Elwyn, a young man of this town, who
recently returned from New Mexico,
where he has been proving up home
stead, was the recipient of an offer OF
$4,000 to marry a Mexican's daughter.
He refused the offer, he says.
An old Mexican sheep raiser,
wealthy and eccentric, has a comely
daughter Not wishing her to become
the wife of Mexican and preferring
that she marry an English speaking
man, the father offered the money to
Elwyn if he would become his son-in-

stand open to any respectable Ameri-
can youth who wishes to accept the
old Mexicans offer.
The old mans wealth consists of
thousands of sheep and many acres of
grazing land. He did not state
whether the $4,000 would be paid in

Roosevelt Has Made
! Record in Africa.
Many New Specimens Gathered
For Benefit Of Science.


(;ondokoro. Sudan, On the Upper
Nile. Feb. 28.-Ex President Theodore
Roosevelt and the others of his imrne-
djate party sailed today on the steam
er Dial for khartum. where they ex-
pect TO arrive on March Is. With their
departure the African scientific ex-
petition under the auspices OF the
Smithsonian Institution of Washing
ton and led by the former President
of the United States. was for all practl-
cal purposes, brought to a close.
Colonel Roosevelt considers that the
killing Of the giant Glands in his re-
cent excursion along the upper reaches
of the Nile was fitting ending of
marvellously successful trip. The re-
suits generally from the viewpoint of
the hunter and the scientists have eX-
ceeded all expectations.
Col. Roosevelt and his son Kermit
have killed some 500 specimens of
large mammals. The bag includes the
following: Seventeen lions, II ele-
plants, 10 buffaloes, 10 black rhinoc-
crosses, 9 white rhinoceroses, 9 hippo
patami, graffes. 3 leopards, Z chetahs,
giant Glands 8 sables, l sitatunga
and bongos.
All these were killed in the interest
Of science and the specimens will be
disposed of accordingly. the greater
number going to the Smithsonian In
stitute. Mr.. Roosevelt will retain not
more than six trophies for himself.
From the place of Importance, the
most highly priced game may be rated
as follows: First. the giant Glands, the
first complete specimens of which
family are now being taken from the
country; second, the white rhinoceros-
es: third, the bongos, the first to be
stalked and killed by white man;
and fourth, the sitatunga. species of
antelope.
The naturalists secured remark
able collection. comprising many
thousands. of birds and other man.
mails.
Science will be enriched by several
new species and an enormous series
OF the smaller mammals of Africa. The
game taken and the collections made
constitute a worlds record for SINH
lar period OF hunting and scientific re-
search in Africa and the American
museums will receive the greatest col
lection of African fauna in existence.
All agree that too much praise can
not be accorded r. j. Cunninghame,

Colonel Roosevelt will now devote
