After resting day in camp we started for
the hunting ground with Thompson and had
gone only couple of miles when we came to
some fresh elk tracks, which followed eau
tiously for some time until we could see far
below us in a park Ga small clearing with long
grass on which elk are fond of feeding), small
band of elk. three bulls and six COWS. Getting
within range noiselessly was no easy matter ow-
ing to the dry condition of the forests but after
an exciting crawl on hands and knees, we found
ourselves within about hundred yards and I'M
seen by the elk. ! picked my bull and took a
shot for the near shoulder, while my guide shot
the next largest; both bulls dropped, but mine
was up an off again Immediately, following in the
rear of the herd best he could with broken
shoulder and bullet in his lungs. He going
slowly and easy to follow and another shot some
800 yards further on in very dense timber, ended
his rowing career. The remainder of that day
was spent in skinning and cutting up the meat
and hanging it high above the ground, out of
reach of providing animals at night. For dinner
that evening had elks liver and steak and
quite celebration over our early success. Pack
ing the meat, hides and heads back to camp
sumed the next day and kept the three of
busy.

 Baton Rouge. La. Oct. 4.-As a re- suit of the spread of the epidemic of charbon from Southwest Louisiana to parishes in the central portion of the State pr. W. H. Dalrymple, Of the Louisiana Experiment Station has is- sued directions for avoiding the dis. ease.
 He takes note of the human lives that have been lost as g result of the disease and of the large amount of cattle that has been destroyed and states that much of this is due to cat- tie raisers skinning animals which have died from charbon.
 Dr. Dalrymple's circular says:
 "The slkinning of charbonous car- casses is to be deprecated and should be strictly prohibited by law. as such a practice Is not only dangerous to the operator, but the hides are a fruitful means of spreading anthrax through the infected blood they contain. and which the tanning process does not rem. der innocuous. Almost every year there are records of deaths among ems ployes of tanneries throughout the country resulting from inocculation while handling such hides"

lock was introduced by the defense. The competency of his evidence was challenged by the attorneys for the contestant on the ground that his tes- timony consisted in a statement made to him by the testator concerning his intentions as to the beneficiary of his will. Spurlock stated that venable had been fin i'll health for more than . year. His evidence indicated that the man had intended for some time to draw up his will.
 In view of his business dealings with venable and the consequent op- portunity of familiarity with his hand writing. T. B. Thompson of the whole sale grocery firm of Belser 6 Thomp- son. was introduced as a witness. While admitting that the testator used several ways in signing his name,, the witness did not remember having seen the name signed as 1t was on the will. with the initials and the V of his surname disconnected. lie could not distinguish any difference be- tween the writing on the will and that of the testator, with which he was familiar.
 W. A. Jordan, a local attorney, who was the administrator of the Venable estate, declared that the key to the store was in his possession all the time after the change of administra- tors. and that no one entered the store. according to the best of his knowledge. except under his surveillance. He de- scribed the discovery of the will while he and s. L. Venable were examining the books and accounts of the dead man. The witness testified that $. L. venable exclaimed, T thought so." as he produced the will. He testified that he did not know where the will was located before the legatee produced it..

 Throughout Week.
QUESTION ABOUT SIGNATURE

Interesting developments are antici- pated during the trial of the case fn- volving a contest over a will purport- ing to have been signed by Walter R. venable. which began in the Probate Court yesterday afternoon.
 Lee s. venable, brother of the dead man. mas instituted the suit against his half-brother, Samuel Lamar ven- abIe, legatee under the will, to have the provisions of the instrument set aside by the court.
 Among other things. counsel for the complainant stated that 1t was ex- pected to be proved that the will was signed by some one after Venable's death.
 According to the will, the entire estate of Walter R. Venable, involving approximately $4o,oo0. is beaueathed to s. L. venable. It is dated July g. 1908, and attested by J. B. Lewis, J. s. Childs and T. T. Trentham.
 W, R. venable conducted a grocery store at e17 North Court Street. until the time of his death. He was shot to death by an unknown negro March IT of this year.
 The will was written on a sheet of yenable's business stationery.
 The contestant alleges that the will was not signed by W. R. Venable, and that it Is invalid because IL was not duly attested by two witnesses.
 Five witnesses were examined, in- ciuding two of the attestors of the will. An unusually large number will be examined before the completion of the trial.
 J. B. Lewis, an employe of the West ern of Alabama Railroad. was the first witness in the stapd. His name as an attestor appears on the will. Lewis said that he had been acquainted with venable for i've years, that on July 3, when he heard of his friends illness, he went to Trentham's home. and. &C., companied by Trentham and Chiids. went to venable's store. He stated that it was near midnight when the three friends of venable were in the store. He told how Venable com plained of his breaking health. men, tioned the necessity of making his will, and. upon the consent of the three wis., ftors to attest 1t, wrote and signed the will.
 J. s. ChiIds, a former employe of T. T. Trentham, who conducts gro- cery store near the venable place, was the second witness. Both Childs and Treatham were witnesses to the sign ing of the will. Child's story coin7 cided with that of Lewis.
