ages summon courage enough to fight the

Most Of the gorillas that have been seen
have been found between the Gaboon and

from the coast, and directly above the
equator The jungle in that region is very
dense.

Buffalo Jones, the Famous Old Ranchmnn.
Begins the Most Thrilling and Perilous
Hunt EUer Undertaken, With Tue
Intrepid Western Girls to Keep His
Fierce Prisoner from Dying of Grief.

%HARLES J, ("BUFFALO'O JONES
the leader Of the expedition 4
the African Jungle to rope a liz
gorilla, Ia one OF the most remaIkabl,
products of the West.
While he has been dubbed King of tn,
Cowboys. and his experience anG
prowess probably entitle him to thai
honor, he is considerably more than d
cowboy In scientific circles, at any rate
he will be best remembered as the orig
inator of two new types OF animal He
might perhaps, be described as the
Luther Burbank Of the animal kingdom,
for he has done with animals what Bur-
bank accomplished with plants and fruit
trees.
His first success in this field was the
development of the cattalo-a cross be-
tween a buffalo and a domestic cow
Always interested in the preservation of
the American bison, which was rapidly
becoming extinct, Jones conceived the
idea some years ago of propagating the
new type. 1t took several years of ex-
detrimental work before he succeeded in
raising the hybrid creature which he
christened the cattalo, but his labor was
well rewarded.
On his ranch at Portales, New Mexico,
there are now about hundred of these
animals The cattalo is about a third
larger than cow, Weighing some 1900
pounds apiece, whereas the average COW
weighs only 1900 pounds. Cattalo meat
is sweeter than beef, and cattaIo robes
or rugs bring bdg prices in the fur
market; $1,10O is the average price for

full-size cattalo rug
But the principal value OF the cattaIo
as compared with the COW. lies In III,
fact that the cattalo will thrive on sol
where domestic COW would starve.
The other new type Of animal bred
by Mr. Jones is the Persiarino sheep,
which is cross between the domes-
tic merino sheep and the hardy Per
sian sheep There are some 1900
Persiarinos on the ranch at the pres
ent time. Their wool sells for almost
double that OF merino wool and the ami.
mails are third larger than the domestic
merino Their mutton is sweeter. bring.
ing better prices than domestic varieties.
In 1910 he sailed to British last Africa.
He succeeded in roping almost every
type of animal that African hunters
hitherto have shot to death. Had he
been equipped with cages. he might have
brought back enough live specimens to
stock menagerie. AS it was, however,
he had to release most OF those he CAP
tured
The new venture will be more satisfac-
tory in that respect. Not only does the
little party expect to bring back a live
gorilla, but they will rope and cage as
many other beasts of the Jungle as they
are prepared to bring back.
Their adventures in darkest Africa will
be full OF thrills. Readers Of this news
paper will have an opportunity to read
of them In these columns and to see the
photographs the party will take, as ar.
have been made to receive

,edision as the hunt progresses.

Some Interesting Facts About the Gorilla

y HE gorilla is the animal most nearly
related to man. It is the largest
ugliest and dercest Of all monkeys
1t has no tail. 1t is larger than the
average man and several times as strong.
It's arms and chest are Of enormous pro.
portions
NO fullgrown gorilla has ever been cap
tured alive. Some years ago a German
trader Killed one IN the German CAMERON
country. some two hundred and forty miles
above the equator, which weighed over five
hundred pounds and stood FIVE feet SIX
inches high. It took twelve men to carry
Its dead body to the village. Larger speci-
mems have been reported by hunters, and
the natlves tell Of specimens eight and nine
feet tall but these latter figures are believed
to be exaggerated
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-03-22

But there was never a more alert ami
NAL than wild horse. AS my husband
often says, "a wild horse is the smartest
thing a man ever fooled" but we've often
fooled them. I've seen my husband rope
a wild horse from the boughs of a tree,
waiting patiently until the horse came
within range of his rope and then getting
him.
But neither Mrs. Mougey nor Is
worrying very much about how they're
going to get the gorilla. That is up to
the men.
Our duty Is simply to keep him alive
after we've got him Gagged, ana the dnlu.
ence of women, lowering about with ten.

enable Mr.. Jones to bring the gorilla

the United States. We can't very well
give up our husbands to wait on this silly
ape, and yet We shall be afraid to leave
him after he has grown attached to us for
fear the blow will kill him.
The only solution of this problem that
we can see at the present time is to intro
duce q third woman to him after he gets
into some zoo-a woman connected with
the Zoe perhaps Gradually then we shall
probably be able to turn his love for us
into hostility and at the same time this
third woman will be attracting his atten-
tons. In that way. perhaps, we shall
eventually be able to end our Platonic
courtship without disastrous results.
They say the gorilla is very alert
animal and that we may have trouble
with him on that account.
