THE JUNGLE INSTINCT
 VERSUS HUMAN WISDOM
Two Are Fitted Against Each Other in Hunt For Escaped Animals
 in Jersey

Newark, N. JS Aug. Il R-The jungle instinct for freedom of two tropical animals, a chimpanzee and a leopard were pitted against hu- man wits In the woods and hills Of New Jersey today.
 The chimpanzee, dissatisfied with its lot as the pet" of Leon Sholder. of Elizabeth, yesterday emulated the example of the leopard, which es- capped last Thursday and disap- peared, leaving altogether too many traces for any of them to be re- liable.
 The simians broke its leash and fired a barrage of ripe tomatoes at some hardy children who attempted its capture. It bit its owner and a policeman and threw the town into an uproar. In its final exit from Elizabeth. the animal carried with him the greater part of a window sash which had been the futile bar rier separating him from the cellar of house and the open spaces.
 Meanwhile, three parties have been beating the woods for the leopard. As far as is known, the beast has not eaten since its escape from Oliver w. Holton's zoo near Middletown six days ago, although a farmer near Dover. 70 miles northwest of Red Bank, reported that some animal, which had been skulking in his barnyard, had made away with one of his chickens. Three leopard hunts were conduct ed In widely separated sections of the state yesterday but without sue. cess.

Texas Farmers, Both Old
 Men, Kill Each Other

Sweet Water, Tex, Aug. II R)- Two men. old enough to be grand fathers settled their differences with rifles yesterday at Camp Spring, S5 miles north of here. and both died within an hour.
 J. D. Ware, 70, lived on a farm owned by W. S. Reed, 65, and i'll feeling Is said to have arisen be- tween them some months ago. Both are survived by large families. They lived within 100 yards of each other.
 Ware Is said to have fired first. but only one shot. Reed then emp tied his gun. They were only a few feet apart. and no one was close enough to make out the heated conversation preceding the shooting.
 Reed had had trouble with his tennant about crops, neighbors said. Reed was an "old timer" in the sec tion. but Ware had lived in the country only three years, and on the Reed farm only this year.

The Forest Primeval, Old Indian Mounds and His- torical Places There for the Sightseers.

Chicago, Aug. II Rl-Nature's handiwork and primitive peoples monumental remains strive with north woods atmosphere for pre- dominence in attraction in the Great Lakes region.
 Michigan's entire west coast along the lake of the same name is dotted with lakes and summer villages, with Mackinac island one Of the chief attractions. This island is crowned by an old French fort. standing as it was when captured by the British in 1763, but the re- mainder of the island still retains its primitive state, except for a modern road circlng it. Forest Primeval
 Summer colonies are scattered along the Lake Michigan shore on the Wisconsin side. while the states central, northeastern and northern sections are sprinkled with lakes and forest camping sites. Fishing abounds in all the lakes. Nature holds full sway in the heavy terrain of its northwoods territory. Indian lore Is found in many places, one of the most pie turesque reservations being that of the Menominees.
 Devils lake, near Baraboo, is visited by thousands each year. The lake Is fed by subterannean springs and has no visible outlet. Indian mounds nearby add to the mysteries of this section. Madison, the capital, Is surrounded by three lakes.

 Nations Watershed
 The Minnesota National Forest holds one Of the largest water reser- voirs. The forest is located at the headwaters of the Mississippi river and the watershed for North Amer ica is little north of Lake Winni- bigoshish. It is traversed by the Roosevelt and Minnesota scenic highways.
