noon when the shadows in the brush

he was returning to camp alone save
for a Senegambian gun bearer noted
for his bravery. Both were mounted
on native ponies. wiry and keen of
senses. Suddenly Williams pony be-
gan to snuffle and snort and both
stood stock still refusing to advance
into the darkness of the foliage
arched trail. Williams quickly un-
slung a double barrelled ten gauge
Parker with which he had been after
fowl. He meant to slip in buck shot
cartridge, but before he more than
had his gun across his pommel, with
a grunting below the huge form of
an old bull buffalo rushed out of the

barrels point blank. The massive
horns and frontal bones must have
shielded the beast from any injury,
save enough to infuriate it more than
ever. The next instant Williams
pony was disemboweled with a side
swipe of the bulls horns and the
rider was pitched into the brush with
q broken leg. On over the dying
Rny rushed the buffalo and his
charge drove the second pony end

rider. The two rifles he carried flew
into the brush and one fell near Will

to 1t and found 1t uninjured. but
tragedy was transpiring meanwhile,
Giving the pyor gun bearer no chance
for his life, the bull swept first one
tip of his mighty horns and then the
other into the tumble OF horse and
man and in his blind fury knelt on
them and stamped on them. This
happened in the fraction of minute
of course, and was terminated only
when Williams, mastering all his
strength, rose to his knees and began
pumping soft-nosed pellets into the
bulls flank, raking him forward into
vital parts. The murderous creature
fell on top of his victims and when
searchers attracted by Williams
cries, found them. horse, bull and.

Most Dangerous Game in Africa.

It is agreed upon all hands by ex-
psrienced hunters In Africa that the
buffalo Is one of the three most dan
gerous four-footed foes that man can
attack. Most men class this animal
with elephants and lions. as game that
requires the highest attributes Of skill
courage and caution to bring to bag.

down that more deaths and dangerous

"GRATST.\Rk"

An attraction of unusual interest will be presented at the Elks Theater Saturday afternoon and night, when fGraustark will be seen for the first time in this city. Dramatized by Geo. D. Baker from Geo. Barr McCutcheon novel of the same name, it is clean cut, clever and interesting play of love and intrigue
 and abounds with sensations and thrilling climaXes. It is a romantic drama of the higher order that ap-
 peals to all classes, pleasing the moot exacting patron of the theatre, becAse there is touch of romance yucked away in every living mortal. and one is charmed by it's sweetness and the true ring of human nature in every line and situation. So in tensely dramatic is this play that one is electrified by each climax, and the actors and actresses who portray the principal characters are given cur tain call after curtain call.
