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 10 elephants, of which nine
were killed, two Of them being fe-
males. One Of the latter was fired
at solely because 1t 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 fred
at were bagged, all being males, with
tusks weighing on an average Al
pounds. The average number of shots
fred at each elephant was nearly two,
and the mean distance about IL
yards. This distance is. however, too
short to be safe, from 20 to rs 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
to 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
we're sighted at distance of about
200 yards. After vainly trying to
get a satisfactory shot at them, the
party sighted herd of so elephants
of all sizes, from among which fine
bull separated himself and eventually
offered a shot at about rs yards. Aim
ing between the eyes and the orifice
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-
ton, although without seeing him.
Stopping at the spot from which II
had first been fired at. the elephant,
after a fifth and sixth bullet, finally
succumbed. The short, thick tusks

FIGHT FOR FORTUNE
New England Stirred by Ranch
mans Claim to Estate.
Daniel Blake Russell OF North Dako'a
Says He 10 Son and Heir to
state Senator'S $1,000, 900
Property.

Boston. Mass.-All New England
was excited over the remarkable case
In East Cambridge court, where Dan
lei Blake Russell, a western ranch
man, sought to establish his identity
as the long-missing son of former
State Senator Daniel B. Russell OF
Melrose, and heir to half the Sl,OOo'-
900 fortune the senator left to VIII
liam c. Russell, who, the claimant
says, is his younger brother
There is a great difference of opin'
ion as to the merits Of the case, some
insisting that Russell is an impostor,
trying to obtain a share of the big
estate, while others declare that he
is really the son of the late Senator
Russell, and that his brother dare not
defend his suit in court.
The trial developed new and inter-
esting features at every hearing
The big ranchman from Dickinson,
N. d., was identified by an old sweet
heart, Hattie May Keith, and bashfully
admitted his boyhood liking for her,
to the evident glee of his wife, who
was an interested listener and engaged
her husbands old flame in animated
and long conversation during part Of
the day.
Lawyer Mason spent considerable
time questioning Russell as to how
many weddings he had attended as
groomsman prior to leaving the town
Of his birth. Every detail of his boy
hood in Melrose was gone into, and
the plaintiff was always ready with
answers, sometimes so ready and so
voluminous in detail as to confuse his
questioners
A sensational episode occurred in
court when Russell faced Mrs Rous-
seau and three grown children from
Messina, N. Y, who claimed him as
their long-lost son and brother. The
ranchman was telling the attorney for
William c. Russell, who, although
fighting the suit, remained out of the
state, how his boyhood home looked,
when the Rousseaus came into the
courtroom. Lawyer Mason paused

The author concludes his narrative
by referring to May %, 1908. when he
was on the river Api, a tributary to
the middle section of the Welle, where
he had killed his sixth elephant and
first buffalo. The fresh tracks of
buffaloes were encountered early in
the morning, and by following these

which the best bull offered a mark

Passing on to April "a, we find the
narrator, then on the Upper Welle,
photographing magnificent bull ele-
plant as it stands In clearing, the
hunting season not commencing till
May Is, although no notice of this has
been taken-whi in Lado. Soon after
the bull is joined by a COW, when the
pair make striking picture. Tempta-
ton eventually proves, however, too
strong. and the bull is brought down
at the third shot. Soon after crack
ing sound is heard in the jungle, and
the COW Is seen charging in the direc-
ton Of the party as If to avenge the
death o. her lord; and. despite his
resolution not to fire again at fe-
male, Mr.. Calmeyn pulls the trigger,
but misses his aim The escape from
the charge of this infnriated COW was
lucky one; and the narrator takes
the opportunity of pointing out that
a sportsman ought never to fee from

seen, heard or winded.
The narrator next proceeds to relate
his experiences on the Middle Welle

periences during couple of
short hunting trips to the
Upper Nile valley and the
= Welle and adjacent basins
are taken from the journal
OF Belgian sportsman, Mr. Maurice
Calmeyn, to whom was indebted for
the loan Of the original French MS.
Starting in January. 1907, Mr.. Cal
meyn first assembled 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
8, 1908, and having again traversed
the basins of the Welle and Stimbiri,
as we'll as that of the Likati, returned
early in December In both trips the
Welle basin yielded nearly all the
more interesting game. On the Likati
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 flood, al
though Mr.. Calmeyn himself expert
enced no ill-effects from the trips. Ele-
plant 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
lish rough-haired fox terrier, Dark
Patch, which although only ten
