It killed them so cruelly that It became
widely known as "tho man eater." He
wns finally destroyed by an organized ef
fort of English army oflloere.
Another famous roguo took possession
of a public road nnd attacked every passer
by. Suddenly darting from the jungle, It
would rush up tn an oz cart, solzo tho
driver with It* trunk nnd disappear. Re
peated raids at this kind so terrified tbc
people that a largo tract of land was to all
Intents and purposes deserted, but finally
an English hunter determined to rid the
country of tho roguo. jjy careful Inquiry
ho found that the elephant always seized
the driver, nnd If there were two catts In
company It choao the driver of tho lost.
Ho ho arranged two ox carts, putting n
dummy driver upon the second, wlitlo up
on tho first wns n stout bamboo cage. In
which tho hunter was to sit, rlile In band.
When all wns.rcndy, the two ox carts start
ed one day, followed by tbs hopes and best
Wishes of tho community.
Tlio fatal district was soon reached, and
about Imlf way down tho road them came
a crush, and tbc monstrous elephant, dnrk
and ugly, dashed upon tho party. Jinking
directly for tlio last cart, with a vicious
swing of Us trunk It seized on the dummy
man and inaila off, receiving as It went n
shot from the cago. Hut tlio oxen, alarmed
by Iho uproar, ran awny, leaving tho road
and taking to tho open eountty. They
tipped the cart over, nearly killing the
caged driver nnd tlio English sportsman.
What tlio elephant thought when It tore
tho dummy Into shreds must bo Imafilncd.
Home months later, however, this roguo
was driven away and caught.—C. F.
