be arranged.
AS we say, this scheme is entjreIv
impracticable.: In the first place all
the ons that Mr.. Selous, the EneIisb
hunter. had driven to the scene Of
RWana Tunbo'S first hunts were killed
all those that had not died of terror
and eXhaustion-and we have heard
of no additions to the bag since hen
excepting b~uffaloes, small deer and
other semi-domestic animals. In the
next place, supposing the guides ana
their two hundred native heaters
should find another lion and chase If
up to h muzzle Of the rifle, the con-
queror will, of course, murder it and
send home the skin. Our friends
ambition is worthy, and the fact thar

pense of capturing his beast testfes
sufficiently to his sincerity; but the
thing cannot possibly be if
for no other reason than because
Bwana Jumbo is far too shrewd to
fetch home one Of his lions for crit
cal inspection.
We are quite familiar with the
mountain rabbit of which our North
friend tells us. 1t is a brute
of unusual size and extraordinary
fury when aroused. 1t is quite as
large as the Kansas jackrabbit. much
faster uphill, and provided with claws
of extra length in it's hind or fighting
feet. Moreover, it frequents the
pybonshine stills, drinks heavily at
times, and in that condition displays
a reckless courage animated by a.
malignant and morOse temper which
alarms whole neighbOrhOOds and
unarmed men seek cover. Mr..
Ernest Seton Thompson tells in one
of his stories how a rabbit tackled a.
rattlesnake in a fair fight and tore
it to ribbons. He made the inspira-
ton a matter Of maternal anxiety. We
know better. RattleSnakes are easy
for big hill rabbits-aS easy as
for razorback hogs-and there is no
occasion for assigning sentimental
The fact is that when an upland
North Carolina rabbit fills up on Illicit
liquor and then gets out upon d road
log and drum with one Of his
hind legs, nothing brute or human,
maybe some stupid thing like
a snake, will care to pass that way.
We recommend to our correspond

against a bear Or a wolf, though we
little hope that either can be
brought to the scratch.

before Terens filed a petition in bank

tackled by individual creditors, Refree
in Bankruptcy 7. II. Denison, Of She.

Terens, a mouth previous to filing "A
petition in bankruptcy took over the
business of Terens * Oswald, assuming
the debts of the firm and when the peti-
tion in bankruptcy was filed creditors
whose claims were against Terens az an
individual attacked the legality Of the
dissolution of partnership on the grounds
that it was n violation of the law which
prohibits bankrupt from disposing of
his property or assets within -four
months of filing bankruptcy petition,
demanding that claims against Terens
from the partnership should be paid from
the assests represented by the business,
and individual creditors should be given
the personal assests of the bankrupt.
Under the decision all assests will be
joined and creditors will share equally
and will receive between 80 and 40 cents
on the dollar, it is said.
1t is probable an appeal will be taken
to the Federal Court.

FIRE CHIEF CENSURED.

Holding that he was negligent in duty
when he failed TO respond to the alarms
for the recent Pilger fire and again
when he delayed the repairs to the po-
lice alarm system, the Fire and Police
Commission at meeting Saturday night
censured Fire Chief Kratz in both cases
The commission declined to suspend the
chief, however, after discussion of this
for some time. Chief Kratz appeared
before the Commission and offered de-
fense to both complaints, declaring that
the neglect in repairing the police sys-
tenn was due to delay in getting certain
materials for the work To the Pilger
fire charge the chief offered the same
excuse as given in the council, that in
his Judgment he thought the run need.
less and the department. could have done
nothing to control the fire. The Com
mission was in session for two hours
and there is said to have been serious
consideration of the complaints lodged,
but the Commission deemed suspension
unwarranted. The action of the Com
mission in voting censure will probably
impress Chief Kratz with the necessity
for paying heed to the duties Of his po
sition Manitowoc Herald.
