I'MKOWNtl) ivlMi WAS HINTED TO HIS GRAVE .American Who Set His Rule ia > * Darkest Africa?Tracked by Bold Britons. i London, Aug. 19.?Hunted down by ^ British soldiers in the depths of the jungles of central Africa, where for ft years in defiance of all authority he had pursued the career of an elephant jpacher and illicit ivory trader, James Vward Rogers, an American, is dead. | Hi was shot down by a little force j m.of troops which had been sent into j ggf Ihe wilderness in pursuit with orders j not to return without the outlaw dead j ' I nr alive. rNews of Rogers' death came formally today to the British colonial office from. Capt'. C. V. Fox, inspector of Mangahall province, who commanded i the expedition. Although told in an official report the story, revealed is one of the most dramatic in colonial annals. Defiant for Years. For years Rogers had carried on his lawless trade, which popular ^ opinion credited with netting him a 0 fortune. The remote regions along J the Lado Enclave and Congo boun fdaries were the scenes of his operations. Time after time British officials of the Soudan had tried in vain to trap him. It was this defiance of years which determined the government to crush the old man. . Capt. Fox's report shows that in his lor.^ operations Rogers had 0?ne inore than had been dreamed of by the colonial officers. He had established an organized administration over the wide trackless country and K was actual, if uncrownea King, me W outlaw in handling his subjects and [ in the pursuit of his trade drew from ^ Ca.pt. Fox, in his report, the tribute that Rogers* work was worthy of a better cause. Not since the explorer, Henry M. Stanley, pierced the jungles in 1871 and found Dr. Livingston has such, a tale of hardships, trials and B danger come out of Africa. Capt. Fox's report in this respect resembles most W nearly perhaps the tale of Gen. FunL ston's dogged pursuit of Aguinaldo ' in the'Philippines. ToI<? to Get Rogers. For rhe purpose of tracking the out. law the English commander was given a noncommissioned subordinate and six Soudanese soldiers. Carriers and mules for the transportation of sup/ plies were part of his equipment. His instructions were plain?not to return ' until the outlaw was captured. With a soldier's disregard for red tape, Capt. Fox, in his report, fails to men* tion dates in describing the man hunt. Apparently the denouement of the jungle came three months ago. The pursuers then had spent weeks plunging through the jungle that almost defied passage, Rogers cunningly leading them through the deensest of swamps, forests and across deen 4 X streams. Before the outlaw was overtaken. he had crossed the Nile into the Belgian Congo. > . , Creeping up the Uganda bank of the Nile- the expedition dusucu iuiward for six weeks before the quarry was located. Fox and his men had then worn their clothes to tatters and their supplies were exhausted, leaving them facing starvation in the wilderness. Jeered by Quarry. The last 12 hours of the pursuit was , particularly trying. The chase letl i ?over a mountain with Rogers' men only a short distance in advance. As they fied, the ape-like natives of the outlaw sent back taunts ?nd j^ers at their pursuers. Dramatic in t!v? cx:v?>n? is Cut. Fox's description ne death of Ilog,-v ers. In the jungle info which they v had descended "rom the n? ?uriti iii 1'is ' party came suddenly upon a camp. A ^native approached the Eng'i-Of officer ^ and said: "The commander wants you to corns _ in. He is sick and can not come $ut." Entering the hut Capt. Fox found himself in a room dimly lighted by a candle. A white man was lying on ?. couch and beside him sat a companion, also white. For a time there was a dead silence. Capt. Fox believed he had been led into a trap. Then he asked: "Which is Mr. Rogers?" * ft "Mr. Rogers has been shot," replied ^the outlaw's companion. "Yes." interrupted Rogers, "and by your men." Defiant in Death. "Come, stand right here, so I can look at you," Rogers continued. His eyes were blazing and from beneath a bl&nket he drew a revolver and pointed it at the officer. "I am a dying man, I guess," he 4 -.said. "I didn't think they could kill o4d Rogers, but they got him this time. Still you ar^ on terr'tory aid you srar.d more cha'ice for arrest than I do." j Fearing that the revolver that menaced him might be exploded *at a time, Capt. Fox argued with the outlaw to gain time. Finally Rogers turned to his companion, whom he ad dressed as .uuciur, auu sam. "I want you to witness what I say, Doctor. Capt. Fox, I am a dying man, so I would not lie about anything. This was my show and all my work. I am afraid I have brought you into trouble, Doctor. "Well, I had my good times as well ac had t onn't stand relisrious Deo pie. If you have religious feelings just live up to them." A noise in his throat interrupted the old man's words. "Say, did you hear that?" he exclaimed. "That the death rattle. I've heard that too many times to make any mistake." This prediction proved correct for these were his last words. Capt. Fox's report also is singularly silent on this point, as he says he did not know the doctor. It is thought likely, however, t^at this was done to protect the man. ^ TO DRAW JURY.
