NAMED BY BUFFALO
Elephant Hunters Experience in
 the Belgian Congo.
Shoots Animal When 1t Appeared In Range and Follows Quarry Into Jungle Only to Be Set Upon
 and Nearly Killed.

London.-A terrible experience with a buffalo recently befell wellknown elephant hunter in the Belgian Congo. He was after elephants when the ami nal appeared within range, and, con trary to his usual custom, the hunter fired. The shot took effect and the buffalo disappeared into the jungle.
 The hunter, who is dead-shot, and expected to find his quarry dead, fol lowed. Suddenly without the slight est warning, the wounded beast charged. believing with rage and pain, from behind some bushes so close at hand that the hunter had no time to raise his rifle and fire.
 Throwing aside the rife, he sprang into the air and clutched at branch of tree beneath which he was stand ing, and by drawing up his legs just managed to escape the buffalo's horns. But worse was to come. The buffalo turned and surveyed it's foe hanging helplessly overhead and immediately bounded into the air, it's terrible horns searching madly for its victim.
 The unfortunate man could climb no higher, for the tree was a small one, and one of the horns caught him on the thigh, ripping it open like knife. Again and again the beast sprang at the man, and again and again the re- ientless horns tore at his thigh and leg.
 With wonderful strength and cour- age the hunter bore about fifteen az onfzing moments of this torture, until at last the bullet took effect and the animal dropped dead on the ground

MEME RNEY LAND
TITLE FAILS To
CONVINCE COURT
Judge Sargent of Monterey
Renders mo Title Deci-
sion in Case of Frank
Place Lot
McENERNEY ACT WAS
EMERGENCY MEASURE
Act Does Not Confer Title,
but Merely Restores Evi-
dence of 1t

All persons holding property ac-
quired through the McEnerney act fol-
lowing the earthquake and fire, which
property before the catastrophe had
been a public thoroughfare, are liable
to lose it, according to decision
handed down yesterday by Judge
Bradley V. Sargent of Monterey,
sitting in extra session court No. a.,
in the case of Berton against all per-
sons.
Berton claims to be the owner of
the westerly 40 feet of Frank place,
a small alley near California and Mason
streets. He made out a prima facie
showing of title and brought action
under the McEnerney act
Judge Sargent's decision is believed
to be important in view of the fact
that there are several other cases on
record where title has been granted
to persons under the McEnerney act
of property that prior TO the catas-
throphe of 1906 was known as public
street or alley.
In his decision Judge Sargent main
tains that the city is not to be stopped
from asserting it's rights, when by
reason of default, title to certain prop
erty has been awarded by court to
private person claiming the property
involved.
In the case of Berton versus all
persons the city submitted testimony
tending to prove that the disputed
land is a part OF a public thorough
fare known as Frank place.
In lengthy review of various points
of law Judge Sargent maintains that
the plaintiff is securing his McEnerneN
title did not name the city and also
failed TO make mention of the fact
that the property was part of public
street.
The McEnerney act" said Judge
Sargent, rose Phoenix-like from the
ashes of the great fire and must be
referred to the condition caused there
by for its Interpretation. Therefore
the act does not confer title; it merely
restores evidence of it. 1t supplies
the loss of the record but goes no
further. 1t necessarily follows that
one who has no record title can not
invoke the state statute. The plaintiff
has no title

Charged by Opponents
With Lack of Ability

SACRAMENTO, July 2s.-Opponents
of Prof. A. ]. Cook, state horticultural
commissioner, have asked Governor
Johnson for hearing on the subject
of Cooks official ability.
This request is the result of more
or less dissatisfaction among certain
fruit men and several county horti-
cultural commissioners which has ex-
listed ever since Professor Cook took
Office.
The matter was brought to head by
the dismissal of several subordinates
who had been considered prominent in
horticultural circles. The last dis
missal was that OF George e. Merrill,
Cooks chief deputy, who was let so
on the ground that he was tempera-
mentally unfit for the work required
of him.
Merrill Immediately began q cam
paign to have Cook removed from Office.
Doctor Cook has expressed willing
ness that the matter be placed before
the governor and asked for an oppor-
tunity to present his side Of the case.
