FIGHT WITH MADDENED BEAST
American Tells of Encounter with
Infuriated Elephant.

New York, Oct. 25.-Mr. Car
Akeley, an American naturalist ane
explorer, who is making a brief hal
in London before returning to Ameri
ca after two years in Africa "aftel
elephants,'' on behalf of the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History, New
York, vary nearly lost his life in his
quest of specimens, says a Londo1
dispatch to the New York Herald.
1t is, indeed, surprising that he ii
now alive to tell the tale of how {
wild elephant attacked him. ant
knocked him down, attempted to gore
him and finally left him for dead.
"I set out with a few native boys
to discover, if possible, the altitude
to which elephants co." says Mr.
Akeley. eve went to the top o.
Mount Kenya, about 1900 feet
found herd and followed it quiet
ly for two days. They led us round
the mountain until we lost sight o1
them in a bamboo forest. Suddenly
without warning, we heard some
thing coming on us. Before I could
seize a gun a great bull elephant
dashed through the bamboos straight
at me and struck me with its trunk
s'I was falling face downward, bu1
luckily, as fell, I had sufficient pres
ence of mind to twist my body in the
air and grab the lowering tusks ii
my hands. I went down flat on my
back, but 1 managed to do the one
thing needful to prevent the anima
goring mel forced my body be-
tween it's tusks.
81 remember seeing the little an
cry eyes and hearing him making
noise between~a hiss and a grunt al
his tusks ground into the earth and
his head came upon my chest, bu,
that is all I do remember.
-Four and half hours afterward
50 was told, I regained conscious
ness. The elephant had left me fol
dead; so had my boys, for it is
against their religion to touch a dead
body. But 1 heard them chattering
a little distance away, and shouted
to them. Very astonished, they came
to me and sent off runners for help
I was almost done for, but not quite
and they rugged up stretcher fol
me and carried me back to camp

Twenty.FOur Hours to Leavae.

Columbia, Oct. S.-Securing his
parole from the governor of South
Carolina and having the seal of the
State stamped on the paper showing
him to be free, Joseph Beckwith, one
of the most noted pickpockets in the
country, left the penitentiary Thurs
day afternoon. He was required by
the governor to leave the State within
"a hours after securing his release.
Chief Cathcart, of the Columbia po-
lice, detailed several men to watch
Beckwith and see that he left the
city.
Joseph Beckwith is well known to
the police throughout the country.
He is sometimes known as RED
Mike" and when arrested here claim
ed Chicago as his home. For the
past four years he has languished be-
hind the walls of the State peniten-
tiary hoping for freedom, and it came
by the act of the governor.
During the fair of 1906 there were
a number of robberies reported to the
police. A watch was S t with the re-
suit that Beckwith and his two
"pals," J. W. Parker and man by
the name of Schultz, were arrested
at the State fair grounds while in
the act of relieving a visitor of his
money. Schultz and Beckwith were
convicted in the Richland county
court and sentenced to 10 years each
in the State penitentiary.
Just before the trial a man giving
his name as Miller and claiming to be
an attorney came to Columbia to rep
resent the men. One day he was rid
ing on car with W. C. Cathcart, the
present chief of police of Columbia.
He handed Mr.. Cathcart package of
chewing gum. Opening the package
little verse entitled Forget It" ap-
peared before the eyes of the officer.
The man Miller then handed Mr..
Cathcart 5000 in money and told him
to forget what he knew about the
robberies Miller was arrested. He
gave bond of $1,000 and left the
State. Parker also gave cash bond
of $1,500 and left the State.

SHOOTS WHOLE FAMILY.
Desperate Deed of Enraged Railway
Conductor.

Parkersburg, W. Va, Oct. 29.-
Carol L. James, a railroad conduc-
tor of this city, shot and killed MS
father-in-law, William Pritchard;
probably fatally wounded his moth
er-in-law; slightly injured his wife,
and committed suicide to-day, at
Pennsboro, w. Va.
James broke into the Pritchard
home and caught his victims while
they slept. He made no effort to
harm his 'four-year-old daughter,
who occupied the bed with her moth
er and grandmother.
Beginning of Trouble.
The tragedy follows series OF
sensational occurrences here, about
six weeks ago, when James shot Sey-
mour Kuhn, of Fairmont, w. Va, a
fellow railroader, whom he alleged
that he had found with his wife at
the James home. Kuhn's injury was
slight. James brought suit for di-
vorce and Mrs. James brought a
counter suit.
During the taking of dispositions in
the suits last Monday, Mrs. James
gave evidence which resulted in the
arrest, two days later, of her hus-
band and George Mitter, of Grafton,
w. Va, an express messenger, on
the charge of conspiracy to defraud
the United States Express Company.
Threatened ''Tribe," Alleged.
James was to have received pre-
liminary hearing next Tuesday on
the conspiracy charge. It is said that
he worried greatly over the matter
and was embittered against his wife
and her family. It is alleged that
he threatened that he would "kill
the whole Pritchard tribe" and the
shooting to-day was an apparent ef-
fort to fulfill his threat.
James quietly forced his way into
the Pritchard house, at Pennsboro, at
2 o'clock; going ITO the second floor
he entered the room occupied by his
wife, young daughter and his moth
er-in-law. Without word he be-
gan firing.
Both Women Struck.
The shots were directed at the
two women. One bullet struck Mrs
| Pritchard in the arm and another
hit Mrs. James in the hip.
James then stepped into the next
bed room and saw his father-in-laW
rising from his bed. He fired dl'
rectly into Mr.. Prichard's face
The ball passing through the mouth
killing him instantly. Returning tt
the other room, James found hi
wife gone, but his mother-in-law was
still there. Twice more he shot her
the bullets lodging in her left foo,
and right arm.
James then went in pursuit of his
wife. An open rear door indicated
the direction in which she went anC
he came upon her short distance
from the house. He had two pis
tolls and pulled the triggers of eacl
in an attempted to kill her.
Chokes and Kicks Wife.
The cylinders were empty. Plac
ing the revolvers in his pocket, h'
caught her by the throat and choket
her. AS the woman sank to tn
ground, with her young child hold
ing to her skirts crying, James bea
and kicked her and fed only at tn
approach of a neighbor, who heart
the child's cries.
James ran back to the Pritchar(
home. There he reloaded one of tn
| reVOlVerS and killed himself.

Spartanburg Railway Official and

Spartanburg Railway Official and
Motorman Hurt in Row.
Spartanburg, Oct. 27.-While re-
turning from the fair grounds al
about o'clock this morning, B. A.
Buckheister, superintendent of the
sSpartanburg Street Railway Com
!: pany, was assaulted, and Motorman
Perry Burnett, who went to the as
Ssistance of Buckheister, was seriously
injured.
"a. j. Mckinney, w. D. Davis, and
Robert Kirby were on the car and, it
seems, were raising disturbance.
Efforts to- induce them to cut short
their profanity were of no avail and
! nj. Buckheister told them that they
would be arrested when the city was
reached. He got off the car at the
sferner of Walnut and Magnolia
streets, and the men, or one of the
men, assaulted him with an empty
bottle. He was severely cut in the
head. The motorman, who went to
3 his aid, was kicked in the stomach
and seriously, though not fatally,
WOunded. The men were arrested
and held without bond until this af-
starnoon, when Mr.. Burnett's condi-
ton improved and they were releas-
ed. The case will be tried before
Mayor Lee and later, it is said, war
rants will be issued.
Mckinney is a brother of one OF
the men who recently had trouble
with the company, and it may be that
the; strike is what led up to the. af-
fair., Mr.. Buckheister is not liked
by some of the former motormen and
conductors.
