Three lions were killed near Pist-

donkey team, when his kaAir Eey
came running to tell him that thTes
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 don
keys. He fired and killed a big
lioness. The other two jumped up
but he was ready and shot another
(younger) lioness. The young lion
which was left ran behind some
brushwood. Erasmus first collected
his donkeys and brought them intS
safety and then once more carefully
approached the scene of the fight.
In order to find out il the two lion
Szsss were dead he fred another shot
af 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

time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no,
