Earnest Sewer Cox is not man of

his way through school, through VAN

the University of Chicago, earning

he worked his way, doing labors such

only kept off by the size of the party.
This was near village named Mporo-
koso. At the village the English resi-
dent commi ssioner told of the expert
ence of his predecessor at the post
Johnson by name. Johnson was a
Scotch Highlander, of gigantic proper
tons and herculean strength. Hunt
ing one day, his party was attacked by
three lions and the gunbearers threw
down the guns and climbed trees. One
of the black boys. not quick enough,
was seized by lion. Johnson, with
one shot, killed the beast. Another
lion attacked gunbearer lying on the
ground. johnson killed 1t likewise.
But the third. a lioness, sprang on the
white man before he could reload. seiZ

animal off and then tried to climb a

attack. sprang upward and pulled him
back to the ground. Again he kicked

to safety and again the lioness dragged
him down. Then Johnson thrust his
wounded left arm into the mouth of
the lioness and seized her tongue, hold
ing on grimly while the animal chewed
his arm and clawed at his body.
All the while he was working his rife
around so that with his right hand he
could work the lever and throw a car
fridge into the chamber Succeeding
he held the rife with his right hand
and sent a bullet through the heart of
the lioness. He was carried six days
journey to Fort Abercorn for medical
treatment, but a slight scratch under
his knee, unnoticed by the doctor, be-
came infected and johnson died Of
blood poisoning. The fight with the
lions occurred in northern Rhodesia,
near Lake Tanganyika.

of his travels and their object. From
Manila Mr.. Cox went to Japan, and
from there to Honolulu, on his way
back to the states.
Returning to San Francisco just at
the time fighting was going on at Vera
Cruz. Mr.. Cox, who was a volunteer
in the Spanish-American war, return
ed TO his home in Tennessee, expecting
to be called on again to volunteer.
When the call failed to come he start

Down the west coast of South
America his journey led to Peru.
Thence across the Andes at Cerro de
Pasco and down the eastern slopes of
the giant mountains he struck a
tributary of the Amazon. Proceeding
down the tributary he reached the
main stream at Iquitos. The remainder
of the journey was by canoe down
the great river His narrowest escape
from death was when his canoe cap
sized in a rapids on the Amazon. All
of his belongings were lost, including
his camera and hundreds of films, his
guns. ammunition. food and clothing,
as well as his money. For three days
he was without food and without
means of obtaining it, until he reached
a human habitation.

be found. He was George Grey, Eng

whose word sent Englands forces on
land and sea into the European cat

George Grey died as such men almost
always do. Ordinary adventure had
palled on him; he no longer got

rifles; he hunted the eaters with a

sufferers strength rapidly. First-class
physical condition to begin with, the
character of the fever and the fact
that during this time most of his tray
cling was done at night, enabled Mr..
Cox to cover the 400 miles.
Part of this journey was through the
belt infested by the dreaded tsetse. the
fly that causes the African sleeping
sickness and from the bite of which
there is recovery. Leagues and
leagues of the country in this infested
zone, Mr.. Cox said, was deserted by
all domestic animals. No natives could
or would live there, and it was only by
the use of threats and promises of ex
traordinary rewards that his own bear
ers were induced to traverse the tsetse
belt.

the penalty, the same as if the

MUST RUN TO AVOID KILLING.
Court Rules It's Murder to Stand When
 Life Is Threatened.

Trenton, x. J.-In an opinion filed here recently by Chief Justice Gum mere sustaining q conviction of mur- der in the second degree the supreme court says:
 "A person upon whom an assault is made so violent in its character as to endanger his life or threatens him with serious bodily harm is not Justified or exCusable in standing his ground and killing his assailant if he can avoid the impending danger by retreating."
 The case was that of NunziO al Maria of Harrison. who was sentenced to from twenty to thirty years in prison for shooting Frank Barber.
 The charge Of the trial court to the jury regarding the law of self defense was the only ground for reversal of the conviction. The instruction objected to was that the defendant had a right to aavp his own life.
