Four Die on Orang-Outang Hunt.

f0QT Die on UTd0S-UUIA0g HUNT.
Surabaya. Java.-The latest orang-
outang hunt in Borneo has resulted in
the killing of four hunters, the serious
injury OF two others, and the capture
Of two orang-outangs for European
ZOOS. The animals 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 col
lectng expedition for European ZOOS,
set out for the Landak river region to
capture two Orang-Otangs which made
the adjacent country unsafe for trav-
elers
Natives were engaged to fell the
trees within a rarius of about quar-
ter of mile of the tree in which the
giant apes had their abode with the
exception OF those Immediately sur
rounding it, which were only partly
cut
Mayer then began cautiously TO ap-
prOach the apes tree. and after sight
ing the animals. which were of i'm
mense size, he gave his men a prear-
ranged signal. and with a terrific crash
the partly Topped trees fell TO the
ground.
fire of branches was then lit I'M
derneath 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 readiness two
large nets in which to catch the apes.
The trees sWayed and fell and utterlng
savage cries, the two animals, their
long arms tightly clasping one anoth-
er's bodies came 10 the ground, and
the nets were thrown over them.
The male Orang, Contriving TO re-
lease 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 d club. The animal then re
leased his hold on Mayer, and seized
one of the natives, who was killed be-
lore anyone could come TO his assist
ance. A second native also fell VIC
TIM TO the fury of the animal, and
while efforts were being made TO re
tease him the female orang released
her arms from the net, and killed two
men and crippled a third.
Mayer was carried away unconsc1-
Gus, and after having been attended
by native medicine man was brought
70 Rynbang in Dutch North Borneo.
HIS condition is serious.
-Four days later his native servants
arrived there. bringing with them the
Two captured orang-otangs which have
since been dispatched for shipment TO
Europe

BEGIN EXAMINATION
OF Ell PASO TROOPS

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. S-The physical
examination of the guard troops en-
camped here, begun today by regular
officers from the medical corps under
strict army standards, is causing much
apprehension among guard officers.
These troops were rushed to the bord-
er during the Mexican crisis without
proper examination. The enlisted men
who have less to lose if rejected than
the officers do not express the same
degree of uneasiness over the out
come. Eye sight tests are particularly
feared.

Page Announcement in The Argus
Last Evening of Extraordinary
Interest to Mothers.

The page announcement of the
Sturtevant Dairy company, 1914
Seventh avenue, in The Argus last eve

comment. 1t brought 10 the attention
of mothers in a forcible way the need
of pure milk for their babies, espe-
cially at this time of the year. Inas-
much as a baby's main food is milk it
behooyes every mother to make certain
that the milk she is buying is absolute
ly pure Sturtevant & Baker are
justly proud of their product and their
service is the best.
