Deep Attachment Found Among Jungle Animals

A lion was shot dead. His mate in
a paroxym of grief threw herself pros
trate over his dead body, then rose up,
every hair on her back bristling with
anger. She had caught the scent of
the slayer. She followed it up, and
coming upon his camp leaped over the
fence to where the man sat. After she
had literally torn him to pieces, she
turned to mourn beside her dead lord.
This is one of the tales of Family
Life in the Jungle" told in the Natal
Witness to indicate that in many cases
animals shave human feelings of love
and kindness to each other" Another
instance comes from the Kalahari. A
group of lions, male and female, and
two cubs, were gamboling in dry
river bed. Suddenly the lion threw up
his head; the air had told him mes

 The award was on a competitive basis and was made on the fine record shown by the local boy in two years at the Colorado institu- tion, the recommendation of the President of the college and Gov. George A. Parks
 Lagergren was an honor student at the Colorado mining school m both freshman and sophomore years and is now employed at the Alaska Juneau. He will re-enter the school next September He also holds the Colorado School of Mines scholar ship. This has value of $250 and the Women's Auxiliary award has an annual value of $750.
 Lagergren was an honor student for his entire high school course here, it was said today by Supt w. K. Keller. He continued that record in college. In his freshman year, for the first semester he re- ceived three honor, three A and two B grades, and in the second semested he had two honor and six A grades. In the first half of his sophomore year he had four honor, two A and two B grades, and in the last half, four honor, five A and one B grades.
 The new scholarship which he has just won was given by the western division of the Women's Auxiliary of the A. I. M. E., of which Mrs. P R. Bradley is chair man.
 Lagergren is the first of two Juneau High School graduates to hold the scholarship awarded by the Colorado School of Mines. His showing was so fine that the in- stitution asked Supt. Keller to se- lect another local student for the Alaska award. It went to Benny Messer who is duplicating the rec ord made by Lagergreen, MT. Kel- Ter said

LOUVAIN, Belgium, Jan: 31. - There's a new game at the Uni versity of Louvain-and it might be called hide the prince"
 Both students and faculty take part, and newspaper reporters are expected to join. Its cause is this:
 Ever since Archduke Otto attain ed his majority and so became head of the House of Hapsburg and pretender to Hungary's empty throne, he has been playing hide and-seek with reporters.
 And he has been having the time of his life. For though legally he has reached mans estate, he still is an 18-year-old youth, with all of the ages delight in pranks.
 This is the way the new sport at the Institute of Philosophy, Uni versity of Louvain, is played:
 A reporter comes through the arch from the Rue St. Michel into the cobbled court of the dim, cold building where the aspirant to Hungary's throne studies.
 He makes inquiries and fellow student beckons surreptitiously to Otto who joins the group with a twinkle barely hidden in his blue eyes.
 q know Otto" he volunteers. Gan I tell you anything about him?"
 The reporter explains he realizes Otto and his mother, the former Empress zita, are allowed in Bel gium on condition that they refrain from political action or speech.
 All the reporter wants, he says, is some human interest stuff how Otto acts, how other students treat him, what games he plays. And Otto answers gravely, draw l ing a slightly facetious picture of himself. This Otto, he lets it be known, is not bad sort of fellow though scarcely the sort of article

P.-T. A. TO HELP
 PEOPLE KNOW
 ALASKA BETTER
Judge Vic kersh a m to Speak on High Lights of
 Territory's History

Know Alaska better. All but a few residents of the Territory ought to. Many of them have a fine working knowledge of the history and geography of the rest of the world and yet are ,distressingly ig- norant of the annals and physical aspects of their own homeland. But such deficiency will not ob- tain much longer, because the Ju- neau Parent-Teacher Association has arranged a series of "Know Alaska Better" programs. The first of the meetings will be heard next Thursday in the auditorium of the grade school. Judge James Wick ersham, delegate to Congress, will discuss High Lights of Alaska History" None is better qualified to speak on this subject.
 Thirty Years of Study
 For 30 years, he has made his torical studies of this country His papers, pamphlets, documents and books relating to it are excelled only by the collection in the Con- gressional Library at Washington, D. c. A few years ago he publish ed an Alaskan Bibliography, repre- senting stupendous research. It is the standard, authoritative work of it's kind. It lists everything ever written ill any language about Alas ka, when and by whom written, and the present place of deposit.
 The judges address on High Lights of Alaska History" can be immuminating, indeed, and ab- sorbingly attractive.
 Other Interesting Numbers
 In addition, the program will contain other numbers of unusual interest. Sam Ritter, young man with a wonderful tenor voice, will sing; Miss Joyce Morris will give an instrumental selection, and Mrs. Wellman Holbrook and Mrs. Charles Hawkesworth will appear in delightful comedy sketch.
 Ordinarily, the Parent-Teacher Association meets the first Tues day of every month, but as one of the presentations of "The Beauty Shop" local talent play, will be given next Tuesday evening, the Association has postponed its Feb ruary meeting from the first Tuesday to the first Thursday night.

you could turn in as first payment on a really good car.
 Could you point him out to me?" the reporter asks, and Otto looks around carefully.
 '"I can't see his face" he replies solemnly, and some one in the back of the circle laughs.
 The reporter, suppressing an in- clination to join the merriment, goes into the little office and asks the black -robed, flat-hatted profess sor if he may speak to Otto. Thus must one play the game to the fin ish.
 The preceptor glides to the door, sees that the coast is clear, and turns to the reporter, his ascetic face lighted with the smile of naughty child
 You have been speaking to Otto for the past 20 minutes" he says.
 And Otto on his bicycle already is lodging down the cobbled street among old flower women in wood- en shoes and dog-drawn carts. He is off to the medieval castle at Steenockerzeel. five miles away. his home in exile.

STORM BREAKS
 BONES OF Z OF
 FARRACUT CREW
Ship Rides Terrific Seas and Will Be Back from
 Funter Tonight

After having battled on the Gulf of Alaska what officers on the steamship Admiral Farragut re- port as one of the worst storms in the history of those waters, the vessel hastened to Juneau last night to get two members of her crew into the hospital, and then retraced her route to Funter Bay to load canned salmon for Seattle discharge. She made her hurried, brief call here at midnight last night and will return at midnight tonight to take on mail and pas sengers for ports to the South.
 Three members of the ships company were injured on her voy- age from the Westward. Miss Edith Croft, 32 years old, suffered frac- lures of both bones of the left wrist. She was thrown with ter rife force by the tossing Of the vessel across the social hall In extending her arm, she prevented her head from smashing against the side wall, probably saving her life. She will remain in St. Ann'S Hospital several days at least.
 Fireman's Face Burned
 Paul Nagel, aged 19, fireman, was painfully burned about the face by a flash-back of flame in the en- zine room as he was blowing out the tubes of one of the boilers. His miShap was incidental to his work, and not occasioned by unfavorable weather conditions. His burns were treated at St. Ans hospital by Dr. L. P. Dawes, who says they will not result in permanent disfiguration. The young man expects to board the Farragut on her return here tonight.
 A sailor whose name was not re- ported to the local office of the Pacific Steamship Company was hurled against stanchion of the vessel on one of her sudden rolls and experienced the breaking of two of his ribs. He was treated aboard the craft. He did not come ashore here.
 The storm was so bad that Capt. J. E. Kolseth did not make the regularly scheduled call at Yaku tat. During the worst of the gale, he hove the vessel to for several hours.
 Wind Was Abeam
 The wind was abeam for almost all the voyage of the craft across the Gulf. Waves rose apparently mountain high Frequently the ship seemed to roll and pitch at the same time.
 There were seven cabin passen- gers aboard. They were Frank H Foster, Territorial Representative elect, Mrs. Foster and Mrs. K. G. Robinson from Cordova; Miss G. Bailey, Sam Kilchak and E. H. La- Boyteaux from Kodiak, and J. Carl son from Seward.
 All the passengers disembarked here, but with the exception of one or two, they will embark to- night to resume the voyage south.
 The Farragut will load 25,000 cases of canned salmon at Funter Bay.

SNOW DELAYS
BROWN COUNTY
MURDER PROBE
Sitting of Farm Pyre Ashes
Put Off Until Monday
by Quinn.
By Times Special

By ffies Cpect0t
NASHVILLE, Ind. March s. -
Snow that blanketed the ashes and
twisted bed springs in the ruins Of
the murder pyre Of Lee Browns
home halted probe for a new clew
into the Staying of Brown, disap-
pearance of his wife and son, Paul
Brown.
A thorough sitting of the debris
was planned for today, but was
postponed until Monday by Virgil
Quinn, deputy state fire marshal,
because of the weather.
The debris is to be searched for
a third body or Is caliber auto
matte pistol which Quinn says
killed Brown and the unidentified
person found with him in the ruins.
Burns Search Unsuccessful
Searching parties, according to
Sheriff Fremont Weddle, have
hunted the ruins on other occa-
sions for another body, but have
been unsuccessful. The search was
ordered by Quinn, when two In
dianapolis physicians. after exam
lining the murder pyre victims, found
that they were male bodies and not
male and female, as first thought
by Brown county officials.
Cooperation Of Brown county Of
ficials with Charles Bolte, investi-
gator for the state bureau of Grim
inal identifl cation, has been lack
ing since the findings of the physi-
clans.
Say Bunge's Story Checks
Bolte believes Chester Bunge.
hired hand and only eyewitness to
the crime, should be questioned
again.
Quinn and Brown county officials
say Bunge's story checks in every
detail.
Bunge said Mrs. Brown was slain
in the home by Paul Brown, their
son.
OOlbe pOlIllS OUT InaG Mrs. broWnS
body can not be found.
Brown county officials and Quinn
are of the opinion that Paul Brown
murdered his father and mother
and then killed himself.
Discrepancy in Theory
Bolte shows the discrepancy in
the theory in that Mrs. Browns
body has not been found nor has
the pistol with which the son killed
his parents and then slew himself.
He is in accord with Quinn and
other officials that the bodies are
those of Brown and his son, but
believes the possibility of slayer
wiping out the entire family should
not be showed aside.
II no body or pistol is found in
ne1-t weeks search and other Off
GERS refuse to delve deeper with
Bolte into the mystery it may be
written on the page Of unsolved
murders Of Indiana.
