as
a result the retail meat dealers bought
heavily. having no idea that laws
would be enacted prohibiting its use

"As far as trying to preserve de-
cayed meats Is concerned. do not
think that any butcher with any sense
at all would attempt such thing. We
meat dealers would all turn away In
disgust at piece of work OF that Kind.

no thought of harming anyone. and
what's more, We did not intend to re-

The action against the butchers who
are alleged to have sold decayed meat
and used "freezine" will be pushed
By the state authorities. and num-
Der of retail meat dealers will have
t. appear in court Monday or Tues
day morning to explain. The mini

brought By the state is $50, though it
would have been twice that amount

it up and caused the arrests.

We had shot or two at the sound,
and the beasts, whatever they were,
went away. AS at that time we knew
nothing about lions, we were not
quite sure that they were net hyenas
after all; but Abdullah stuck to it
they were lions, so we got our beds
and lay down one on each side of the
opening, just behind the fence to
watch, hoping that the brutes would
come back. Nothing further happened,

these brutes had been partly eaten;
we thought at the time by other n.y.
enas, as it was still too dark to make
out tracks. We came to the conclu-
sion we had made idiots CT ourselves,
and had been shooting all night at
hyenas, and we did not feel any the
better when our friends came back
from their night at the village and
told us we had probably frightened
every lion out of the country by our

PeriIS of the Man Eater.

My first experience in tracking lions
was early in 1892, and the night be-
fore was rather an exciting one. After
hunting elephants unsuccessfully for
about a month, we were on our way
south, when we arrived one day at
some villages where the natives had
been very much bothered by five lions
which were said to. be still in the
neighborhood. A girl had been killed
two days before, and an enormous
amount of damage had been done
among the sheep and cattle. The first
day we camped there two of our party
had shooting zerebas made at the vii
uage to which the lions generally
came, and just before sunset they
went off there.
l tied up our two donkeys just out
side the camp, on the chance that the
lions might come and look us up. Just
after dark we were having dinner in
the tent when there was a scuffle out
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-05-07

quite unable to move. All the life in
him seemed concentrated in his eyes,
which glared at us furiously. Another
shot put him out of his misery. The
first shot, a very bad one, had grazed
the spine just in front of the withers;
another quarter of an inch higher and
it would have missed altc5ol.er.
This lion was quite maneless, ex-
cept for few long hairs on each side
of the neck, and his teeth were worn
down quite short, so he was evidently
very old. He was in very good condi-
ton, Notwithstanding, but his stomach
was quite empty, which accounted for
his going SO far before lying up. We
had to stop at the main camp for the
night when we got there, and did not
follow up our camels till the next day.

length because it is good example of
MANY similar DAVIS
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-05-07

two different methods of hunting lions.
One of them could hardly be called
a method at all, as it depended on
news brought in by natives as to
where a lion had actually been seen.
The second plan consisted of tying
up donkey for bait, and sitting up
to watch at night. A much more in
teresting way of hunting lions than
either of these and a very success
ployed are any good, is this process
of tracking them. A lion lies up in
some cool, shady place for the day,
unless the sky is overcast and the
sun cannot get out, when he will &C.
casionally be found hunting at any
hour. If you can strike his spoor of
the night before there is a very good
chance of following it up to where
the lion lies, should the ground be
suitable. There is no form of hunt
ing so exciting as this. When the
spoor is found there is generally
nothing to show If you have struck
it early or late in the lions wander

whether it leads you for hours over all
sorts of country, or whether, after half
mile down OH a sandy river bed or
path, it turns off into a thick patch
of reeds or bush close by, where the
lion is lying. It is extraordinary how
the excitement grows as time goes on,
and still you keep the track some
times very slowly, where only now
and then part of footprint can be
seen on a soft place between the
stones, at other times as fast as you
can walk over soil where the track
is visible many yards ahead. And
when the spoor is lost and minute
after minute goes by while you cast
about vainly in every direction, how
wretched you are, and how quickly
your spirits rise again when a low
whistle or swapping of the fingers an
nounces that one of the crackers has
hit it off further on!
At last certain signs show that you
are getting near the end; the crackers
take Off their sandals and tuck up
their loin-cloths under their belts, lest
