WHIPPED THE LEOPARD.
But 1t Took Troop of Balloons to Kill
the Bic Cat

the Big Cat.
A vivid pen picture of a fight be
tween a leopard and a troop of balloons
is given in German paper by 2. Rit
ter. a sportsman and explorer in Ger.
man West Africa. Leopards have g
particular liking for baboon flesh
which is often used as bait to trap
them.
"One afternoon the hunter relates,
II was resting on the shady side OF a
Dig rock which formed the bank of q
small stream. On the opposite side a
troop OF balloons came down chatter
ing toward the water, a large male go
ing cautiously in front. glancing and
seeming around for danger. / remain
ed immobile.
"A deep grunt assured the herd that
all was well, and down the steep slope
they came, last of all a female with
two young. which the mother tenderly
helped over the rough places. Sudden
ly big leopard shot out from behind
a bowlder and with one blow of his
paw grabbed one of the young.
The mother, with a roar of fury.
threw herself upon the big cat The
others halted and with one accord
clambered back to her assistance. The
leopard had just settled the female and
was about TO make of with his prey
when he found himself surrounded by
the whole horde, which closed in upon
him.
He gave as good as he got, and
two big balloons rolled down the slope
apparently done for, but numbers told,
and he was literally torn to pieces. 1t
was horribly fascinating sight, and
never regretted more having no camera
with me than l did then"

CLUB NOTES

The second annual trip to General
Sibley's crossing on the Sheyenne river
which is just sixteen miles north of
Valley City was enjoyed a few DAYS
ago by the members of the Sorosis
club OF that city under the direction
of DIR. o. @. Libby Of Grand Forks.
president of the state historical So
ciety. The trail OF Sibley's march in
1868 when he crossed the river to ouell
the Indian uprising near the Missouri
Is plainly visible through Barnes coun-
ty and the Sorosis club ifs interested at
the present time in the preservation
of it's history, their study being npon
old land marks. The trip to the scene
Of the meeting was made by automo-
biles from Valley City. Not only the
thirty members of the club were pres
ent, but also number Of the faculty
OF the normal school and high school
were invited. County superintendent
of schools Miss Minnie Nelson, who
is member OF the club, had invited
the teachers and pupils Of nearby
rural school to be present and they
had collected brush for a big bonfire,
SO, to the company assembled on the
bank Of the river, as the water rippled
peacefully by and the fire cracked. DIR.
Libby talked about Our State History
Its Significance. He urged his au-
ditors to be proud OF the early history
OF the state and to collect and pre-
serve facts OF local history before 1t
is too late. This history cannot be
found In any book. 1t can only be OBJ
tanned through the pioneers who are
rapidly passing away The club ex-
poets next year to arrange another
trip to some place in the county OF
historic interest.
