MARSHALL PREY, LEOPARD Local Author On Return From African Hunt, Des-cribes'Blood-curdling Ex perience When Native Perishes Well Placed . Shots Drop Jungle Beast at Novelist's Feet. WILL CONVENE IE NKW YOJ1K, Sept. Wrlt- thc ins is the hat-dost work in world." Kdiriun Marshall, formerly ofj Jtedforil, Ore., well known novel lt anil winner of the O. Henry nwftrd for the best short story of I 1921, bnck from hobnobbing with I Kust' Afrtean lions for two months, is nuthorlty for this ytnicnu-nt. Listen to his plaint: I "ijtst winter I spent in the Are- tie, freezing to pet material for my novel, 'The Missionary nuv.-j runninc in Good Housekeepini;: magazine, j "The last two months I havei been through the depths of the ! Kant African jungles, the hottest.! sultriest, most deadly country ill the world. "Hut I had rather so throuch ten days of the utmost discom fort to be found in cither ot these extremes, than through ten min utes of exquisite torture at a. type writer, trying not to find an ex- euse for tiostiJouiiiK until another i day : the telliiiK. through the mouths of my characters, ot my experiences." . '. Marshall has had narrow escapes all over tho world, from Siberia to the tropics, i'.ul the eloHest came on this last trip, when he went, "back ot beyond" from Mombasa. Shot In Midair They chased a leopard from his 1.111 and followed the besal Into, the short crass on the cubo of a clearing. He continues: "Charles Cotter, my while hun ter, and I weiit. after blln. We were sure the Iiukc beaut could not be liidlnK in the short Kiass, so wc vlunKcd on Into tho li!t,'ln'i' growth. K'lnnlny. my nun bearer, for some reason did not follow me, as he should havo done. "Wc were well Into the tall crass when wc heard a scream from K'lnnlny. .Whli-lim; jiirountl ,1 .saw the loopiifif in mldaii'.-nnil-befoTe' I could move' a flUKei' the animal had struck K'lnnlny and bore him to the ground. The black Instinct ively threw his arms up under his chin, thus thwarting the leopard s effort to tear his throat open with his claws. "Neltfior Colter nor I could fire, Tor the leopard was all over the man at once. We both burst Into x run toward him. The leopard heard us coming. Dropping K'ln nlny,' he launcheed Into a leap to ward us, screaming In a manner that would turn your blood cold. Cotter and I fired at the same in stant, and both bullets took effect, but the leopard's Irementhius mo mentum kept him going until no tumbled right nt my feet." Country Deadly ' It ' was the dendllness of the country that most 'impressed him. Marshall said, nddinq: "Everything there Is always on guard. Not only the animals. The trees sprout longprotective thorns, and even the grass Is covered with heavy burs. If wc killed nn animal, fif teen minute after the kill the enr - casS would be picked clean. Wo built a thorn thatched shelter known as n "bomu." and used to lie there nights, watching the whole, vivid dninul ot Africa and life and death unfolding before, us." ...

She Is alleged to have attacked Cecil Jackson, another Klamath Iudinu, with a knife on September 17. Judge Mean set the case for .trial dur ing the .Med Cord term of -court. Of course the re-trial of Orville Davis, a Klttinath Indian, on the charge of first degree murdT will be the main criminal caae of Inter est. According to Klamath Fall Falls newspapers, a number of cases in which 'Klamath, county citizens are interested will be heard at this term. Chief among these is that of u number of Klam ath timber owners against Klam ath county to restrain the county from coilecting taxes under the budget which was adopted a year ago in December. Their summons to Kfirvo as Jur ors at this court session, whl h is expected to last Over t wo weeks, is heart breaking news to many Josephine and Jackson county men, because of the deer bunting season now being on and Judge Beani-will undoubtedly have to lis ten to unite a niimhnr of pathetic and apparently- truthful pleas to bo excused from jury duly, when court convenes next Tuesday. .'
