A YOUNG LION SLAYER.
BOer Farmer Boys Make Good Shots
On the African Veldt.

Three lions were killed near Piet-
ersburg. Transvaal by the nineteen
year-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a
Boer farmer. 1t appears that young
Erasmus was on his way to the Mes
sina mine and had outspanned his
donkey team, when his kathr 10Y
came running to tell him that three
lions were tackling the donkeys.
Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard
in the direction indicated. On his
arrival at the spot he found the
lions lying around one of the dom
KEYS. He fired and killed a big
lioness. The other two jumped up
but he was ready and shot another
(younger) Honess. The young lien
which was left ran behind some
brushwood. Erasmus first collected
his donkeyg and brought them into
safety and then once more carefully
saszsSaShed the scene Of the fight.
Erofder to find out if the two lion
sxses were dead he fired another shot
at one Of them. This disturbed the
surviving lion who thereupon came
forth roaring. Erasmus was again
ready and shot him dead on the spot
Asked by the Volkesstem correspond
ent whether he was alone at the
time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no
Oom,' l had my little Kafir boy
with me.'-The skins were sold IL
