NO INTRODUCTION NECESSARY.

Col. Gordon Banks demonstrated
to his friends yesterday that he had
unlimited faith in the district by pur-
chasing a piece of Aultman street
real estate. The TRANSACTION involved
SO, not 81 as enormously reported
and to which the colonel had taken
considerable exception. The property
was purchased from Flank Wilson,
whose time is mostly taken up by
appearing before the different police
court magistrates on charges of petit
larceny. Both parties to the real
estate transaction thought they were
making exceptionally good bargains;
the colonel in getting a two room
house for SO and Wilson in getting
50 for a piece of paper, which was
a bill of sale for a house to which he
had no title except thai of an i'm
aginary nature. AS a result of this
transaction, the colonel is out 50 and
Wilson is in Jail awaiting his trial,
which takes place Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock before Judge Cart
wright. Wilson will need no letter
of introduction to the judge, having
met him on numerous occasions in
the past.

DISTRICT MUCH TALKED OF.

G. L. Richard, Who with MS Vic
arrived from Pioneer last evening,
in an interview stated that this dis
trict was the most talked of in the
state, he thought he would drop in
and see what was going on. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Rickard there is a
world of favorable comment made
on the camp by people whose good
opinion will mean much in the near
future. He says he expects to re-
main about a week, during which
time he will be kept busy attending
to a number of business matters.
When asked as to his lease at
Pioneer, he stated it was looking ex-
ceptionably we'll and that the ship
ment recently made to Salt Lake was
up to his highest expectations.

HAD A RECORD.

A letter was yesterday received
by Deputy Marshal Henderson to the
effect that John Higgins, who was re-
Gently found dead at the head OF
hurry canyon was formerly a resi-
dent OF Pocatello, Idaho. Accord
ing to the epistle, Higgins married
while a resident of that place; his
wife having a daughter who had a
number of admirers, among them, a
policeman to whom Higgins took a
dislike and forbade him meeting his
stepdaughter, under penalty OF be-
ing shot if he did so. The officer
paid but little attention to the threat
made by Higgins and continued to
pay the young lady attentions. The
result being hat the two men met
on the street and both drew their
guns. Higgins getting his into play
first and shot the officer in the groin
the wound proving serious but not
fatal. For this little gun play,
Higgins was sentenced to 10 years
in the p~enitentiary but was pardoned
after serving one year. Following
his release from prison he came to
this state, where he resided until
| the time of his sudden death.

he easily int1icts blows with his claws
sufficiently powerful TO completely de-
stroy the face and usually cause death.
When he is wounded he uses both
claws and teeth and falls upon man
with fury that is terrible. The pan
ther stretches himself against the tree
trunks to sharpen his claws.
venturesome Frenchman, NJ. Bour-
bowel, has written at length Of his
experiences in panther hunting. He
states that the leopards teach their
young how best to kill their prey by a
system of lessons, just as hawk
teaches its young to fly.
He says: From birth to the age of
ten months or a year, the time when
the mother abandons them, the kittens
live only upon animals that have been
captured by their mother They have
never yet made an attack themselves,
but have received valuable lessons,
having looked on at more than one
panthers of the size of dog watching
calmly and observing closely while
their mother strangled an antelope"
When the panther has reached the
age Of eight or ten years he has
reac he'd his full size and strength, and
then the hunter must approach him
most gingerly. No longer content with
catching the wild boar, he attacks
cows, horses, oxen and camels. No
creature can resist him. Unless hunt
ed he seldom attacks man beyond
the range of his leap. But within that
limit he falls upon every moving thing
indiscriminately without foresight or

examination. If a locomotive should
pass within this limit of distance l am
absolutely certain that it would be at
tackled by an old panther.
He is very dainty in regard to his
food, cares only for warm and bleed
ing flesh and refuses to touch a crea-
ture found dead. Only young, very
feeble ones do it, who lack strength
and cunning to attack big game. An
adult beast almost never eats the rem
nants of his victim. He often keeps
them, hoping they will be good next
day, but finding the meat cold, turns
away without touching It, Some
times he makes use Of these frag-
ments as a sort Of bait.
If the panther is hunting and wishes
to take a victim by surprise he crawls
like serpent. His agility and cum
ming render him formidable. After
satisfying his appetite he continues
taking life for pleasure, and it has
often been observed that he was un-
able to eat tenth part Of the do
nestle animals he killed. 1t is impos-
sible to form just idea Of the loss he
causes to the tribes whose territory
he exploits
At the sight of dead bodies he
rouses to fresher animation and ardor.
He has often been seen after having
brought down a hunter and laid open
his skull to leave him and then to re-
turn and lay open the chest Of the
body lying dead on the ground. One
Of those agile quadrupeds one day
darted in among herd of antelopes
near Lake Isolt, in Uganda, and killed
twenty-seven Of them.
The panther is naturally extremely
tenacious Of life. Those who have
most closely studied his ways and hab-
Its assure us that he does not succumb
Immediately to the wound Of a bullet
that has pierced his heart. He must
have in this respect the privilege Of
the lion. Other hunters bear witness
that many Of these animals after re-

Back to the Farm.

Washington Post: The problem of
keeping foodsturs within speaking
distance of the pocketbooks of the
American of moderate means grows
increasingly difficult, and apparently
it cannot be solved until that stern
old economic law Of supply and de-
mand is made to reduce the present
| fOodStuffs and the consumers. The
evolution of industrial and municipal
| life in the United States, as in
Europe, has been steady and con-
slant drain upon the rural districts.
The growth of American cities has
been one of the marvelS Of the age,
and to a large extent it has been u
growth at the expense OF the farms.
The lure of the city has taken the
sturdiest and most ambitious of the
country lads, and there has been no
reverse tide of immigration to keep
up the normal proportion Of foodstu1f
producers to consumers.
In addition to>this, Of the millions
ed States during the last twenty-f We
years surprisingly small percentage
have become farmers or farm laborerS.
They also have felt and been unable
to resist the lure of the city, with the
higher wages of industrial life, and
when they have drifted from the cen
geSted centers Of population it has
been mainly in railroad construction
and mining. immigration has con-
tributed an immense demand for the
products of the farm and the range
without adding perceptibly to the
supply.
TO Offset these two distinctively
urban movements Of population, both
of them abnormal, there has been
only the less than normal increase of
the agricultural population, aided by
improved methods of cultivation and
the general use of labor-saving ma
chinery, none of which has kept pace
with the increase of the food consum

THE NIMBLE
ish, fawn colored brute, with black
spots or circles inclosing a spot Of
brown. The entirely black specimens
are the Asiatic breed, and white pan
theirs are rarest Of all
With long, heavy body; short, mus
cular legs; thick, powerful necks,
sharpest of teeth and claws and thick
skulls, the African panther is a prowl
ing, leaping arsenal of natures ef.
fective weapons. Some Of his flying
leaps measure forty feet and over, and
he lands on all fours, with cleaning
teeth and barred claws, which sink
inches deep into his doomed prey. On
striking down man or beast he i'm
mediately tears open the unprotected
abdomen to feed on the liver, heart,
kidneys. etc
Mr.. Roosevelt will find the panther
especially difficult to kill for several
reasons-viz, his agility in climbing
among trees, his stealthiness in the
bush, his nocturnal habits. the rapid
ity Of his jumps, the fear Of the ma
tive gun carriers and assistants and
the smallness Of the beasts vital Or
gans, thus particularly difficult to
reach with a bullet The heart and
lungs are very small and surrounded
by thick fat, and the brain is small,
incased in hard bone; also his way of
living Is very irregular, there being no
especial kind Of place where he can
usually be found at particular times,
thus differing from many other ami
o1c i1yo oil SY1r re-
panther is q most dangerous object
when in his convulsive death throes.
Mr.. G. 2. Sanderson, an acknowl-
edged English authority, states that
the panther is a more dangerous op-
ponent than the tiger of Bengal, as he
is reused with less provocation and is
more courageous and versatile in at
lacking his disturbers. Sportsmen
look for him in rocky hills covered
with scrub or along waterways, where
the temperature is more even, and in
India often lure him within range of
guns by tying goat or a dog to a
stake or tree. The panther's fondness
for dog meat results in a dearth Of
CANNES in villages.
It is of course owing to his eye
weakness that the panther rarely
makes an attack between 8 o'clock in
the morning and o'clock at night. II
you meet him by chance within this
interval Of time, since he is not sure
of his sight, he turns tail at the slight
est sound and runs to hide in the
thickest part Of the jungle, but he sell
dom goes very far. Believing himself
well concealed, he crouches behind a
thicket, with his head on his fore
paws, in the position of cat on the
watch. Woe to you If you pass within
the range of one Of his bounds! You
will have him on your back. On foot
or on horseback you will not escape
him.

teeth only on cattle, but when he Is

sociable members of the wilderness
families, minging freely with their
kind. But the panther is not one Of
these. The marauding, terrifying. night
lurking panther that roams the section
Of Africa where Mr.. Roosevelt hunts
is 400 pounds of treacherousness and
uselessness. He is eight feet of the
most vicious qualities of the primeval
forest. He is the snarling, gashing.
clawing embodiment of all that nature
was careless in creating, for he serves
no purpose but his destructive own, a
clear violation of one of the laws Of
nature.
Limited largely to night stalking ow-
ing to the feline peculiarities of his
eyes, which are partially sightless dur
ing brighter light. the panther the
largest species of Jeopardy redoubles his
activity at night to make up for the
limitations of his work by day. The

ing urban population.

"Back to the farm gets a new
meaning in the light of the continued
increase in the price of foodstuffs.
The whole trend OF affairs points to q
higher standard of living, higher
economic and intellectual standard
for the farmer, with rewards for la
Dor that will rival the wages and sal
aries of industrial life in the cities.
When that time comes, and it is on
the way, the ''call of the country
will answer the lure of the city, and
other things being equal, supply will
tread closer upon the heels of de-
mand, and the problem Of the appe-
tite will not be SO difficult of satisfac-
tory solution by persons of moderate
means.
