CARRIED OFF BY LION.
Horrible Fate Of Intrepid Hunter Who
Fell Asleep.

Near Tsavo station, 1873 miles from
Mombassa. during the construction OF
the line, 20 Indian coolies were killed
and eaten by lions, a writer on "Roose.
velt's Hunting Grounds" in the Ma
tional Magazine says. Naturally there
was a panic; the men could not work,
and three young men, Messrs. Hubner,
Parent and Ryal, took car down to
the dangerous locality to STAY the
slayers of men. The car was left on
the side track at the site of a for
mer station long since discontinued
where a few days before lion had
actually sprung upon a man on an
open railway truck as the train slowed
down at the station platform and car
ried him, vainly shrieking for help
into the jungle.
The men knew they must keep
watch against these man-eating beasts
which had lost all fear of man and
would exert their utmost subtlety and
strength to feed their consuming de
sire for human flesh. 1t was arranged
that a sentinel should be always on
guard, and Ryal held the midnight
watch, sitting, rifle in hand, where he
could command the doors and win
dows. Parent made a sleeping place
for himself on the floor, Hubner occu
pied an upper berth, and all three an
ticipated a successful hunt next morn
ing.
About two o'clock, in the murky
gloom OF the tropical night, overcome
by WEAKNESS and the enervating heat
Ryal dropped asleep. A pair of lam
bent eyes sought him out from the
half-open door, a noiseless, powerful
form crept by or over Parent as he
lay asleep, and Selling him in his
powerful jaws the man-eater of Tsavc
sprung out through the glass and sash
of the nearest window into the cover
of the jungle, where Ryars whitened
bones were found later.
This tragedy caused the assembling
of a great hunting party which swept
the country about Tsavo, and among
the lions killed was one great old lior
which had imbedded in his SCARED
and lately-healed hide several frag
ments of window glass, which un
doubtly identified him as the slayer OF
poor Ryal.

fearful squawking arose in the back
yard, where Solomon daily throws
scraps for the benefit of the cats OF
the neighborhood.
Rushing out they found Tom Grady,
the largest and handsomest tiger cat
in the district, in battle with a bird,
with other cats fleeing in all directions
from what looked to be a feathered
Johnson in action. Tom was getting
the beating of his nine lives when
Tfeffer got a large bag and threw it
over the bird.
Then, followed by a large crowd, he
ran to the station. He arrived there
so excited that he could not say any
thing to Lieut.. Connors but bird cat"
Connors was still wondering what was
wrong when the bird answered the
question by breaking out of the bag
and flying straight for his head Con.
nors sidestepped and the bird flew
into the inspectors room, where po-
licemen were playing checkers. They
dropped the checkers to chase the
bird, which made line for the third
floor, where more tired policemen
were dreaming.
Thence the chase led to the inspec.
ton room once more, policemen in all
states of dress and undress aiding in
the pursuit, which. seemingly. was to
be endless, until Hugh Montgomery,
the doorman. came to the rescue.
Hugh goes fishing a great deal in the
summer, and had small net used &c
catch minnows handy. Deity he
threw it over the bird. and in a short
time it was in an improvised cage, and
the station settled down to its normal
condition.
On examination the eagle was found
to have escaped all but minor injuries
at the hands of Tom Grady, and now

Extraordinary INCREASE IN.
FARM LANDS,
SOUTHERN ALBERTA IS A
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY"

No stronger or better evidence can
be given OF the merits of country
than that which comes from the testi-
mined to succeed. This is why we
reproduce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were in
duced to go to Western Canada
through the solicitation of Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12.15-0S.
Mr.. c. J. Broughton, Canadian Gov
eminent Agency, 1876 Adams Street,
Chicago: We had audacity enough to
tackle the proposition OF buying four
sections of land in Southern Alberta,
thirty miles east of ClairshoIm and
heading up on the Little Bow, and our
two boys each got a homestead ad-
joining. We fenced three sections and
the two homesteads, and built house,
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some of these build
lngs. We have broken 200 acres of
land, which has been sowed to oats
and wheat. During the severe winter
OF two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and our crop
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went "a bushels
to the acre. In this country we must
be prepared for storms and cold, at
times 20 to 80 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
there are exceptional crops, it is fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having a yield in average
years of from 20 to 25 bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from 20 to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite a bunch OF
horses, over so in all, about $50 sheep,
after having sold 140 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth $40 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
and a little over. Pork brings and
6 cents pound. We have about 80
mead of cattle on our ranch now,
anu last NlHltT lHcy plChtu lHSlT cH-
tire living from our pasture, running
10 the straw stacks for shelter at night.
"The increase of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us little less than
$500 an acre. We have sold one Sec
ton for $500, but we would not sell
any more for less than $500 per acre,
as we expect the railroad within four
miles of our ranch within the next Is
months. Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is a mighty good country
Tor any man or woman who outdoor
life, and who wants to get good re-
turns for their labor and investment.
I'VE have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern
ment, and can heartily commend South
ern Alberta as a splendid country in
which to locate.

The village of Baudette will be
compelled to take the matter into
the courts, if that municipality
gets reimbursed from Beltrami
county for the care of poor

the village paid out large sum of
money, part of which, the sum of
S733.42, the village attempted to
secure from Beltrami county by
application to the board of county
commissioners at the meeting
yesterday afternoon. The family
is that of John Bloomquist, who
has been the victim of peculiarly
sad reverses. Sickness in the form
of typhoid fever invaded the
Bloomquist home and every men,
Der of the family was i'll, two of
them becoming insane and being
sent to the asylum. The village
of Baudette was forced to care for
the family and much money has
been expended. Through Attor
ney C. R. Middleton of Baudette,
a claim was presented to the
county board yesterday, but
County Attorney McKusick,
though sympatthizing with the
family and being sorry that the
law would not permit his 80. king"
the bill, was forced to recommend
the rejection of the claim; although
he recommended that Attorney
Middleton appeal the case to the
district court for a final opinion.
The much-mooted report of the
state public examiner was again
presented to the board and the audi
tor was instructed to make copy of
the overcharges which the examiner
claimed and file the same with the
county attorney, the latter to take
such steps as he saw fit.
The board adopted a resolution
requiring the county auditor to give
public notice of board meeting at
least twenty days before such meet
ing is to be held; and it was also
agreed that all bills, resolutions, and
other matters for consideration of
the board should be in the hands of
the county auditor at least ten days
before any meeting, so that they
could be passed upon by the county
attorney and corrections thought
necessary could be made before
board meetings, thus doing away
with lot of needless work at meet
ings.
County Attorney McKusick was
present at the afternoon meeting of
the board and sat through the entire
session, giving his opinion on seve.
raj matters, including claims. bonds,
etc., and said that he had been busy
in court that morning or he would
have been with the board in the
forenoon.

At the forenoon session today
w. F. Cole of St. Paul, who stated
that he contemplated purchasing a
large tract of land near Solway,
appeared before the board to inquire
into the assessment and tax levy of
the Town of hammers. Mr.. Cole
stated that, in his opinion, the
assessment of that town had been
made on high basis.
The board listened to Mr.. Cole
and he was told that it was their in
tention to average the valuation as
near as possible at So an acre ex-
elusive of the improvements through
out the county, and in their opinion
they could not see why it should be
much lower. The towns of Buzzle,
Grant Valley Eckles and Jones were
taken into comparison and taxes
were found to be trihe lower in
these towns, which, in the boards
opinion could easily have been made
in these townships, on account of an
additional levy for special taxes,
township taxes, school taxes, etc.
A petition by w. L. Bogstad for
appropriation of road money for a
road running south from Baudette,
was laid on the table, for the reason
that tie road and bridge fund is
overdrawn and the board did not
care to make any further appropri-
alton this year on that road.
