Why did he persist in keeping one OF his
paws under water. beating savagely with
the other. And the water turned red!
Then all at once the assaults of the
tiger became more furious, and his
growls developed into roars- The huge
tail OF a crocodile reared up out OF the
water. The obvious intention was to
pull the tiger under water and drown him,
and the tiger, understanding this pur-
pose, tried to Illustrate it by beating the
snout of the crocodile with his other paw.
But the snout was too far down, and he
left much of his force on the surface of the
water His struggles became more and
more feeble, and at length he disappeared
altogether, only cluster of bubbles re-
manning to show where he had been.
His fight, however, had been a game
one, not entirely in vain; for, when the
bodies of the two beasts finally came TO
the surface, 1t was seen that the tiger
had literally torn away the whole front
OF the crocodile S face and had blinded il
50 that its victory was useless one.

MONEY ROLLlNG IN ON
LEVEE BOARD.

Shreveport, La, Oct, 11.-What
is SAID to be the largest oil well
in the Caddo field was brought
in Friday and is flowing at a
Il emendous rate. News Of the well
was brought to the city today
and caused much talk.
1t was brought in by the Pro
ducers Oil Company on the lease
Of the Atlanta Oil Company, about
one and a half mile north Of Oil
City. The well was connected with
the tanks Sunday, and it is said
three 1900 barrel tanks were filled
in fty-five minutes. The esti-
mated flow is 10000 barrels daily.
An idea of the enormous rev
enue that the Caddo Levee Board
is receiving as royalty from COM
panies holding leases on oil and
gas land in the levee district IS
disclosed in report submitted to-
day to the board by Secretary ).
n. Kerley.
This report states that the Pro
ductrs' Oil Company alone sent
the secretary a check for $24 1872
Y as royalty on oil for the month
of September. This is royalty
from two wells. Secretary ker-
hey will send the check to the
State Auditor
During the past few months the
Lcvee has leased land to several
comHapies and individuals who
guarantee to drill wells. Two
other companies besides the Pro-
ducers' Oil C.mpany have already
drilled, but h We not submitted a
report for Ser ,ember.
Gov. Sanders has granted a
charter Incorporating the town Of
Moollngsport in the oil field.
