MAULEO BY A LION.
An Unexpected Attack and Perilous
and Exciting Mixup.


Captain c. II. Stigand was once
mauled by a lion. and he recounts the
adventure in his Hunting the Ele-
plant In Africa The captain had
shot n lioness, and while watching the
body from a tree he saw two lions APP
proacb. They stood over the lionesS
and roared alternately for half an hour.
He succeeded in shooting them both.
but on approaching the body of his
second victim he found that it was not
quite so dead as it had seemed. Il APP
preached the edge. and immediately
the inert mass assumed life and. with
n roar, sprang on me with one bound

he found eight big holes in his arm

two years. He remarks modestly that
since that adventure he has bagged
seven more lions.

STANDING OF THE TEAMS.

As the division tournament at Pc
oria draws near the conference col
Ieges are coming down the home
stretch in one Of the most exciting
finishes of years, with Augustana of
this city slightly in the lead of all OPP
ponents. The local boys have cap
tured six out of their seven conference
games this year, while Wesleyan
stands second with eight out of ten
won. Normal and Bradley are close
behind. while the remainder of the
teams seem TO be practically out of the
running with the possible exception
OF Millikin.
The race has been close this year,
with first place see-sawing between
Wesleyan and Augustana, but the
locals led the largest share of the
season. The Augustana five won the
first contests played and then dropped
the first conference game which they
lost. to Bradley Poly OF Peoria. Garth
age was the next opponent and proved
easy. while Wesleyan was trimmed
and the locals regained the lead which
they have held since.
Hedding Here Tonight.
Hedding college of Abingdon is here
tonight for a contest with the locals
and q close game will doubtless be the
result, but the locals expect to win.
They have been training diligently
for the past few weeks and are in ex-
ceIIent trim for tonight's contest and
the division tourney.
II the locals win tonight they will go
into the tournament next week at the
top of the percentage column, but if
they lose they will drop into second
place unless McKendree defeats Wes-
leyan, which is not very probable.
The students at Augustana are jubi-
liant over the success of this years
team and can see nothing but victory
for their team in the final state title
games at Bloomington.
Next Friday and Saturday the divi-
sion tournament opens at Peoria, while
a week later the final state tourna-
ment between the fastest college bas-

RUSSIANS CLAIM TO
Be GAINING GROUND

Petrograd, Dec. 5.-The attempted
resumption of the German offensive
following the reforming OF the lines OF
the invading army has been without
result, il Is claimed here.
The Russians, il is asserted, have
extended their line further along the
Vistula. In the region OF Lowicz they
have again forced the Germans to
take the defensive. This line extends
TO the north of Lodz and unofficial
reports claim the Germans have been
forced to fall back throughout this
district.
Heavy reinforcements are being
rushed forward by the Germans to-
ward the southern end of the line and
at least five corps are believed TO
have reached Czenstenchowa. A
strong movement by these forces
along the railroad toward Radomisk
and piotrojow In an attempt to re-
lieye the pressure on the center is
anticipated.
