LAW SUITS

The Blanca people have decided
to bring suit against the San Luis
Valley Land company, the West
ern Lands and Irrigation company
and the Trinchera Canal company.
These companies interests are SO
fused that they will all be made
defendants.
The first procedure is to ask for
an injunction restraining the above
companies from collecting the de-
ferred maintenance fees. The
second count is restraining the
companies from selling water to
land not in the allotment until il
is demonstrated that they have
water sufficient to irrigate the land
that has been promised water.
The third count is to demand a
new water contract, AS the one
sent out by the company to the
contract holders does not seem to
the association to be fair to the
holder. Blanca News.

months old at the time of his masters
arrival at Bona on the Welle, took of
his OWL accord to sport and proved
invaluable at the work, fearing moth
ing and not hesitating to attack and
hold even buffaloes. Dark Patch suf-
fered but little from the heat, while
his thick coat effectually protected
him from the attacks of mosquitoes.
During the 1907 trip Mr.. Calmeyn
fred at 13 elephants, of which nine
were killed, two of them being fe
males. One of the latter was fired
at solely because it charged. These
elephants were killed with an average
of three balls each, and at a mean
distance of about 40 yards. In 1908
eight out of thirteen elephants fired
at were bagged, all being males, with
tusks weighing on an average AT
pounds. The average number of shots
fred at each elephant was nearly two,
and the mean distance about 12
yards. This distance is, however, too
short to be safe, from 20 to 25 yards
being a more desirable average. The
season when the natives burn the
grass is the one most favorable in the
Welle district, when the elephants
come out into the open glades of the
forest both before and after the great
heat of the day; but hunting is not
forbidden to Europeans at this sea-
son.
Our sportsman's first introduction
70 elephants took place in February.
1907. in the Egyptian Sudan, when,
after a rapid march under native lead
ership. five or six of the monsters
were sighted at distance of about
900 Yards. After vainly trying to
get a satisfactory shot at them, the
party sighted a herd of so elephants
of all sizes, from among which a fine
hull separated himself and eventually
offered a shot at about 25 yards. Aim
ing between the eyes and the oriflce
of the ear, Mr.. Calmeyn fired five
shots in succession, after the last of
which the huge beast came slowly but
steadily out of the marsh in his direc-
fion. although without seeing him.
Stopping at the spot from which 1t
had first been fired at, the elephant,
after a fifth and sixth bullet, finally
succumbed The short, thick tusks
of the animal weighed respectively
55 and 51h pounds.

GUST SC0TTY'S RIVAL
Directors Disapprove Man Who
Burned His Money.
Henry c. Ostermann's Threat to Show
Paris How to Spend Coin Loses
Him the Presidency of
Company.

Chicago.-At the height of a spec
tacular career as a spendthrift, in
which he threatened to eclipse Scot
ty'' of Death Valley. Henry c. Oster-
mann, founder and former president
OF the Ostermann Manufacturing Com
pany of West Pullman recently sew
cred his connection with the concern.
After dazzling Nalla Walla, Wash.
Detroit. Mich. Chicago and other
cities with his prodigality he said re-
Gently he would go to Paris to teach
Parisians how to spend money.
Ostermann, it was said noeonly re-
linquished the presidency OF the COM
pany, but sold all his stock and with
drew from the business. In financial
circles it was said the directors told
him his pleasure jaunts had brought
unpleasant notoriety to the company,
and he must either buy all out other
stockholders or sell his own holdings.
The man who had burned $50 bills
to see what color the flame would be
and gave cafe scrubwoman $50 to
ascertain what she would do with it,
was told, it is said that he had worn
out his welcome in the company's of
fees. He is reported to have received
S25O,OOO for his stock.
Efforts were made in the office Of
the company to keep his retirement
from becoming public. That Oster'
mann had given up the presidency
was admitted, but no details of the
change We're told.
At the Ostermann home, 6534 Monroe
avenue, a relative of the former manu-.
facturcr said it was true that Oster.
mann had severed his connection with
the company, but declared none of the
family had anything to say about it
Ostermann was not at home and could
not be located.
Not many years ago, Ostermann
was poor and employed as a railroad
engineer. He invented a coupler and
organized company to manufacture
it. Within a few years he was
wealthy.
He gained reputation in Chicago
for his lavish entertainments. but 1t

was not until he went on western
money to the winds.
He went to Walla Walla and attract.
ed national attention by his ex-
travagance. He spent $4,000 in four
days for tips, it was said. He al
lowed no one accompanying him to
buy a drink, paid band 500 whenever
it played; tore a s100 bill and gave
the band leader one half with prom
ise to give him the other half when
he finished playing and then threw s5
bills at newsboys in the streets.
Early in December he went to De-
troit, and repeated his performances
there. 1t was said he ordered cham
pagne for everybody" spurned
change for $50 at the bar; pinned 500
on bellboy's coattail; stuffed 500
bills in the pockets of an old man in
the barroom, and calmly burned two
500 bills.
When he announced that he intend
ed to go to Paris to stir things up
he said:
They tell me they're pretty spry in
Paris, but they'll have to go some to
| hold me down. Let me get few
| friends and there'll be something do
ing from Montmartre to the Place
| Vendome" AS he spoke he gave a
waiter $40 tip for serving wine.
Henry C. Dolph of the Ostermann
company did not deny that Ostermann
virtually had been asked to resign.
"Ostermann may have gone out and
had good tines he said, but 1t is
hard to believe he was so reckless as
has been said. The publicity he has
brought upon himself has injured the
company's business and is bound tc
affect his credit and that of the com
| pany."

n periences during a couple of
short hunting trips to the
Upper Nile valley and the
n Welle and adjacent basins
are taken from the journal
or Belgian sportsman, Mr.. Maurice
Calmeyn. to whom l was indebted for
the loan of the original French MS.
Starting in January, 1907, Mr. Cal
meyn first ascended the Nile TO the
Egyptian Sudan whence he Travelled
to the Lado Enc'ave and the Welle
and Stimbiri basins, returning by way
of the Bona in August. On the sec
ond trip he landed at Bona on April
Q, 1908 and having again traversed
the basins of TIE Welle and Stimbiri,
as well as that of the Likati, returned
early in December. In both trips the
Welle basin yielded nearly all the
more interesting game. On the Likad
our sportsman sought persistently for
the okapi, but. unfortunately, in vain;
and, like his predecessors, came to the
conclusion that for European the
quest is practically hopeless. He
states, however, that the natives have
no difficulty in capturing calves, and
speculates on the practicability Of
bringing live speciment to Europe.
Travelling in this comparatively lit
tle-known country is described as not
being very difficult, while the number
of elephants to be met with render the
district attractive to the sportsman.
Still, there is a certain risk of serious
illness from the combined effects of
climate, fatigue and bad food. al
though Mr. Calmeyn bimself expert
enced no ill-effects from the trips Ele-
phant shooting is the sport which ap-
pealed most strongly to this traveller,
who experienced several exciting ad-
ventures, and at least one narrow es-
cape. Throughout his hunting Mr.
Calmeyn relied solely upon his own
rifle, and armed none OF the natives
by whom he was accompanied Dur
ing his second trip the author of the
narrative was accompanied by an Eng
