ROOSEVELT PARTY
IS BREAKING CAMP
Report Comes From Hills
That Search for GiraffeS
Is Begun.

NAIROBI, British East Africa, May
2-From the Roosevelt expedition in the
Mau hills today came the report by a
passenger on the down train, that the
party was breaking camp this morning
preparatory to leaving the hills, where
four lions were bagged, three by The
former President and one by Kermit
Roosevelt.
1t was understood here that after the
first success at lion hunting the ex-
pedition would swing around to the
south, out Of the hills, and down to the
plains, in search of giraffe, and il Is
this move evidently which is under way
today in order TO be ready for good
shots on Monday.
Frequent lion hunts are TO follow,
whenever reports of natives justify trips
to any particular spots.
Details of the killing Of three lions by
Colonel Roosevelt and one by Kermit
yesterday are still lacking, although one
report in circulation here is TO the effect
that Of the three bagged by Colonel
Roosevelt one was a lioness and the
other two tall grown lions, and that in
one of the three shots great GOODNESS
and courage was required.
Every report reaching here agrees
that the former President displayed such
excellent hunting qualities as TO fully
justify the reputation which had spread
among the natives. and that according
ly from now on he Will have no difficulty
in getting more than the ordinary serv-
ice from heaters.
Native beaters have learned from ex-
perience that going into the Jungle to
rouse up lions is dangerous In exact pro-
portion to the inefhciency or lack Of
grit of the hunter who is their en-
ployer. If he is experienced. cool. and
quick, the beaters run little danger, so
that they become bold, and are far
more apt TO stir up game.

dressed stranger who entered the home
Of Thomas Moore and, holding the point
of a revolver at the head of his daugh-

While the father was away, the man,

the upper part of his face, rushed into

After cutting her hair he told her to
