GAME WORTH HUNTING
STEWART EDWARD WHITE TELLS
OF KILLING OF IMMENSE LION.
Five WsII-Placed Shots Needed to Fin.

Under the Record.

Those who have been ION safari"

their number must now amount to
thousands-will read with great inter-
est Stewart Edward Whites modestly
told story of hunting journey from
Mombasa through the Shimba hills,
Nairobi, Kapiti, the Tsavo river and
Masailand. Mr.. White had the good
fortune to shoot almost record" big
lion. He thus describes the incident:
We had proceeded In this fashion
for about mile, when suddenly, and
most Unexpectedly, the biggest lion
ever saw leaped straight up from a
bush Is yards in front of me, and with
a tremendous roar vanished behind an.
other bush.
I had just time to throw up the .405
shotgun fashion and let drive snap
shot. Clifford Hill, who was ten yards
to my right, saw the fur fly, and we
all heard the snarl as the bullet hit.
Naturally we expected an instant
charge, but, as things turned out, it
was evident the lion had not seen us
at all. He had leaped at the sight of
our men and horses on-the skyline,
and when the bullet hit him he must
have ascribed it to them. AT any rate,
he began to circle through the tangled
vines in their direction.
From their elevation they could fol.
low his movements. AT once they set
up bowls of terror and appeals for
help. Some began frantically to run
back and forth. None of them tried
to run away; there was nowhere to
go! The only thing that saved them
was the thick and spiky character of
the cover. The lion, instead of charg.
ing straight and fast, was picking an
easy way.
We tore directly up hill as fast as
we were able, leaping from rock to
rock and thrusting recklessly through
the tangle. About halfway up jumped
to the top of high, conical rock, and
thence by good luck caught sight of
the lions great yellow head advancing
steadily about 80 yards away. 4
I took as good sight as I coy

This stopped his advance; he lay
down. His head was up and his eyes
glared, as he uttered the most rever.
berating and magnificent roars and
growls. The dogs leaped and barked
around him.
We came quite close and planted
my fourth bullet In his shoulder. Even
this was not enough. 1t took fifth

JURY SAYS THE new
EDITH TAYLOR ISN'T
GUILTY Of Theft

Quantities that would kin the ordt
nary human being. But after the
operation. there wasn't the least
cfaving for drugs
She was entirely cured. Her
mind freed from the dullness OF
the drug. her whole thought and
view of life underwent a complete
change.
Yesterday she was tried for
stealing the money from the hotel
safe. Edith Taylor did steal II.
But II was the Edith Taylor OF
old II was not the Edith Taylor
Of today.
That was the defense.
-Attorney J. Y. G. Kellogg told
the Jury she was not mentally re-
sponsible when the theft was com
mitfed.
He argued the innocent Edith
Taylor OF today should not be sent
to the penitentiary for a crime
committed by an altogether differ
eat Edith Taylor OF a few months
ago.
And the jury. after wrestling
with the problem for some time,
refurned the following verdict:
1--WE find the defendant. Edith
byior. not guilty by reason OF In
unity at the time the crime was
oommitted. We find she 10 not la
boring under any mental lrrespon-
ability, but she may relapse into
her previous condition, and for
tnat reason may not be safe TO re-
main at large at present"
@Under this verdict. Edith Taylor
must remain in the custody OF the
Court until II II absolutely estab-
lkhed she Is free from the drug
habit
Finder the law. II will be up to
.Isdge Macintosh to send her
either to the insane ward in the
pfnisentiary or else place her in
custody OF some private citizen.
~Ons woman in the jury Is said
u have offered 10 take care OF her
until the court Is satisfied that she
10 really a new Edith Taylor.
AT present, she is held at the
county jail.
