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." ...

The sight of Indies "loafing
mound in the business uoctiou nnd !
on tho steps outside the Federal
building, and in the corridors in-1

week, as tho Vnlted States court !
session for southern OreRon, j
which convenes here next Tnes-1
day afternoon at two o'clock with I
Judfre It. S. Bonn presiding, will ;
undoubtedly attract many of the i
Rlunmth reservation Indians as
witnesses and spectatorsmen,
women and flappers for there are
several Important Indian cases to
be tried.
hi addition to tho docket, list
of jurors and outline of cases pub
lished lu yesterday's Mail-Tribune,
the trial of Almeda Loches Isaacs.
Klamath Indian woman, on an as
sault charse, is expected to be es
pecially jntercstfn?-' Sh. pleaded
not guilty before Federal Judge
Heau last week at Portland, to
charges of assault with a danger
ous weapon, upon which she was
indicted by tho last session of the
federal grand jury. 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. .'

Tho grape crop in the Kogim
Tilver valley will not be as heavy

sections to mildew, according to
current reports. M. Petard of

grower of that section, reported
Friday that Tokay grapes on his
place will not be ripe for another
week or ten days duo to the pre
vailing cool nights. One or two
vineyards in the central roint

of mildew, which seem to attack!

The lack of rainfall, which might
have been cursed by hunters, is
looked upon with some consolation
bv City Klectriclatl Harry Klna-
barger, who said last evening that
street lights havo been burning
better as a result. In rainy weath
er, many lights usually burn out
because' of the water action on
the glass wid connections." Somu
nights dozens go Into darkness
after a hard' storm, made more
obstructive to street illumination
by strong winds.
