A BIG SLAUGHTER
Teddy'8 Africa Trip Results in
'4 Heap Big Game.''
Col. Roosevelt and the others of
his immediate party sailed last
week on the steamer Dal for
Khartoum, where they expect to
/ arrive March 15. With the de-
parture the African scientific ex-
pedition under the auspices of
the Smithsonian institution ot
Washington and led by the ex-
president of the United States
was. for all practical purposes,
brought to a close.
Colonel Roosevelt considers tlia
/
\
; the killing of the giant elands in
' his recent excursion along the up-
per reaches of the Nile was a tit-
ting ending of a marvelously suc-
cessful trip. The results, general-
1 ly from the standpoint of the
hunter and the scientist have, ex-
I ceeded all expectations.
Colonel Roosevelt and his son
, Kermit have killed some six hun-
dred specimens of large animals.
The bag includes the following:
Seventeen lions, 11 elephants,
10 black rhinoceroses, 2 white
rhinoceroses, !• hippopotamus. !• ^
giraffes, • > leoyards, i ehetahs. • > j
gian". elands, ' sables. 1 sitatun^H j
nd 2 hongoes.
All these were killed in the in-
terest of science, and the speci-
mens will be disposed of accord-
ingly, the greater number Roinn
to tlieS mithsonian institution. Mr
Roosevelt will retain not more
than six trophies for himself.
From the point of importance
the most highly prized game may
be rated as follows:
First—The gaint elands, the
first complete specimens of which
family are now being taken from
the country.
Second—The white rhinoceroses.
Third—The bongoes, the first
to be stalked and killed by a
white man.
Fourth—The sitatunga. a spe-
cies of antelope.
The naturalists secured a re-
markable selection, comprising
many thousands of birds and oth-
er mammals. The results in this
line have been most gratifying
and science will be enriched by
several new species and an enor-
mous series of the smaller mam-
mals of Africa. The game taken
and the selections made consti-
tute a world's record for a sim
ilar period of hunting and scien-
tific research in Africa. The
American museums will receive
the greatest collection of Atriean
fauna in exisLeucc

Four railways in th" country
laim that not one passenger was
killed while traveling upon their
trains during the last year. Phe
Chicago and Northwestern Kail-
way company declares that 27,-
000.000 were carried over its rails
last year without the loss ol a
single life. The Delaware and
Lackawanna railroad claims that
during the last ten years it has
carried 193,727,224 passengers
without the loss of a single life.
The statistics for the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company for 1909
have not been computed but the
officials of that railway claim
that ther" has not. been a singlt
passenger killed in a train wreel
.'■>r more than fifteen years. Dur-
ing the year 1908 the lines ot tIk
Pennsylvania system carried 11,-
{44.41 H less passengers than in
907, and the total number of pas-
sengers injured in train accidents
numbered only 102. a reduction

the woman who was arrested by
Officer Capshaw, who was sent
from the station in answer to a
telephone call.
Learning the particulars of the
case Sergeant Reah advised
Pruiett and Sniggs, attorneys for
the bank, to take the case to the
county as it was out of the city's
jurisdiction.
They wanted the woman held
in order that they might get
back the $400 drawn by her and
she was taken to the secret ser-
vice department where she is now
being held.
Her story is that she knew
nothing of her husband's actions
but. states that when she left the
bank withli the money she had
drawn her husband approached
her and demanded the money
which she gave to him.
Meanwhile "hubby "is loose

If he hasn't already left.
In his pocket, neatly creased

Two hundred belongs to the lo-
al bank.—Oklahoma City Times.

New Kind of'' Green Goods G arre
A green-goods game—new. uni-
que and calculated to get the
money—was worked successfully
on a local bank Monday morning
to the extent of $200.
A couple givinp their names as
Mr. iind Mrs. Z C. Cr.iitr arrived
in Oklahoma ' 'ity a few days
ago. Mrs. Craig had $700 which
she gave to her husband to put
in the bank.
He deposited the money but
had the deposit slip made out in
his name. Upon his arrivel home
his wife, going through his
•lothes. found the bank book and
immediately a small argument
started and as a result Craig re-
turned to the hank and had the
account changed into his wife's
name.
Monday, bright and early. Mr.
and Mrs. Craig both went to the
hank—about the snnt ■ titne. Mr.
Craig with a big flourish of the
pen wrote a cheek ' r $">(10 and •
at the next desk hi wife in a |
small, neat hand wrote one for
$400. Mr. Craig stepped to a !
window and requested the money.J
At the next window his wife pre - j
sented her check and requested |
the money. Both were paid and
both got out of the bank before
the mistake was no'iced.
Officials of the bank learning
of their loss trailed out on the
