FIGHT FOR LIFE
WITH LIONESS
y, mm
Transport Agent Grasps Beast's
Tongue During Battle, But Is
Eventually Killed.
HUNTERS TELL WEIRD TALES
???? >

' London.?Prom Nairbbi, East Africa,
says a writer in the London Daily
comes a thrilling story of the
death of a transport agent named
Klopper, who, pinned down by a
liflfKSBS he had wounded, made a
desperate bid for victory by putting
hands into the animal's mouth
glipping its tongue.
Africa Is a paradise for the lion
hunter and the literature of the chase
is alSK)st endless. Xot all lion
hunters are strictly truthful, however.
"For Instance, in a remote African
village," says the writer, "I once came
across a deeply tanned prospectorhuDter,
who swore that his favorite
method of hunting lions was to get the
animals to sneeze themselves to death.
"It is quite simple,' he said. 'In
lion country you build a little arch of
stone, just big enough to allow the
lion to enter with comfort. But you
must take care to build it of jagged
stones and to see that the center stone
of the arch Is a particularly jagged
one.
u Then you go out and shoot a zebra
or some other toothsome creature from
the lion's point of view. You drag the
corpse under the arch, pepper it
heavily and thetf retire to your tent
; to sleep.
Sneezes Self to Death.
* 'In the night the lion comes,
creeps under the arch to his feast, gets
his nose filled with pepper, and has an
overpowering inclination to sneeze. He
sneezes, and in the act throws up his
head and dashes his brains out on the
center jagged stone of your arch.'
T do not vouch for the truth of
that story."
. A party of men trekking in Rhodesia
In an ox wagon heard a commotion
one night among their tethered oxen, ,
? a 4-L/v ovvAf mimnnH I'
2U1U I'UMXXXlg lUYVOIU l lie OjJVC puui^tu ,
about a dozen shots into the heaving
mass from a distance of, say, forty ,
yards.
The mass diminished, and they advanced
to find one of their oxen horribly
mauled by lions.
They "dosed" the corpse with strychnine
and retired to their camp. They
heard the lions busy at the carcass
all night, and in the morning they
found that the dead ox had practically
disappeared, but lying near the spot
were five full grown iions?two males
and three females?all poisoned.
That was a very considerable bag
got by illegitimate means, but here
is the true story of a better bag got
legitimately. Incidentally, it is a very
interesting example of sportsmen's
luck:
When the late President Roosevelt
and his son Kermit went to British
East Africa, in 1909, they were accompanied
on their hunting trip by
the late F. C. Selous, one of the
greatest hunters that ever lived.
' V, Roosevelt's Luck.
Selous was particularly anxious to
secure a specimen of the East African
black-maned lion, but on the whole
trip he never even got a shot at one.
But Theodore Roosevelt got three and
? ? a
Kermit Kooseveit eigne?ana neituei
of them had ever been on an African
game hunting expedition before!
Some years ago a party of Greeks
trekking through Portuguese Zambesia
were followed for days by a guant old .
lion, who took one of tlieir donkeys j
eagh night until only one of the whole
teem was left.
. This donkey the terrified Greeks
were determined to retain at all costs, i
v-<When they made their camp that
nlgbt they built around it a great
stockade of bushes and thorns, and in j
the center of it they tethered the sole
surviving donkey to their tent pole. ;
But notwithstanding these preenu- :
Hons, that night the pertinacious old
lion got the last donkey.
Has Late Fish Story.
Suva, Fiji.?Frank Clarke has re.
turned from a fishing trip on which
he says he-caught a strange fish. It
was phosphorescent, light brown, heav- j
ily built and with three gold hands
across Us back near the head.
