FOUR PERSONS KILLED
80. BY ORAN-OUTANG
(By Associated Press.)

(by Associated PreSS.
Surabaya, Java, Aug. THE
latest orang-outang hunt in Borneo
has resulted in the killing of four
hunters, the serious injury of two
others, ana the capture of two oran-
outangs for European zoos. The ami
mails have been sent to Singapore for
shipment.
The huntsmen, headed by Charles
Mayer. an expert in wild animals,
who recently arrived in Borneo on a
collecting expedition for European
ZOOS, set out for the Landak river re-
gion to capture two orang-outamgs
which made the adjacent country
unsafe for travellers.
Natives were engaged to fell the
trees within a radius of about a
quarter of a mile of the tree in
which the giant apes had their abode

81 suffered with indigestion and
stomach trouble of the worst kind
for eight years, and Tanlac is the
only medicine l have ever found that

Furman at Bettes' Pharmacy, Jack
sonville. Mr.. Furman is a well-to-
do-farmer of Duval county.
This trouble had such hold on
me-" continued Mr.. Furman, II was
Just simply in misery all the time
and never knew what it was to be
able to eat and enjoy my meals like
other people. My appetite was very
poor and at times / would just feel
like never would want another bite
to eat. Nearly always after eating
my stomach would feel. like there
was a big lump of lead in it.
Il could hardly ever sleep more
than two hours a night and was so
restless / would just toss from one
side of the bed to the other, and
when morning would come I would
Just feel like | didn't care whether
| got up or not. l suffered a great
deal from constipation, too, and all
through the day l would feel draggy
and no account.
Il spent hundreds of dollars try
ing to find something to do me some
good, and actually bought so many
different kinds of medicines my
house looked like young drug
store. Finally / decided to try Tan
lac, and l want to tell you right
now that 1 wouldn't give one bottle
of this medicine for everything else
put together. To tell you just how
much good it has done me, for I feel
like a new man and l believe my
eight years of suffering is all thing
of the past.
THAT heavy, draggy feeling | had
all the time has left me, and have
more life and energy than have had
for a long time. l don't have that
burning sensation in my stomach
any more either-in fact, | never
know what it is to suffer any more

seems to agree with me. Besides l
have picked up four pounds in
weight | have only taken one bot
tie so far and it has done me so much
good | am going to keep on taking

to take any chances of my old trou-

Mayer then began cautiously to
approach the apes tree, and, after
sighting the animals, which were OF
immense size, he gave his men a pre-
arranged signal, and with terrific
crash the partly Topped trees fell to
the ground.
A fire of branches was then lit
Underneath the apes tree, and when
the smoke had driven the animals to
seek refuge in the topmost limbs
some of the natives began telling
the trees, while others held in readi-
ness two large nets in which to catch
the apes. The tree swayed and fell,
and utterinDg savage cries, the two
animals, their long arms tightly
clasping one another's bodies, came
to the ground, and the nets were
thrown over them
The male orang-outang, contriving
to release one of his arms, clutched
Mayer by the leg, and dragged him
towards the net. Mayer defended
himself with an axe, but his leg was
broken before his men could come to
his assistance, and divert the attack
by belaboring the ape with a club.
The animal then released his hold
on Mayer, and seized one of the ma
tives, who was killed before anyone
could come to his assistance. A sec
ond native also fell a victim to the
fury of the animal, and while efforts
were being made to release him the
female orang-outang released her
arms from the net and killed two
men and crippled a third.
Mayer was carried away uneon-
scious, and, after having been at
tended by a native medicine ran,
was brought to RynbanE in Dutch
North Borneo. His condition is Sc
rious.

Gladys Writes
To P. C.'S
My Dear Miss Reynolds:
Prominent Citizens,

My Dear Miss Reynolds:
I've been writing to the. men for
so long that I've decided to take a
little vacation, and so I'm going to
write to you. Speaking of vaca-
lions, l think it does one good to
get away from the humdrum, and
when / decide whether to take
Grady, Ray, Will SammOn, TRULY,
George Moore or Fred Benford for
better or worse, and the minister
says: 81 pronounce you man and
wife," the first thing I'm going to
think about will be a vacation and
hubby not along. You see I've been
talking to older and wiser heads, fe-
male heads, mean, and they tell me
| it does couples good to get away
from each other. They say that when
they get back to living together
again they get along better. When
do take my vacation, I'm going to
leave you here to watch my husband
1 can't tell you who to watch yet,
because these boys are so slow in
Lakeland. They may be planning to
be in the "Old Man Darling class"
though, wait until they are as old as
Methuselah and then take one to
raise. That would be the life, now
wouldn't it?
I'm just going to love your new
store to death. think the way
you've set your front door way back
and put long, narrow windows on
the side is just too sweet for any
thing. | think when it all gets fin
ished it would be so nice if you
would have an opening and invite
everybody to see what fine looking
city store you've got. 1 would be
glad to come around and help you
get ready for it, and suggest how it
ought to be done, too. l think it
would be nice to have big punch
bowl filled with Chero-Cola right at
the front door, and I could serve it
for you. You'd get a big crowd If
you let it be known that Gladys
would serve for you, because every
body in town is wondering who am.
Some folks think I'm c. Green.
Amt that funny? If there's any
thing | do love it's G.. Green and
Chero-Cola.
Talking about your store, heard
that Jimmie Holcomb has been maxi
ing excuses to visit your store a good
deal lately, on account of his firm
furnishing the lumber for the work
you are having done, but I've got it
on mighty good authority that he
spends his time looking at a cute
little garment on your front show
case that he may buy one of these
days. It's so nice to see new bust
ness in sight. isn't it?
No more this time, from your
True Friend,

Sadie Jones was going to high school.
Her death was supposed to have re-

probably committed suicide, but eX-
animation of the body showed that
she had been shot in the head. Gus

were so against him that he was held

able to clear his client, that he be-
