I—— Hunters, Led by F. C. Selous, Had a Narrow Escape From Elephant, Which Was Shot From Ambush. Baby Elephant Captured Will Be Sent to New York Zoo. It has been learned that Kermit Roosevelt lost his way from his fath- er's camp, near Machako, in British East Africa, and that he spent an entire night alone on horseback, rid- ing through a region unknown to him. In the morning he turned up at Kiu, a station on the railway, inquiring there the way to camp and was given the desired directions. Theodore Roosevelt has killed his first elephant. It was a big “tusker.,” and the former president picked it out of a herd of about a dozen. A baby elephant about two months old was roped and taken alive, and it will go as a gift from Colonel Roosevelt to the New York Zoological Gardens. Colonel Roosevelt, his son Kermit and F. C. Selous had a narrow escape from the elephant which fell a prize, The men were out for lions near Machakos, and there had been no re- port of elephants in the district. They wounded a lion returning to its lair, and the animal led them on a chase of sevr-al miles. Colonel Roosevelt reached a fringe of grass at an open spot and instantly brought his rifle to his shoulder. Selous rose until he was almost stand. ing upright, and saw that the former president was aiming at the leader in the herd of elephants. His whispered command came just in time to keep Colonel Roosevelt from firing at a range of about 200 feet. Selous insisted upon a retreat, and warned Colonel Roosevelt that to fire on the herd would be to invite death in a charge. Roosevelt reluctantly moved back along the trail, and followed Selous in a wide detour. The Englishman hai marked down the herd. He kept safe- ly to leeward, and finally directed Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit to climb a tree. All three men went into the branches, and were able to make out the backs of the elephants through the towering reeds. Roosevelt's elephant gun, firing explosive shells, was in the camp. Selous advised him in aiming, and he sent half a dozen bullets into the big “tusker.” The elephant charged the fire, and went down on its knees close to the tree. Then at a distance of about forty feet Roosevelt fired and the ani- mal fell over dead. The rest of the herd tore wildly through the thicket in retreat, Kermit trying several shots, but without effect. Twenty Drowned When Launch Sinks, Twenty persons are missing and all are believed to have been drowned when a gasoline launch sank in the middle of the Ohio river near Schoen: ville, four miles below Pittsburg. Of the thirty occupants of the boat only ten are known to have escaped. All the men were employes of the Pressed Steel Car company at their McKees Rocks plant. The men left the works to cross the river in the launc!. The boat is said to have been intend. ed for not over twenty persons, and it is said it was dangerous to attempt to carry as many as twenty-five in it. But all the men wanted to get across the river on the first trip of the boat, and thirty of them crowded in. There was no explosion, no leak was sprung, but the boat simply sank beneath the weight it had been bea: ing and went to the bottom. As it sank it caused a suction which took many of the men down with it. Others attempted to swim ashore, but were chilled by the cold water and became exhausted before reaching the shore, So far as is known but ten of the men reached the shore. Sanderson Dies In New York. John H. Sanderson, chief “trim: mer” of the $13,000,000 state capitol at Harrisburg, Pa., died suddenly o! Bright's disease in New York, just after he had returned to his apart: ments at Sherry’s from a drive in Cen- tral park. He left Sherry’s in a victoria for a drive through Central park, but after be had been out a short time he told the driver to hurry back to Sherry’'s. as he felt ill. He went at once to hir apartments and told a maid to call a doctor. He then went into his bedroom. When the doctor arrived he found the contractor dead. Sanderson's illness was aggravated by his conviction and sentence in the Dauphin county court, March 13, idus, Pending the decision of the superior court, to which appeal had been taken, the chief capitol “trimmer” was re leased in $25,000 bail. Twenty Killed by Explosion. Twenty men were killed by a prema. ture blast of dynamite in a stone quarry operated by the Callanan Road Improvement company near South Bethlehem, eleven miles southwest of Albany, N. Y. One thousand pounds of dynamite exploded, and the of the vic tims were hurled hundreds of feet by the concussion and so badly mutilated as to be almost beyond recognition. As darkness was falling a wagon drew up to the engine house loaded with bodies that had been picked up back on the quarry hill. A crowd of grief stricken relatives gathered around, eager to identify the dead, only to turn away at the sickening sight. Dog Saves Man Sinking In Bog. His attention attracted by the an- tics of a dog that was racing up and down the tracks of the Reading rail- way between Chester, Pa, and Eddy- stone, William Peet followed the ani- meal, which was barking and whining piteously by turns. The dog led Peets to a quagmire a couple of hundred yards distant from the railroad tracks and there he found Harry Morrison, of Chester, stuck in the mud up to his armpits and gradually sinking. Me Morrison was rescued by Peet an a couple of men who were hailed Ly the rescuer, being dragged out upon the bank and the mud scraped from his clothing. It was an hour before Morrison was able to tell how he had attempted to cross the bog for a short cut to Eddystone, missed his focting and went down into the mire. He shouted for help until he was unable to speak, and would have been buried alive had it not been for the dog's ef- forts in his behalf. Big Fuel Merger.
