ROOSEVELT BAGS
COVETED GAME
THREE LIONS ARE KILLED
WITH ONE SHOT EACH
All Africa Delighted over Famed
Rooseveltian Luck, Which Fol-
lows Hunter Even Into
JungIe's Heart
IBy Associated Press.l

NAIROBI, British East Africa, May
-Four lions are trophies of former
President Roosevelt's camp in the Maui
hills tonight, and the 200 or more ma.
tive followers are rejoicing with the
American party in the celebration of
the unusually good luck.
The lions were bagged yesterday, and
Colonel Roosevelt's mighty gun brought
three of them to- earth, each on the first
shot. Thus one of the presidents fond
est ambitions has been realized, and he
is proud, too, that the fourth of the
jungle kings fell before the rifle of his
son, Kermit, who, however, took three
shots to kill his quarry.
Both father and son are jubilant It
was their first lion hunt, and so mag
nificent a kill was far beyond their ex-
pectations; but lions have been plen-
tiful in the hills for the last month, and
the English hunter, W. w. Selous, has
been out for several days laying plans
for their extinction. How well he sue
ceeded can be seen from the results of
yesterdays chase.
Mr.. Selous accompanied the former
president, who also was attended by
the usual retinue of beaters. Usually
the heaters go into the jur"le with con-
siderable trepidation, but as Colonel
Roosevelt's reputation as a hunter had
reached here long before he arrived in
person, the heaters on this occasion
were exceptionally enthusiastic. They
seemed even eager to play a part in
the first hunt of the distinguished
American.
Proceed Cautiously
The caravan started east Thursday
morning from the ranch of Sir Alfred
Pease on the Athi river and proceeded
slowly to the Mau hills. This range is
open for wide areas, but in places is
covered with dense growths, where
game is plentiful.
The first night in camp was without
especial incident, no attempt being
made to go after lions. although their
call was heard now and then during
the night but at dawn the camp was
astir and the drive speedily organized.
The native beaters set out in all di-
rections under the instruction of the
head man." armed with all sorts Of
noise-making devices, which could but
arouse any game within earshot.
Some of the beats proved blanks, but
by nightfall no less than ten kinds of
game had been bagged. Kermit dur
ing the greater part of the day did
more effective work with his camera
than with his gun, allowing Mr. Roose-
welt the much-prized success of this.
Details of the actual shooting were
not brought down to Nairobi today
from the camp, but it was declared
that in each case a single bullet from
Mr.. Roosevelt's rifle sufficed to bring
down his lion.
Colonel Roosevelt is living up to the

TIGERS FAMED IN
 GREAT FASHION
THIRSTY CUSTOMERS THINK THE PRICE TOO HIGH, TIE THE TIGER AND coNFIScATE WET GOODS. NEWS OF SOUTHLAND.

Courtland, April 23.-(Special.) )-Court- land has been a dry town practically, for the past ten years, but once in awhile a member of the blind tiger family will in wade the quiet village. The city authori- ties have become so watchful that this class of lawbreakers have established their seat of business about half mile outside of the town, down in what is known as Big Nance bottom. Last night two of the gentlemen, claiming that they were from the Rocky Mountains, came Ill with 20-gallon keg of white corn and an equal amount of apple brandy. It did not take long for the colored population to get the word that there was a good thing on tap and they focked to the scene Of festivities in large hores. When the crowd had assembled, they concluded that the price asked for the liquid refresh- 1nents was little high, and in order 10 make it within the reach of all, four or the largest and strongest members grabbed the dispensers and held them while the balance of the supposed custo- mers appropriated to themselves the en- tire stock in trade. Securely fastening the now tame tigers, they were left in the woods to get away the best they could.
 The gentlemen from the Rocky Moun- tains made no complaint, but the tale was too good to be kept and 1t leaked out to- day.
 S Moore the oldest merchant of the town, has let a contract for the erection of a modern ten-room dwelling, to cost in the neighborhood of $7500. Transure & Abshire, builders, of Decatur, have the contract.
 The Bank of Courtland, new corpora ton, has opened business here with n capital of $15,000. The officers are all home people and this bank bids fair to do a nice business

Relative to Raids on Tigers.

The right of the police to raid places where liquors are supposed to be kept is regarded by the local authorities to be matter of great importance, and every effort is being made to find out how far the minions of the law can go. At meeting of the police commission Mayor Teague presented a resolution which calls upon the city attorney to give an opinion on the rights to raid places where liquors are known to be kept.
 It Is also urged that an opinion be given as to whether or not a recent decision of the supreme court relative to private houses affects the right of the department to investigate the stock of any near-beer or other stand when such place of busi- ness is conducted fin some place other than a private residence. It is hoped that there may be found a way by which the officers can make raids to get at Violators of the law
